Why is Mural Maker better than a Projector and Grids?
Mural Maker offers several advantages over traditional art projectors and time-consuming grids/doodle grids. Unlike projectors, which can be bulky and require a dark room and a power cord, Mural Maker functions perfectly well outdoors, in bright daylight, away from power outlets, and doesn't even need Wi-Fi. Plus, the app allows artists to accurately compare colors and shades on their canvas to the reference image, making it easier to create more precise and accurate artwork... something that no grid or projector will ever be able to do.
In addition to simply tracing, Mural Maker offers a suite of tools and features such as...
Breakdown Mode
Enables artists to break down their image into stencils by color value. Artists can then print out a color palette, allowing them to mix their paints to the exact colors they need before they begin. The app then shows artists where to paint each color with augmented reality stencils.
Multiplayer mode
Multiple people can paint at the same time as the camera device can stream to multiple drawing devices. This makes it a perfect tool for group projects, workshops, and community mural painting events.
AR Tracking
Artists can get back to work in seconds instead of trying to re-align their overlay image back with their work. Mural Maker remembers their project's exact position, making it super easy for artists to work on their mural over multiple days.
Second Set of Eyes
Mural Maker is also your second set of eyes for any project. It allows artists to stand up close next to their giant artwork while simultaneously letting them look at it from far away.

What’s New
Version 2.0.6
We're excited to announce the release of our first major update for Mural Maker, packed with new features and improvements based on your feedback! Here are some of the highlights:
Introducing the brand-new AR Tracking feature, which remembers the exact position of your project and re-aligns your reference image right back into place over your artwork. This makes it easy to take a break or work on your project over multiple sessions, without losing your progress.
We've also enhanced the Breakdown feature, which now allows you to adjust the color values for each shade. Plus, you can physically print out those colors if you have a printer so you can precisely mix your paints, making it easier than ever to bring your vision to life.
Painting is more fun with friends, which is why we've added multiplayer mode. Mural Maker can now stream to multiple drawing devices, making it perfect for large-scale mural projects or group workshops.
We hope these new features will help you take your artwork to the next level. As always, if you have any feedback or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you for using Mural Maker by Da Vinci Eye!

Ratings and Reviews
Over-complicated and crashes
This is a great idea. It needs a lot of finesse before justifying the subscription. The interface and set up are way too complicated. iPhone icons are too small and the iPad app starts in portrait mode then seems to change to landscape… which is clunky and… weird.
It’s prone to crashing, as other reviews point out, and then you have to set up all over again.
This will be great with a design and setup overhaul and crashes fixed.
Good idea, not well executed
I’m short, don’t waste your time. I was 30 minutes into a complex drawing outline and the app crashed multiple times, luckily the photo was in the same spot when I re loaded, (You have to pay to have this feature though, the free one only gives you 10 minutes) Then mid way through (this was when I eventually gave up) I noticed the image (despite being locked) had moved. Because of the design having no ‘back’ button, this meant it was near impossible to move the image back to the exact same spot. Glad I only got the free trail. To note it is also a very slow process to draw from looking at the projected image on your tablet, versus drawing whilst looking at the canvas. Far easier to use a digital projector (cheaper than the apps yearly subscription fee) or other more traditional methods!
Developer Response ,
Oh no! I'm sorry you had a poor experience with the app. It would be great if you could shoot me an email info@davincieyeapp.com and let me know what devices you were using / what type of connection you had where the app was crashing. We're releasing a stability update in the next few days that should solve crashing issues on particular devices. Also, I believe the annual cost of the app should be at least 2 to 3 times cheaper than the cheapest projector you can find on Amazon. The way the app works, it gives you a different drawing experience than a projector, which has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. For example you can draw outdoors, you don't have to draw in the dark, you can compare colors, etc. The undo button is something we'll add in for sure! Its still a new app so feedback like this is greatly appreciated.
Tried it twice
I really wanted this app to work for me but it is a waste of time until they implement the big upgrade they’re mentioning. As it is, the app is a bit amateur, as it’s really easy to lose where you were working and have to start again. I can deal with the slightly slow or laggy response and lack of detail, but completely losing the precise projection is too much.
