REVIEWS

"...it’s like the other painting apps are kids crayons and this is a proper set of Artists oils. You can almost smell the linseed oil."
- Andy Cook (allaboutiphone.net)

"Hands-down, Inspire is the most addictive and fun painting app available for the iPhone..."
- Michael Essany (theiphoneappreview.com)

"Very enjoyable painting app. The blending feature is awesome... To anyone looking for a similar to Painter painting experience on the iPhone, I strongly recommend Inspire."
- Thierry Schiel (fingerpainted.it)

"One of the greatest features of this app is just how much control you have over what your brush strokes look like and what they actually do to the painting."
- David Hayward (appshouter.com)

"Inspire was one of my favorites out of all the iPhone painting apps I've reviewed so far."
- Sue Chastain (about.com)

● A stippling effect can be produced on the canvas by painting stab strokes with repeated taps on the screen
● The spacing between each application of paint within a brush stroke can be changed

Overall, this free version of Inspire is full of all the best features that we know and love. If you’ve always wanted to try out the painting app, but didn’t want to invest the $5.00, give Inspire Free a try. Even if you don’t decide to upgrade to the full version, you won’t be disappointed in what this app has to offer. Date: February 20, 2012

Inspire Free is surprisingly intuitive and powerful for a free app, though if you do feel the need to upgrade, you can: the pay-version of Inspire is $4.99. But with such a great free version, you won’t feel the need to do that anytime soon. Date: February 23, 2012
