Overall, Intaglio Sketchpad is a pretty great app. Although it may seem like a petty detail, you would be surprised how annoying scrolling can get because of the zoom feature which also uses two fingers to work. Second, two finger scrolling on the canvas can be a bit of a drag. Luckily there is a lite version, so you can try before you buy. Although the quality of the app fits the price there are many cheaper alternatives that are out there. Unfortunately this app has two disadvantages. Among these is an svg which is a standard for vector drawing apps on the desktop, this allows for two way editing with apps such as Illustrator or the Intaglio Mac App. One big advantage of this app is the variety of formats it can export your creations into. There is support for smart guides and layers and it can even do clipping masks. It can also be set to different unit scales (inches, px, feet, etc.). Intaglio Sketchpad can do standard things like draw shapes such as circles, lines and a variety of polygons. With an interface that is nearly identical to the iWork apps for the iPad, this app truly illustrates the meaning of usability. Intaglio Sketchpad is one of those apps that just works. That being said, one thing that I would like to see added is the ability to change unit scales (inches, px, feet, etc.), but other than that, it is near perfect, and at $2 you truly can’t go wrong. Overall, Inkpad is the app to get if you are looking for a vector drawing app. Finally, after you are done with your drawing, you can export it to Dropbox. Now of course, other apps have some of these features as well, but the ease of accessing the listed functions is easier in Inkpad than in any competing app. The app also has the best implementation of layers that I have seen on the iPad. Here you can group objects, align them to a location on the canvas, flip objects around, and mask objects. However, the real story here is how Inkpad manipulates what you add to the canvas. Inkpad has the ability to draw vectors, add anchor points to vectors, add shapes and pictures, and even has a dropper tool. It has many of the same functions as Adobe's offering. Inkpad truly feels like an Adobe Illustrator Lite. Inkpad is one of those apps that makes you say, “Wow, why can’t all apps be this well thought out?” Being a recent addition to the vector drawing app party, Inkpad has much to offer in the functionality and UI department.
