What we're really asking for
We can find crashes ourselves. What we can't get without you is the artist's reaction — how it feels to draw with MangaLoft. As you use it, notice:
- Where did you hesitate? Anywhere you weren't sure what to tap or how to do something.
- What felt wrong or slow? Laggy pen, awkward gesture, a tool that fought you.
- What did you expect that wasn't there? A shortcut, a tool, an option you reached for.
- What made you smile? The good parts matter too — tell us what to protect.
Rough, honest, half-formed thoughts are perfect. You don't need to be thorough or "test" it — just draw, and tell us how it went.
How to send feedback
- Best: post in Discord — quick reactions, screenshots, questions.
- In-app bug: you can also use TestFlight → Send Feedback (it attaches a screenshot).
When something goes wrong, a quick note like this helps a lot:
- Device & OS (e.g. "iPad Pro 11″, iPadOS [x]" or "MacBook Air, macOS [x]").
- What you were doing when it happened.
- What you expected vs. what happened.
- A screenshot or screen recording if you can (crop out any private artwork you'd rather not share).
Label it [bug] or [feel/usability] so we know which hat to wear. Both are welcome.
Three guided tasks
These walk the real workflow so your feedback is grounded in actually making something — and so different testers exercise the same paths. After each, jot the reflection prompts.
Task 1 — Your first page (≈5 min)
- Create a new document (any paper size).
- Draw a rough sketch of anything — a face, a prop, a scribble.
- Add a new layer and ink over the rough on it.
- Undo/redo a few strokes (⌘Z / ⌘⇧Z on Mac, or the Undo/Redo buttons in the toolbar on iPad).
Reflect: Did drawing feel natural (pen weight, lag, undo)? Was adding/using a layer obvious?
Task 2 — A panel page (≈10 min)
- Use the frame tool to create a panel, then split it into 2–3 panels.
- In Drawing mode, tap a panel and draw inside it.
- Add a screentone to one panel (pick a family, draw a region).
- Add a line of text/lettering somewhere on the page.
Reflect: Was making panels intuitive? Did tap-to-draw-in-a-panel make sense? How was placing a tone and text — did anything surprise you?
Task 3 — Finish & export (≈5 min)
- Export the page you made.
- Try both Bounds options — "For Print" and "For Display" — and open each result.
Reflect: Were the export options clear? Did "For Print" vs "For Display" mean what you expected? Was the output what you wanted?
Optional stretch
Add a second page; try the path (bezier) tool and the ruler; copy/paste between pages or documents. Tell us anything that felt missing for your way of working.
One ask
Don't run our QA for us — we're not looking for an exhaustive bug list. We want your reaction as an artist: what you'd want fixed, what you'd want more of, and whether you'd reach for MangaLoft again. That's the feedback that shapes where this goes.
Thank you.
