Quark DesignPad is a unique iPad app that puts grid-based design control in the palm of your hand. Using an entirely new approach to design, you can quickly experiment with different layouts and create anything ...
Great idea but it crashes left and right It is very annoying Please fix it              Crashes left and right
As a veteran Quark user I was excited to get the app Originally I had a bad experience with it crashing But after some email exchange with tech support reinstall required It now works as expected You should not view this app as replacement for a desktop app But rather a supplement and in some cases it could handle very easily a simple project But for brainstorming comps or wireframes its brilliant I would have expected Adobe to produce something like this But instead they Adobe killed their only star in this spaceAdode Proto Im a UXUI Designer and use the iPad and iPhone heavily to mock ideas up And this app is definitely worth buying It does a whole lot My only wish so far is text wrapping Where is it           Nice upgrade but missing text wrapping
The templates are OK however the program offers very limited options to share your work through dropbox or to use other style options It would be nice to be able to copy and paste the layout and not have the quark logo pasted automatically with it For a free app I didnt have much of a problem deleting it though Nice try needs work though     limited transferability
Ugh the worst Keeps crashing and not at all user friendly     Terrible
But it wont even bring up the type editor so I can select a different typeface as advertised Also when I rotate an image it doesnt let me resize the image box I even paid for the extra features and this app feels like it still needs further development and additional testing its very buggy at the moment I sincerely hope it improves because I love Quark and have used XPress since the 90s Using this app on iPad 3        I wanted to like this app so much
There is No option to start from a blank page or delete template items Cant control the size or position of the template items on the page Why Who needs those templates anyway Untill its fixed its useless     No option to start from blank
When you get it by the reviews you thing cool but its not as good as they say it is and it take an hour just to make a business card     Dont like it
Tried test document and emailed When I went to open it defaulted to QXP 80 even though Im using QXP 9 Guess it s time for me to trash the old QXP Unable to move pictures When you export Doesnt embed pics Should be able to insert pics from Aperture library but can not Would be great if it worked more like pages in the cloud Will not throw away yet Quark will improve        Not ready for prime time
Dropbox export with pro upgrade doesnt work Just hangs there without making progress Email PDF export is not usable File is embedded in an inaccessible way I have an iPad1 if that makes a difference        Needs work
Downloaded and learning this new app with a simple business card with one image and one text field A weird thing is happening I inserted an image into the box tried to resize it and the box marched off the layout and right off the screen I closed the document and reopened it the image is vanished Pixel by pixel it moved to the left I selected the text box and it started marching off the page too Oh darn Why did I pay the 10 upgrade without testing it out first     Marching off the page
Very capable design tool for folks who want something that exceeds the layout ability of Apples Pages I was underwhelmed that so much of this app is still lacking support for retina displays Maybe someday soon              Excellent touch screen design tool but lacks retina support
The app will not load All I get is a black screen Thanks Kerry     App
Needs some work but overall is kind of cool           Cool
Love this app but its lacking the resolution Its so easy to design what I want But when it comes to printing it off its so blurry Please fix this           Needs a resolution setter
I have downloaded and deleted a lot of apps looking for something that I can add a caption to some pictures This does that and more much more I saw some comments by art designers on the Mac world page talking about how mad they were that this app is out and would cost them business                 Best I have found
To start this app is much much better than the average rating of 1 12 stars Dont forget that you are working on an iPad It is not going to be what you are used to keyboard and mouse style I have the 10 IAP paid version which was very much worth it in my opinion I have made basic business cards and flyers on the go with DesignPad Paired with Adobes PS Touch it truly is a great tool The font options the ease of scaling graphics the built in images though not the best but still great in a bind or time restrained job and the over all ease of use seem to be overlooked or judged incorrectly I have never had the app crash Exporting PDFs to Dropbox works great I am using an iPad 4 and have no performance complaints In fact I honestly have no complaints what so ever I do not see this as a replacement to my desktop setup that I use at work for graphic design I see this app as the only viable solution on the App Store for any on the go brainstorming or for a job that squires minimal resources All in all the 10 upgrade is worth it The app does perform well and is by far the best mobile solution out there I wrote this review because I do not feel this app deserves the rating that it has Hopefully this is helpful to anyone interested                 Best on the go design tool Not sure why there are all the negative reviews
Had an entire 10page newsletter ready to export and the app froze Had to redesign one page at a time save dump the app then reinstall it for each page Horrible I used on my old iPad for a year no problem this happened on my new one Get your actapp together PLEASE     Crash
Consistent crashes are normal simple instability is the problem with this app              I like it
Was this app tested It lags as other reviewers said Plus it only has one level of undo ONE One level of undo How can you have a graphic design program with only one undo It frequently will not let you touch and drag text or picture boxes so you are forced to use a joystickstyle pixel at a time moverargh It also saves PDFs exactly what the screen looks like so if you have any guidelines or highlighted text it saves it that way instead of asking you if you want to include the backgroundI dont want guidelines however it has this bad habit of lighting up boxes even if I tap outside the work space Oh and the workspace is no bigger than your Ipad screen so if you want to put boxes and photos around the page and play with things you cant really because it is all cluttered It would be good to have a really large workspace so I could experiment on screen It would be good of course if I could actually move those boxes around but as I mentioned above its hit or miss Also if you close the file it saves it It doesnt ask you if you want to save it just does it But as we all know sometimes you dont want something saved because you made a mistake touched an element and moved it accidentally or what to save a few versions etc With only one level of undo you better hope that when you hit done you really are done Several times with this app I didnt want to saveI wanted to revert to the original because the text box changedhowever with one undo I couldnt If all of this stuff and more gets fixed its worth 10 How about having rulers How about the text chain function so you can link two text boxes together and have two columns of text be balanced in terms of spacing a font size Right now it feels really unfinished I have already done two projects for work on the app so I have used it for about 5 hours total I could have done all of this in Idraw in less time but with some tradeoffs in controlmaybe I should go back to Idraw Clients didnt know I was using Idrawthey just liked the resultsI liked the ease of use     Not ready for prime time
Was going greattill I had 6 pages under the same title andcrashed will not open the file now        Crashes
When trying to send my document the arrow at top right does not work Help please           Owner
Other than Apple Pages I am unaware of any page layout apps for iPad I have used the desktop version of QuarkXPress since 1990 as well as all the other professional page layout applications and Quark is my favorite Though the iPad is capable of more than this app allows this app is a nice and simplified implementation of the desktop version The export Sharing options are extremely limited and frankly disappointing offering only either to email a PNG of your layout or a Quark document sans placed images hosted by Quark and downloadable via an emailed link Im not sure why PDF export is not an option or why the devs elected to hosting documents rather than allowing a direct wifi sync to a generated Quark document or why you cant save the PNG to the iPads photo library My guess is the devs dont want this app to complete with or replace the desktop version but whatever the reason it isnt the iPad that is stopping this app from functioning with most of the desktop applications functionality The app is free but Id personally rather pay a premium 30 or more for this app to offer more of the power and functionality of the desktop version As it stands this app is an accessory to the desktop version of QuarkXPress to sketch layout ideas and create a starting point but I know it could be so much more              A good start
I like the idea of beginning a layout on my iPad bummed that I traded in the original for the mini though Piddling with photos is a bit convoluted but it works as detailed just takes a bit getting used to I wish there were some text options such as adding Lorum Ipsum filler or Jabberwocky I can do without Klingon With the Pro Feature Pack there are a few expanded options but for the price Id expect quite a bit more adding videos or creating motion nevertheless Its a wonderful app              Missing a few simple and many advanced features
I created a new document only to see a dark QUARK watermark when preparing to email What use is this to menone Id rather pay for a useful app that doesnt slap a stamp on the file with no option for removal The stamp doesnt appear on the original image only after saving or preparing to share     Files Watermarked QUARK
Ive been a graphic designer for he last 15 years of my life Mostly designing for newspapers magazines you name it Its mind blowing to realize thanks to technology we could enjoy creating layouts using an intuitive app that could possibly save me countless hours while Im at the airport waiting for my flight or while sipping a mojito during my trip to the Virgin Islands I feel like theres no excuses anymore to be and feel creative I love how can I go from my iPad to my computer and finish 1015 tedious small jobs and be happy at the end of the day Thanks QuarkXpressfor life eduardo garcia                 Quark for life
For an iPad thingy it works well enough except it wontt let you print unless you pay the dollars and theres no indication beforehand     cash dollars
Hello developers Nice app too bad it barely works I was going to upgrade but with constant crashes and phantom changes to my documents I dont see a reason to give you my money Lets talk again when you can present a worthy update to this app with great potential     Get your act together
I love the idea But I cannot use the app It lags on a fresh start on my ipad running latest OS I cannot drag the boxes properly Hangs constantly Unusable     Great idea Horrible execution
I cant make pictures or writing boxes bigger or smaller        Help
This app seems like the exact thing Ive been looking for Im very happy with it so far It seems much easier to use than Pages The only drawback I have found so far is that you can only have one page in a project Not the end of the world but clearly its possible for multiple pages to be in a project Please add multiple page projects to the inapp purchase and youll have a sale from me for sure              Seems too good to be true but is
This program is a good idea and it will be interesting to see how it develops The current release doesnt understant the difference between Portrait and Landscape The buttons so labeled really mean This way and The other way My first custom size was for a landscape design When I select it it appears as a portrait document and remains so until I switch to Portrait mode at which point it becomes Landscape P Id like to see standard web screen sizes added Why not use Design Pad to get started on a web design           Interesting
Sorry but this release is so thoroughly underwhelming Still Ill give them a star for trying pretty much like in kindergarden Hope it will take less than 12 years for the app to finally mature     Epic Meh
I can create a nice looking layout in this app and it is easy to use until I try to share a layout I can share it once but after that the button does nothing at all for a revised layout a renamed layout or even a new layout I cannot find any support or troubleshooting for this app I worked on Quark XPress for years successfully and I purchased the Pro inapp I wish the share function worked properly because I could really use it for a lot of design work           Sharing not Working for me
It just keeps crashing And I was SO excited     So far I cant launch the app
Spent about 30 mins trying to navigate the app Too hard to figure out Not too user friendly     Not Easy To Use
Got to be the funniest game Ive ever played Im already a high level if they can just fix the boosting problem with noobs it can be so much better                 Best app ever
Why make a layout app that does everything with sliders on a touchscreen Just a simple draw a box flow in dummy text over columns would be better I couldnt even delete anything Weird        Backwards
It may be fun to play with on iPad but to modify or print the file after transferring downloading from a link you will need the current Quark Xpress version 9 I couldnt open it with version 7        To use on computer requires Quark Xpress v9
I needed this app for an urgent project so I bought the pro pack to send pdfs and change layout while editing a document BUT the app doesnt recognize that I bought the pro pack although it says so in iPad settings and crashes when I press the restore button There is no tech support other than a forum that no ones responds to and if you try to get tech support over the phone you need to purchase a support ticket that costs double the price of the app An absolute disgrace SHAME ON YOU QUARK Im appalled I feel scammed     A disgrace from quark install pro pack and it crashes
Worked great to send it on Facebook but I paid the extra so that I could email the PDF Did not work even through drop box I would like my money back        Not happy
As a QuarkXpress user since 1989 yeah Im that old and a professional art director who stuck with it and upgraded each version and even installed the latest Quark 10 on my brand new highend Mac Pro the sad truth is Quark as a company spends no time fixing bugs or responding to its user base This lame attempt at making a mobile app for iPad is a perfect example of how lousy their tech people are now at making their software relevant much less useable I used to love Quark but now their software is absurdly buggy and a waste of time to try to use for anything remotely professional If you find the inexact clumsy GUI of this app useful good luck     Worthless
PS You guys might want to take a look at the old Adobe Proto app The interface was more gesture driven This might help in simplifying what you have now Dont think Desktop Version 2 Still no text box linking Huh Really Apples Pages is still the better app Come on guys This is an app for designers yet the app itself is poorly designed        Terrible UI
Im really enjoying this so far Intuitive and fun When I want to whip up a quick design for someone at a meeting I think this will work well Thanks Quark gang                 A great start
I bought the pro version of DP months ago before ios7 and I wrote about how it had many crash failures I had high hopes for the post7 version but it still crashes In two days it lost one document yesterday so I went to create the new doc and it wont open but instead crashed Every time I have tried to open the new doc the app crashes It crashed so badly I had to do a hard reboot of my iPad2 I really want this app to work since it is very handy for a number of small projects I do which is why I gave a twostar rating It looks great and when working is fun and the new 7 is more functional but the crashes kill it        I love the idea but this app stinks
I wanted to find this app useful Unfortunately it does not support documents longer than one page     Only one page
This app really needs fixing it loves to crash on me and the most annoying problem is that when you type yu cant see what youre typing therefore its almost impossible to type correctly     Horrible
Can I make flyers           Can you help me out
Review Good                 App
It runs so slowly and lags a ton Its very aggrivating and time consuming because it is not very userfriendly even after iOS7 and a restart on my iPad     Love the idea hate the app
I thought I was getting a program that I could design text and use tabs with You have create separate text boxes for everything you do You cannot setup tabs an select separate text in a text box to be bold To me a graphics design program you should be use one text box to create all your text in Not have use the space bar to set up your text Even after upgrading to the pro is not worth the money I do more in pages than I do this app You should be able use the text boxes the same way you do on your computer I will stick with Adobe Indesign and pages than trying work in this program They will have to do a lot major work before I use this program again     Not what think a graphics design program should do
