Is there any hope for Rebelle for iPad?

I know it's probably been posted about before, but I'd really like to reiterate the desire for an iPad version of Rebelle. I've recently been doing a lot more digital art on mine as I've been unable to access my PC as much, and I miss Rebelle terribly. The niche that Rebelle occupies really doesn't have any viable iOS alternatives at the moment. I genuinely feel like there'd be a huge surge of popularity for it if it became more widely available, since iPads for digital art are so common nowadays! That all being said, I do understand, of course, that it'd be a lot of work to make a version of Rebelle that would be compatible with iOS (not even considering all the various tweaks that might be needed on the performance front) so it's absolutely easier said than done... but I thought I'd voice my hopes, even so, on the small chance that something like it would be possible in future!

Hi [USER=241405]@amirdrassil[/USER] , At the moment, the desktop version of the software is compatible with Windows and macOS only. We plan to release an iOS version (for iPads) of Rebelle in the future. Development is already underway, but it’s a significant undertaking, and we still have a long road ahead. I’m not able to estimate when it will be ready just yet. Many of our users use the iPad with our software - they connect it as a tablet device to their computers. Please refer to this forum post, as it might be helpful for the setup: [URL]https://www.escapemotions.com/community/forum/t/602/paint-with-your-ipad-in-rebelle-works-on-pc-and-mac[/URL]

I really can't wait for an iPad version -- I'm more and more excited to be able to paint away from my desk, wherever I want to. It's so much better for my mental health and for doing studies. I'm curious, Veronika, I know it's early stages, but are the bristle brushes intended to be included in the eventual iPad version? Or will it be a bit more rudimentary than that? (Just interested in hints of what we can expect.)

Thank you for the response, Veronika! That makes me really, really happy to hear. I'll happily wait as long as it takes, and in the meantime, I'll investigate the workarounds in the linked thread!!

[QUOTE="amirdrassil, post: 32144, member: 241405"] Thank you for the response, Veronika! That makes me really, really happy to hear.

Like to say this Post is somewhat old, so look care fully on theire Website. There was a Version which works via Cable which was a one time fee. Here yet some similar Apps for iOS not in league of Rebelle. But worth to look at. Art Set Pro 4 Realistic Paint Studio Zen Brush 3 ( in the Region of Watercolor)

Rebelle for iPad would be, by far, the best drawing app.
