We brought out a major update for ArtRage for iPad in late 2015. The 2.0 update added new features, improved the performance and changed the way the gallery looks and works. It also changed the appearance of some of the tools and menus and moved a few features. Tutorials showing the features of version 1.6 will still apply to version 2.0 – all the tools still work the same way – but some things will look different, and there will be additional features in 2.0. If you are using OS7 or earlier, you will still be using version 1.6. If you are using iOS8 or later, then download the latest version from the App Store to update.
