Boosting a product’s sales by either cutting down its price or adding new features is popular. But doing both these seem a little weird. Inspire Pro 1.3 has just taken that step and the result, whatever it may be, is inevitable. Speaking from the consumer point of view, now a great app is available for a very cheap price. And yes, the price has been slashed from $7.99 to a mere $0.99.

The added features include the support for the latest iPad’s Retina display. With a faster rendering engine, this app now has what it needs to make an artist’s imagination come to life.

The latest version named Inspire Pro 1.3 has better brushes and two new high-resolution canvas sizes that are compatible with iPad’s unique screen. The price cut, however, is valid for a limited time only.

With the Inspire Pro, the drawn paintings can be organized as a gallery and the 8 quick shortcuts (called the hotspots) aid the user heavily in manipulating the painting quite easily.

There are a lot of brushes available and with this app; the load of paint in the brush swipe can also be controlled.

With excellent color blending capabilities, the only defect that one can have with this app is the absence of layers. This is a necessary thing for every digital painting and somehow, the developers seem to miss it.

In short, this app is by far the coolest painting app available for iPad and for $0.99, it is definitely a must buy.
