Hey! I’m a big fan of this app, it’s amazing! I have been using it for a while without any problems. However, I think in the last update, I haven’t been able to get a reference image imported nor used. Where the reference image settings used to be, now it says “Enabled” and even though it has a checkbox I cannot activate it. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks for the help!

It’s a bug in the latest version. There’s a workaround in this thread:

> I’m likely just missing where to find it, but where is the import/delete option for the background reference images in the new build?

You need to drop the pic in background image folder. In IOS via split menu.

Use the native “Files” app from the iPad.  
SImply drop your references in the `Nomad/backgrounds` folder, then restart Nomad.

The fix is coming soon anyway, just waiting for Apple review process.

Split view helps. After, you need to close Nomad and reopen.
