Let down by major auto save issues
This is a simple drawing app that lets you create high-quality artwork but there is a serious bug which causes significant problems sometimes. If you are choosing a new app, then I would strongly recommend not getting this despite the good features.
What happens is that sometimes auto save does not work so that when you exit the app you find that none of the changes have been applied. Several times are found that all the work of an extended working session had not been saved which can be imagined is incredibly frustrating. Since I’ve had to use the app for some work, I have been obliged to stop every few minutes to find out if it has saved which is not an ideal workflow.Show lessAnnaScheele
A good place to start
I already have more robust (albeit pricier) apps and I am not sure why I thought they would have the same features plus something else unattainable, but there’s really no need for this one as it doesn’t offer anything they don’t already offer.
If you are just starting out, this is a really good price for what it does do- for example you can use layers and adjust the brushes to make your own brushes. I’m just spoiled. A very decent app for this price point, however.Show lessspecialappssk
Love it!
Even though I still miss the original Brushes app (from 2009!) and love Brushes Redux, this version of Brushes is fantastic. I’m still working out setting up different brushes, but so far-it’s just so fast, intuitive and fun to use. Unlike some other painting app’s, Brushes 4 is not convoluted and painstaking to use. If you’re like me and just want to get working, and not fiddle around with endless boring steps to get there, then this app is for you. As an ex-graphic designer and current practising fine artist, I can honestly say, there is no other app out there that will give you that beautiful, unique and special ‘Brushes look’ that this app does do well. It truly is in a league of its own. *The only thing that needs fixing is the brush-size slider. It keeps jumping by default to a larger size setting-before you start to draw?’ Very frustrating! However, for less than a coffee to buy-it’s a steal in this day and age! No stupid subscription either. Welcome back Brushes. I’m sure David Hockney will be happy too.Show lessSummy64
Developer Response
Hi, thank you for such lovely feedback, that made our day. Regarding the brush size changing, each brush rememberers that size it was last used. So each time you change brushes you may see a size change. If that isn’t what you are experiencing, please get in touch by email and we’ll work it out.
