  • Easy to use!

    Well priced add ons and super easy to use!

    As a social media manager and lifelong visual artist, I love having this in my pocket as a way to make high quality graphics anytime, anywhere. I’ve been consistently impressed with each update bringing new + useful tools to the app. This would be the only app I’d need for making images on my phone if it brought in a stretch/ skew ability and the option to import other files from the device as layers or as object colorfill. I use this app constantly!

  • It’s a lovely app

    I enjoy using it and I love the current features. However I wish there were more editing options, such as adding shadows to your text and being able to manipulate it. The same can be said for the text itself. Blending options would be great as well. But overall it works beautifully with what it has.

  • Awesome Start!

    I love A Design Kit! I think you guys really nailed what you were trying to do with A Beautiful Mess app back in the day, and in a time when people are ready for it! The brush design color options are super cool, I love the backgrounds option, and the story crop size really nailed it! Just what I’ve been looking for to really take the stories function on instagram to another level. I also love the back and forth functionality with A Color Story! It could be a little smoother but it’s worked fine for me so far, just have to be a little patient.

    I do think it would be very cool if you could save your drawing as a sticker for future use, kind of like the filter save function on A Color Story, but like I said overall this is an awesome addition to my photo editing app collection! Thanks!

    Update: thank you for listening to your users and adding so many useful updates! I especially love the duplication button!!!

    Super easy to use, great range of backgrounds, text and editing tools! Love using it for my Instagram posts 👌
  • I’m not sure about this.

    Tbh I don’t think this should be a separate app from A Color Story. The toggling back and forth is bad. I like this app but never use it because I mostly use text on photos for Instagram stories and this is too cumbersome to open just for stories. Especially since IG stories has several different fonts and backgrounds now. The fonts and backgrounds in A Design Kit are better but i honestly don’t feel like switching over apps from IG to A Design Kit so I mostly skip it.

    Also, the cropping for IG stories is wrong. It doesn’t work. It looks right on the front page of the app and then when you click through to actually add text, it is the wrong size for a story. If I put text too close to the edges it doesn’t show up on IG stories unless I resize the photo to only take up a small portion of the page. Basically it crops too short and wide for IG stories, at least on an iPhone 7+.

    I also think there should be way more background and font options.

    Developer Response

    Hi there! Totally fair that not everyone will want to take the time to create a story in another app if they're satisfied with the IG story options. But for those who want something extra, we've got you covered! As far as the crop, the default crop of our backgrounds is 3x4 like iPhone photos, so you'll need to choose the story crop to make sure it fits stories correctly. That said, we totally agree our cropping options need to be more noticeable, so we're going to make an improvement there. Be on the lookout for that as well as more fonts and backgrounds! If you have any other concerns, please reach out at hello@acolorstory.com. Thanks for supporting the app!
  • Fantastic! Absolutely love it

    Such a great app. Wish there for more font options though.
  • I like it

    I think A Color Story is really on top of the Instagram feed goal thing. Their filters are really cool. This sidekick of an app is really a great little addition to their apps. A Color Story has a good eye on trend forecasting with their party of apps. One thing though, I wish it wasn't directly targeting a female audience. The stickers are not really usable because I am a guy but I like the backgrounds. The silver and gold backgrounds are my favorite. Guys like color and if you made some filters and stickers geared at guys, I would love your apps. Still a great suite. I have Been using your paint splashed stickers and metallic backgrounds like crazy. Come out with a set of filters for guys. I'll be the creative director if you want.....lol

  • Best design app ever!

    Soo easy to use - incredible features without the “why would they make it like this?!” moments!!
  • Magical!

    So simple to get the hang of & will definitely up my instagram game! I love the stickers, and all the writing tools are to die for. Its so worth the very small cost & the occasional in app purchase. I’m so excited to use this app more.
