I purchased the wrong Art Set

Dear developers,
I wanted to purchase Art Set 4 but I seem to purchase Art Set for £2.99.

Any chance this can be rectified so I can purchase Art Set 4 instead.

Great for the little ones!

This is a seriously awesome purchase! I’m able to pop this older app open it for the grandkids when they want to ‘make art’ too! They feel all grown up using G’ma’s art app! Little do they know…

IGNORE NEG REVIEWS

All those problems are fixed now. I have photoshop, Procreate,
Concepts and more. I’m a painter on canvas. I’ve been playing with Art my whole life, and that’s been a long time. What I love about Art Set is the simplicity. Sometimes you get an idea, and you want to paint, draw, it up quick. THERE IS NO OTHER APP LIKE THIS. I love that there is a realistic picture of a all your art tools. The pastel works like a real pastel. They have everything you need. Oil paint, colored pencils.pastels, ink. What is so awesome about art set is it’s simple it doesn’t have hundreds of different brushes you don’t need to. I want to thank ART SET for coming up with this app, that just makes sense to a fine artist.

Original Advanced App Was Grreat

Just when I thought digital art couldn’t get more complicated, these guys exceeded any expectations with their upgraded app that replaced ArtSet 4…they could have left well enough alone, but nooooo, they had to turn artistic creation into a thrill ride inside some programmers’ minds. Just return the ArtSet 4!

I want a refund.

I got this app expecting it to at least be semi decent since you have to pay for it, but boy was I wrong. There is only a few different brushes you can use and barely any colours. There’s not even a layer button. It’s also super glitchy with my Apple Pencil and the pencil brush straight up doesn’t work with it. Idk why these reviews are all good but please, save the money. Also, if you’re looking for a good app, Procreate is a few more dollars but it’s definitely worth it. Coming from procreate to this app just feels like a joke.

Great app

had this originally on my first iPad now have it again such a good app, I use it for fun you don’t have to be an artist to enjoy this

Nice but buggy

This promised to be a fine introduction to art with the Apple Pencil. My kids and wife love using the Pencil and this app, and we've all spent a good amount of time doodling, smudging and scrubbing away at the screen - often with some pleasingly convincing results. But on the iPad Pro I am sad to report that it is a buggy mess.

The app routinely crashes when you simply switch to it. It will regularly leave you staring at a spinning wheel while presumably doing something very complex and important in the background.

Opening old documents randomly gives write errors where the image in question is left in some weird limbo where the only thing you can do is delete it. Worse still is the confusing "Could not open: Could not close the currently open document" modal errors which cannot be dismissed (or, rather, you *can* dismiss them, only for them to immediately reappear).

No, sorry, I'm not paying to unlock this. As much as I would like to.

Authentic

Gives you a chance to work with most mediums without the mess and expense.

A joy to use

Art Set is the most intuitive drawing and painting app I have used so far. I have tried quite a few drawing apps on my iPad, and this is the one I always come back to. It is simple to use and the drawing and painting tools feel like their real counterparts.

Refund please

Nothing like the original

Not Happy - Looks Good But Doesn’t Deliver

Not sure if its the iPad Pro causing the problem but nothing seems to work as expected. First and foremost cannot get out of portrait so as a landscape artist it is a non runner. I’m not going to even look at Art set4 and risk another wasted payment!

Nah

Waste of money

Don’t download this app

I have been a digital artist for 2 years. That doesn’t sound like a long time but since I am very young and don’t have a lot of money , I have searched for and downloaded many different art and animation related apps and by far I think this is the worst one I have ever used. My school had me download this app since it was supposed to be good and cheap. It was and still is horrible. I got marks taken off me because I used another FREE and BETTER app, but at that point I didn’t care there where so many functions that this app failed to have. And for a person that was used to better quality apps. I couldn’t create good art with it. Here are some basic digital art functions that this app lacks:
-layers
-brushes and materials(there where only 13 brushes and materials combined
-opacity of brushes and materials
-sizes of brushes and materials
-flat coloured background/canvases
-colour
-layering colours

I had attempted to layer colours but without having any control over the opacity of the tools the colour I had tried to layer on top completely covered the flat colouring on the bottom.
For colour I was very disappointed there where limited amount of colours and only 4 or 5 realistic human skin colours, most of those colours where darker ones too and the lightest skin colour named Tan was too dark as well. I like to layer my skin colours with lighter ones to make the skin colour I’m looking for so when I didn’t find any light colours or couldn’t layer them I had no choice but to use Tan. The colour choices also lack lighter or pastel colours and the lightest pink I could find was a hot pink. I like adding life and colour to the faces I draw by adding a lighter pink or coral colour on the cheeks and nose of the faces and since again I didn’t have control over the opacity and my only light pink was a hot pink, I didn’t add that step. I didn’t realise that there were other tools under the top 8 tools until I finished my third artwork and forgot about them in the making of my other artworks on this app. By “flat coloured background” I mean that most if not all of the canvases are textured and coloured and I understand that that is some people's preference but it would have been great if there where flat ones.
Here is what I think you should improve on the app:
-colour wheel / more colours
-more materials and brushes
-flat canvases
-make it free because it’s a waste of money if you don’t improve.
I have used at least 5 free apps that are better quality than this.

Art set app🎨🎨

I think that this app is really good once you get use to it. Although it is hard to rub out mistakes when u get used to it I bet it will be better. I think that this is a really good app because of all the different features although it would be really good if you could add more colours and skin tones because there is only one which is tan. Overall it is a really good app😀

Why can’t I transfer my work to my photos

The app won’t transfer my work to photographs ...tried using settings but still wont save .....waste of time and effort

What an Upgrade!!

I’ve been a heavy art app user for years, and Art Set has been among my top go-to apps. It’s personal and simple. Now that we have the pro version— OH MY GOSH~~~ What a tool! You can really do everything here in this intuitive app. I can’t wait to do get started on some new drawings/paintings. Thank you, developers!

waste of money

the only reason why i got this app was because the school required us to but other than that this is the most horrible art app. when u try and erase something the only option is one eraser which doesn’t even rub out properly but more like white paint covering it and it’s very obvious. and the Easter is very thin so it takes very long to rub out things and there’s no control area to change the thickness. 😑

Cooooooooool

#awsome

DO NOT GET

there are limited tools and you can’t even do layers. there is only one very pale skin tone in which they named ‘tan’. it’s VERY frustrating to use. you can get free apps that are professional, i suggest ‘paper’, ‘sketchbook’ or ‘adobe draw’.

P.S: i only put five stars so more people would see this.
