Very unprofessional and not worth using. ### 1/5 — Artista Impresso *2018-07-01, version 1.3.28* Was really excited about this app. Sadly it won’t let me save the finished photo to my photo library. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2018-07-01, version 1.3.28* Does not work at all. Crashes every time and you loose your work. I have not been able to finish one image. ### 1/5 — Presets? *2017-12-22, version 1.3.20* Had to downgrade my rating. Where did the presets go? Please fix. ### 1/5 — Update seems to have removed key feature... *2017-09-17, version 1.3.12* I "updated" the app I've had and loved for years. Where did the presets go? Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Not worth the price *2017-07-05, version 1.3.12* I am very disappointed with this app. Doesn't come with the presets you need to make edits. Don't waste your money! ### 1/5 — Crashes after white screen *2015-03-18, version 1.3.1* This app doesn't work on my iPhone 5s 64g. When a photo is loaded, it takes forever for the app to render, the render icon is moving then a blank white screen appears then the app crashes. It's been deleted, phone rebooted, and the app reinstalled several times to no avail. I've written to the developers and hopefully this bug will get fixed soon. I can't really review this app as I cannot get it to work. If they fix this then I'll hopefully be able to change my review. Otherwise I just thew my money at them as this is a broken app. ### 1/5 — Malo *2015-03-09, version 1.3.1* Comparado con 'painteresque', se queda a la altura la suela de los zapatos. Borrado. ### 1/5 — Surprisingly poor *2015-02-07* The results just look like a blurry version of the original with a colour shift - no real evidence of any brush strokes. There are far better painting simulation apps available. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-12, version 1.3.74* I spent quite a lot of time trying out similar apps, but didn’t find what I wanted. This one didn’t have many reviews…so I passed over it at first, but then decided to try it out because of the low price. I’ve been amazed at the ease of creating really beautiful versions of my photos. You have very precise control over the effects…and you can create a final product that actually looks like a painting. This truly outperforms the more expensive apps, and I think I looked at about all of them in the apple App Store. Give it a try….you’ll be very pleased. ### 5/5 — Super *2024-11-10, version 1.3.59* 👌 ### 5/5 — Thanks for the update and beautiful application *2024-02-25, version 1.3.59* All applications from this developer are excellent. I want to say thank for your hardworking. With Kindest Regards-BR ### 5/5 — So Happy *2024-02-03* So Happy I found this app perfect give it 10+ ### 5/5 — Switch photo to realistic painting *2022-12-27* Wow love this - I have been asked who painted my dog’s portrait and takes minutes well worth it ### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant *2021-12-27* No end of scope. Essential app ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-09-07* Simple to use with several control options with really nice options. Little thing: UI size not adapted to larger phone displays, but not too disturbing. ### 5/5 — 素晴らしい *2021-09-07* いいな～ ### 5/5 — LISTEN TO ME... *2021-03-23, version 1.3.52* I have HUNDREDS of art apps. ANYTHING BY JIXIPIX IS FANTASTIC. I buy them as fast as they develop them. I have had so many compliments on their enhanced software, I feel guilty taking the credit for this developers photo apps! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-08-14, version 1.3.49* Enjoy working with the app, images are amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
