### 3/5 — Getting Warm

*2026-07-21, version 6.0.1*

Some very good, others just weird. IMO, too many filter permutations are too similar.

### 3/5 — Die KI ist noch nicht perfekt.

*2026-06-26*

Es kommen immer wieder Bildfehler wie zb. 3 Beine, vermurkste Hände, verdrehte Körper vor. Die lokale KI sollte nochmals verbessert werden. Die Bilder sind dennoch sehr schön nach mehrmaligen Versuchen

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank dass du unsere App bewertet hast und das neuste Feature für BeCasso ausprobiert hast. Es freut uns, dass du sehr schöne Bilder erstellen kannst und wir arbeiten daran, die Fehlerrate zu reduzieren. Da die lokale KI leider immer wieder Fehler machen wird, werden wir probieren "Reparaturwerkzeuge" zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit denen du gezielt Probleme in den Bildern beheben kannst.

Danke noch einmal für deinen Review.

### 4/5 — Gute App aber

*2026-06-01*

Die App habe ich seit Jahren - aber die Anzeige des letzten Projektes immer an der Oberfläche ohne die Möglichkeit es zu löschen nervt extrem - bitte ändern

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback. Wir haben dir bezüglich dem Thema bereits eine E-Mail geschickt. Kannst du uns bitte via support@digitalmasterpieces.com wissen lassen ob du sie erhalten hast?

### 4/5 — Super

*2026-05-12*

On fait de belles choses avec cette app  (même avec la version gratuite). Je n’ai plus assez de place sur mon i phone 12 pour mettre quoi que ce soit à jour aussi j’espère que je pourrai toujours utiliser Be Casso …

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup d'avoir pris le temps d'évaluer notre application. Nous espérons également que votre iPhone disposera de suffisamment d'espace pour vous permettre de continuer à créer vos œuvres avec notre application.

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2026-04-09, version 5.0.1*

Seems like you should have improved a bit by now

### 5/5 — Awesome App with Amazing Capabilities

*2026-03-11*

Hats off to the Team for making such a great App… All tools and parameters can be adjusted manually to get the desired result, which isn’t possible in the image generated by AI.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for the excellent rating and your very kind words. We are very happy that you value our approach to give users control over the creative creation process. 

Thanks again for taking your time to write a review for our app.

### 3/5 — Subscriptions

*2026-02-07, version 4.8.3*

While it offers some quick and artistic edits that are nice, there is know way it’s worth a subscription fee for what is a one a done type of app.

### 4/5 — Love it but some bugs

*2026-01-29, version 4.8.3*

I love it but keeps freezing after 2-3 pictures I pay for a subscription but thinking about canceling cause it keeps freezing

### 5/5 — This is such an awesome app!

*2026-01-26, version 4.8.3*

I used to be a part of BeCasso & decided to rejoin. I love being able to make more beautiful memories

### 5/5 — Ludique et performant ouvert à créativité

*2026-01-02*

Ludique et performant amélioration cependant à prévoir sur retouche. Bravo

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup d'avoir rédigé un avis sur notre application. Nous sommes ravis que vous appréciez BeCasso et qu'elle stimule votre créativité.

Puisque vous avez mentionné des améliorations, nous vous serions reconnaissants de nous contacter à l'adresse support@digitalmasterpieces.com afin d'en savoir plus à ce sujet.

Encore un grand merci pour votre temps.

### 3/5 — Constantly have to sign back in to restore purchase which is becoming a deterrent

*2026-01-02, version 4.8.3*

If my purchased upgrade didn’t require me to sign in to "restore purchase" every time I use the app it would be a wonderful tool. Other than this constant glitch it is very well conceived, with a wide range of options to customize art creations.

### 5/5 — Jepetto

*2026-01-01*

Très bonne application

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup d'avoir évalué notre application et d'avoir pris le temps de rédiger un avis sur BeCasso. Nous vous en sommes très reconnaissants.

Merci encore pour votre soutien.

### 2/5 — Price doubled!

*2025-12-31, version 4.8.3*

Love this app, but it was around $3 a month and has now jumped to $8!!! What the heck?

### 5/5 — Had it For Years and . .

*2025-12-14, version 4.8.1*

It just gets better and better, for my line of Graphics, its perfect - give it a go!

I needed some help on some of the new features and contacted the Support Team - Well they are next level - I have never had such good support ever before!

Well done Team BeCasso!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-12-11, version 4.8.1*

Great artists tool. Extremely useful and fast rendering. I use it everyday.

### 1/5 — Added GenAI slop

*2026-06-30, version 6.0.1*

GenAI is trained on stolen or dubiously-obtained materials and I am disgusted by this addition. The filters aren't good enough for me to keep this on my phone.

### 1/5 — Первое впечатление

*2026-06-28*

Скачал приложение, что хочется сказать, собственно как и везде на каждой мелочи хотят заработать бабла. Скачать без водяного знака, плати, добавить качество плати и плати, плати и плати. Одна звезда за это. Можно было бы минус звезду ставить, поставил бы.

**Developer response:** Нам жаль слышать, что вы недовольны тем, как мы распределили бесплатные и платные функции в нашем приложении. Некоторое время назад мы решили сделать основные возможности BeCasso бесплатными. В то же время нам необходимо получать доход, чтобы оплачивать работу команды и обеспечивать дальнейшее развитие приложения.

Найти баланс между бесплатными и платными функциями — всегда непростая задача, и, судя по всему, в вашем случае нам не удалось найти оптимальное решение.

Еще раз спасибо за ваш отзыв; нам жаль, что приложение в его нынешнем виде вам не подошло.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2026-06-02, version 5.0.3*

It’s extremely frustrating to pay for an app that most often refuses to load my saved presets. There’s no trick to it. Sometimes it works, usually it doesn’t. Genuinely wondering why this hasnt been fixed yet. For YEARS I’ve used this app. It shouldn’t still be happening.

### 1/5 — not worth one thin dime

*2026-02-05, version 4.8.3*

I waited five minutes and finally gave up .  Tried it again, it's just sitting and spinning............waited ten minutes (went and got a snack etc) and still spinning...........

### 1/5 — Keeps shutting down

*2026-01-24, version 4.8.3*

Latest version shuts down no matter what you’re working on. Used to be quite stable, but recent revisions get worse.

### 1/5 — Upgrade

*2025-10-20, version 4.7.1*

Monthly fee, really?

### 1/5 — Locks me out of subscription 30-50% of time

*2025-10-17, version 4.7.1*

The paid subscription is intermittent- unacceptable in any situation

### 1/5 — doesn't work

*2025-08-28, version 4.5.1*

I tried tree times...First i thought the file I used was too big...so I tried a smaller file...and even smaller.
Every time I waited...up to 30 minutes and nothing but a little circle moving at the center of my picture.
Waste of time

### 1/5 — Watermark

*2025-05-31, version 4.4.2*

This was a great app, until they added the watermark. Not worth paying for now.

### 1/5 — A scam

*2025-04-16, version 4.4.0*

You buy the app as it says a one time purchase. Then you pay and continue it and it wants you to pay for "premium" to get art without the watermarks. Test another acammy low life company.

### 5/5 — Best

*2026-07-19, version 6.0.1*

Best photo app I have.   My go to!

### 5/5 — Best App for Painting

*2026-07-19, version 6.0.1*

I use this app to help me with painting on canvas. After I take a photo that I want to paint, I use the watercolor or the oil paint modes to distort the picture so I can see it blended together in order to create an abstract painting look to help me understand the lights & darks and different hues

### 5/5 — Freedom

*2026-07-16, version 6.0.1*

This allows me to expand

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-14, version 6.0.1*

I’ve loved this app for years and many things have improved over the years. Over time, access to some features has been rescinded, becoming paid only, but I still appreciate it being offered. I wish they would add a favorites designation so I could store the edits I use most often. Thanks for a very useful app.

### 5/5 — Morning walk

*2026-06-25, version 6.0.0*

Love this site😀

### 5/5 — Yes sir Ree Bob it’s lots of fun😎

*2026-06-16, version 5.0.3*

### 5/5 — Photos

*2026-06-10, version 5.0.3*

So much fun to create different looks

### 5/5 — Holy Grail a real game changer

*2026-05-14, version 5.0.3*

Love this app

### 5/5 — Morning walk

*2026-04-22, version 5.0.2*

Love this site😀

### 5/5 — Exceptionnel

*2026-03-21*

Je paye volontiers un abonnement au vu de la qualité du logiciel, de ses possibilités, outils, du rendu, c’est juste exceptionnel. Un très très grand merci aux développeurs et à tous ceux qui œuvrent chaque jours pour le maintien de cette application qui a totalement relancé ma créativité. Disponible sur Mac, et ça c’est un énorme (vraiment énorme) plus. Merci 🙏🏻⭐️

**Developer response:** Merci infiniment pour vos gentils mots. Nous sommes ravis que notre application ait pu raviver votre créativité. Notre objectif principal est de fournir un outil facile à utiliser pour stimuler la créativité de nos utilisateurs et les aider à la mettre en œuvre de manière ludique et efficace, et nous sommes heureux d'y être parvenus.

Merci encore pour vos gentils mots et d'avoir pris le temps de rédiger cet avis.
