Terrible. Hard to use. Fiddly and not realistic looking results.
Why this has good reviews I don’t know
Wow! Unheard of accuracy!
The transformation is so accurate you can’t even tell it’s not real. This helped me remodel my entire home including bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms…amazing!
Charm me before you try to charge me
Another home design app in the endless list of the many. Who knows what they’re like when you can’t even try before you buy. Front page was frozen, couldn’t even browse.
Clunky
Videos make it look great, but it is not easy to use, glitchy, does not do what it says it should do.
Love this app for furniture makeovers
Feels like this app was made for me! I pick up pieces from the flea market and update them to fit my home and it’s so good for testing ideas. I paint lamps and vases with it too to try different designs!
Best furniture painting app
I tried this when I saw my friend post bristles mockups she made with her furniture in different wood stain and color combos. It’s actually pretty good. I designed two nightstands that looked completely different and painted them and added new feet and hardware to make them look like a matching set! You can do so much with this app and it’s fun!

We're so glad to hear you're having fun designing in the app! That's awesome that you were able to redesign nightstands into a matching set! How cool, thanks so much for sharing that with us. Feel free to email us at support@bristles.ai if you have any feedback or feature requests for us :)
New Updates to the App are amazing!
I’ve been using bristles as a furniture artist for a few years now and it has really helped not only with mock ups for commissioned pieces and sharing with clients, but also for seeing through my ideas before starting and staging before taking photos. I opted to leave a review because the newest update to the app unlocked so many new and helpful features I couldn’t keep my thoughts to myself. I became a brand ambassador overnight. There is now an undo button which saves so much time. I also do a lot of negative space design and the tape tool where you can either add or remove paint on specific layers really helps take my designs to the next level! The update also has paint suggestions and even a tool to help curate designs using ai if you want. I couldn’t imagine a better app for furniture design! Round of applause Bristles. You deserve an ovation!

Very Irritating
I tried and liked the app, so I paid for the yearly subscription. Works fine on my iPhone, but the problem: it used to stopped work on my iPad, but not anymore. And I need it to work on my iPad. The app launches… with white screen of death. So I can’t log on. I have rebooted, deleted and reinstalled, gone into settings, all of it and still it won’t work. If I can’t get it to work very soon, I’m canceling my subscription.

Hi there, we're sorry to hear you're having trouble with the app on your iPad. The app should work fine on iPhone and iPad and your projects should sync across both of your devices. Please reach out to us at support@bristles.ai and we'd be happy to help you troubleshoot.
Limited options -not a professional end look
Very few choices for hardware- paint option is subpar. Couldn’t even redesign my first project
Couldn’t even finish my first project - campaign dresser because they didn’t have this classic hardware.

Not easy to use
Hard to resize and get a natural fit. No thanks
Needs work
Expensive for what it is. Needs a lot of work. Not easy to navigate. When using multiple paint colors it is not easy. The AI generated ideas were awful. Great concept but disappointing experience
5 stars all the way around
I’m giving it 5 stars just because the customer service is beyond helpful! I sent them an email with a question cause I was clueless how to use the app and she not only emailed me back promptly but she made me my own tutorial to show me on YouTube of how to use it for my specific piece of furniture. I was amazed customer service like this exists!
I have plans to soon sit down when I have more free time and learn how to better use this app because it seems like it’s exactly what I needed to help with flipping furniture.
I also suggested something to her and it was in the next update!
If you have doubts on paying the subscription, don’t, it’s well worth it and if you don’t like something just message them and they will help or will fix it!

frustrating
Downloaded app, could not, Get code sent to log in
I wish it showed it was a pay to use app
I’m not upset you have to pay to use but I’m annoyed it doesn’t say anywhere you have to pay in order to use everything. The subscription monthly is 3.99 so it’s cheap but I wanted to see if the app was good to begin with but in order to know you have to pay or you cannot use it. I was just looking for a basic app that can help with reimagining furniture but I wasn’t looking for one I had to pay to imagine. Nothing wrong with wanting money for your app you put effort into designing. But let people know you have to pay to enter so they don’t have to waste time downloading.

Has potential but needs work
This app has a lot of potential, but in its current state it’s just super tedious to use. Painting in the lines if you want multi faceted colors is a pain, even w edge guard and taping. Copying assets one by one with multiple clicks is tedious, especially things like pole wrap are not easy to keep the exact same size. Not being able to get a good photo of other assets online to work w the app is frustrating because you can’t get rid of background. I really hope it gets better as I would try again for sure.

Please email us at support@bristles.ai and we'll make sure to send you an email when the updates are released!
Great, but non-workable on iPad
I love this app on my phone, and was excited to use it on my iPad to have more drawing flexibility. However, when I try to login on my iPad, there is a white screen that comes up, that I cannot click pass. It will not allow me to login.
Takes forever to load.
In my free trial it worked like a charm. Projects loaded quick, quick to get new ideas. Now that I’ve paid for the subscription it’s taking forever to load. So much so that I just give up & close the app and forget about it. I’m disappointed to say the least. Great app when it works…
Charged even though canceled Trial
You cannot contact customer support through the app, I’ve been looking for a program that does what I need and this is okay but just wasn’t it. Canceled the free trial but was charged $50 anyway, for nothing.
Such a brilliant app!
I absolute love this app! I use it for my furniture refinishing business and it’s the best app to quickly visualise what different finishes and designs will look like on a piece of furniture before you even pick up a paint brush! It’s also great to be able to share with clients so that can see different ideas before deciding on the final design. Highly recommend this app to anyone wanting to be able to quickly bring to life their ideas! 😊
