### 3/5 — Mise à jour ?

*2025-02-10, version 4.1*

Update de mon avis : nous sommes le 10 février 2025 et c’est dommage que l’application n’est pas eu de mise à jour depuis 4 ans. Elle mérite tellement d’être mise en avant.
Elle a été complètement abandonnée. Dommage. 

(J’avais déjà laissé mon avis mais il a disparu)

Quelle superbe découverte cette application ! 

Quelques suggestions cependant :
- rotation 360° 
- léger dézoom pour travailler les bords de feuille
- un moyen de travailler un même projet sur plusieurs appareils. iPad Air 2 et iPhone 7 pour ma part.

Merci pour la promo du pack !

L’application freeze quand je sors d’un dessin sur mon iPhone 7. Où est passé le choix des couleurs ?

### 3/5 — The App is Good

*2023-05-17, version 4.1*

The app is alright but damn the paywalls. The maps has all the major cities which is easily available. Give at least on or two try for unknown places or a user’s live location; that way once can know if the app reply works real-time and doesn’t grab images from web. 😒🤦

### 3/5 — Low resolution photo exporting

*2022-12-15*

Low resolution photo exporting to the photo gallery. 
Hopefully, it will bring features for HDR exporting. 

My device: iPhone 14 pro max (latest iOS)

Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application.

### 3/5 — I dont like the purchase thing

*2022-03-16, version 4.1*

Pls give more free maps. This is the only problem, We have an iphone and thats a very big thing because we spend so much money on iphone and if still there is so much purchasing on thes drawing apps… then there is no advantage of buying a very expensive iphone……pls understand

### 3/5 — No single free map

*2021-06-14*

Maybe, just maybe I'd trust this if "Free Maps" was a clickable thing instead of nothing and I could try something. One tiny thing.

Pricing listed makes no sense. 

Pointing out I’m rounding up because yes, a developer once argued with me that my complaints were invalid because I'd rounded up to whole numbers. 🙄

Pro= All Features: $2

Create Maps: $2

"Create Maps" appears not to be a "features" or part of the "All Features" in this scenario.

Within the app I'm offered a great deal of "all maps at 78% off= $2", exactly what I expect from the store page. Woo hoo?

Pro discount $1? Who gets the honor? Why? 

I'd maybe contact you directly as well but I'm return "can't contact for some reason" so we're here publicly.

### 4/5 — City art

*2020-11-05*

It is like a amazing master piece you should try it you can make you out of city art and to me it is fun and cool I can’t even talk about it because it is to good so I will give it four stars cause it is almost impossible but it is ok. 👍

### 3/5 — 不能恢复购买？

*2020-07-08*

手机上面都买了 现在平板上还要付费吗？

### 4/5 — Nice app but some tweaks needed

*2020-06-08*

It would be good if the last 3 or 4 created colors were “remembered” so you could select them again later.

### 4/5 — love it! but where is..

*2020-05-01*

HAMBURG, germany :((( if this ever will come to the app, i‘ll buy it for sure.

### 4/5 — 一点小建议

*2019-04-07*

非常喜欢，感谢开发商！
但是感觉地图很少啊，希望以后能使用全球的地图，如果能用自己家乡的地图绘制一定很有意义！

### 3/5 — 还行

*2019-03-08*

对于画画好的自然很好，像我这种就是要弄得久一点。但有一个问题我要反馈。这个软件画画定位不准，比如说你想在这个位置上画一下，但是画出来就是另一个位置上了

### 2/5 — Ok

*2018-12-24, version 2.9*

Thijbvg

### 3/5 — There’s more...

*2018-12-01, version 2.9*

... in North America than the US. Especially when you’re selling this in Canada.

### 3/5 — 可以不装。

*2018-11-12*

如果地图的城市对你来说是特别的倒是可以玩一下。然而装了以后大概10分钟新鲜感过去了就没什么意思。地图也不便宜。

### 3/5 — 为什么不能导入图片啊 导入不过去

*2018-11-09*

为什么不能导入图片啊 导入不过去 求作者回复

**Developer response:** Maybe you accidentally declined access to your camera-album?
If you start your iPhone's settings and then go into the City Art app. You will see something that says Images - Never.
Press on that row and change so you allow to read and write images.

If this doesn't help, email me through the app and I will help you more.

### 1/5 — Hard to use

*2025-08-28*

Not user friendly, wish I had a refund

### 1/5 — Complete Rip Off

*2023-11-15*

Do not waste your money or time on this!  It doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Free version way too limited

*2022-04-21*

Title says it all. Just import any picture you like into any art app and you can do much better for free.

### 1/5 — UI not optimised for XR

*2019-11-10, version 3.6*

The tools for changing colours are out of reach.

### 1/5 — Where is Canada?

*2018-11-14, version 2.9*

I bought the app thinking it would have maps of the entire world but there is no Canada locations whatsoever! Not impressed! I want my money back.

### 1/5 — 为什么无法自定义创建地图

*2018-08-22*

花了18块却无法用自己做的地图，希望能解决一下

**Developer response:** Please contact me through the app and I will help you as much as I can to solve your problem.
Thanks

### 1/5 — City Art

*2018-06-26*

As usual a trap to spend more.

### 2/5 — 买了一个月，也没用到两次

*2019-05-09*

不能生成新的地图，现有的地图很少，精度也一般，也只能娱乐一下，用过一次以后不太会再用

### 2/5 — 地图选项有限

*2019-04-15*

与简介里每个人心中的地方不符。因为看到那句话才下载的，但是每个人的地方局限那几个？

### 2/5 — 创意太局限了

*2019-01-05*

只是地图，没有其他可以自由创作的地方，收费的东西也没有什么新意，其实多动动手也能解决付费问题

### 5/5 — 给个五星望大家看到

*2020-09-03*

看着不错，别掉坑，里面全是花钱的，毫无灵敏度，你画这一笔其他的开始加载，到后来颜色越来越淡，开发者也是很不用心，明明是个全中文还用英文回复的

### 5/5 — HAMBURG

*2020-05-17*

YESSS it works out for me to just buy in-app function to create my own map, even for Hamburg. Thanks for that great app!

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2019-10-12, version 3.5*

This is a beautiful app

### 5/5 — 城市之美线条之美

*2019-07-07*

城市规划建设之后的模样

### 5/5 — 希望有更多的地图！

*2019-05-08*

很喜欢牛津和剑桥，希望有它们的地图。期待你们更新更多的地图啦。

### 5/5 — Absolutely love this app!💗💗

*2018-11-14, version 2.9*

This app is awesome! With the help of this app you can create simple, yet beautiful pieces of art! Totally recommend!👍🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — 😀

*2018-08-23*

对理解城市肌理很有帮助，就是有点少

### 5/5 — 太烂

*2018-08-20*

给五星完全是为了让大家看到，坑人软件完全不是地图，就是一个画图板。

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2018-03-09*

An aesthetically joyful app to use. I love the developer’s B&W photo apps, too—they’re created by a creative individual for other creative individuals to use. There’s no bloat or silliness (not that I’m against silliness). The thing is, you’re not limited by apps like these—everything isn’t paint by number. (It’s also a good thing to support developers who actually put a little bit of their own soul into their work).

**Developer response:** Miranda, you just made my day.
I think that often people who download apps don't understand how many hours that lies behind developing an app. And specially as for me since I'm alone with everything (developing, graphics, customer support etc).
So, thanks a lot for acknowledge my effort to make apps that have soul in them :)
