Learned to watercolor *2025-04-20, version 10.10.0* The instructors are very nice, you can even talk to them online, wasn't sure how to start doing watercolor but this was perfect! ### 5/5 — 100/10!!! *2025-04-18, version 10.10.0* My friend suggested I download this app and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. I was a little intimidated at first but once I understood how the tracing technology worked, I was sold. As someone with very little drawing experience, I’m amazed at what I’m making! The technology is awesome and the artists’ tutorials are so helpful and engaging, I even joined a live class and had so much fun! Thanks for everything y’all do! ### 4/5 — Tracing features Won’t work unless you buy a $50 membership. *2025-04-12, version 10.10.0* They advertise a tracing capability but I had trouble getting it to work. Their customer support eventually helped me. ### 5/5 — Drawling *2025-04-05, version 10.10.0* It is very fun cause I like the drawing ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT! *2025-04-02, version 10.9.1* This art app is amazing! It has truly enhanced my creativity and helped me improve my skills. The tools are intuitive, and the features are perfect for both beginners and experienced artists. I’m so grateful for how much it’s helped me grow as an artist. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Cupixel is like Bob Ross and Iron Man had a baby—and gave it to me to raise. *2025-04-02* I cannot say enough good things about this app. I started using Cupixel thinking I’d just dabble a bit—and now I’m fully obsessed. I went from “I can barely draw a stick figure” to “Did I just make that?!” faster than you can say “digital stencil.” Every tool is intuitive, the lessons are awesome, and the guidance from real artists makes me feel like I’ve got a creative coach in my pocket (without the awkward pocket bulge). It’s not just an art app—it’s an experience. A transformation. A total glow-up for your creative soul. Biggest shoutout to Elad and the whole Cupixel team. Y’all didn’t just make an app. You built a portal to confidence, color, and creativity—and gave us all the keys. My walls, my family, and my heart are forever more vibrant because of it. Thank you for helping me bring more joy (and way more acrylic) into my world. 10/10. No notes. Except the colorful kind that say, “Thank you!” **Developer response:** This is a special one - thank you ! ### 5/5 — Obsessed!! *2025-03-20* I stumbled upon Cupixel’s Instagram page and was immediately excited to try it out. They offer a 3-day trial, so you can test it before joining. The AR feature is nothing short of revolutionary! After trying a few sketches, I felt more relaxed and inspired. The community aspect, where users share their creations, adds a great sense of connection. Plus, their support is handled by real people—which is a huge plus. Love this app! ### 5/5 — Such a good gift *2025-03-20, version 10.9.0* Got this box as a birthday gift, and it’s SO cool! For now, I’m using the free section, but I might join the full membership as I’m getting better. The videos are amazing, and Hayley, the lead artist, is so fun—she makes creating feel easy and even makes mistakes feel like part of the process. Loving it! ### 5/5 — LOVE *2025-03-20, version 10.9.0* Found the Cupixel art set on discount at Joann (they’re closing, so run and grab one!). I wasn’t sure what to expect, but wow—it’s such a fun and easy way to start creating art. The AR tracing is super intuitive, and even as a total beginner, I’m already seeing progress. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to get creative! ### 5/5 — I did it! *2025-02-28, version 10.9.0* Amazed at what I was able to create with the help of the AR and the soothing instruction by Haley, the artist in my “experience” ### 5/5 — Extremely satisfied customer *2025-01-17, version 10.7.1* After having a few issues( that by the way, ended up being my fault) they were excellent at helping me out step through step troubleshooting with me trying to figure out what was wrong. I was at first sketchy about chatting online. I thought they were robots but no, they’re actually human beings very caring human beings. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s actually so bad and not worth it *2025-07-21, version 10.14.1* Honestly I could probably make the same thing for free I just wouldn’t have the ‘tutorials’ the images of gallery you can choose freely are quite ugly and yeah ### 1/5 — Have to pay to use the good features *2025-06-25, version 10.13.1* I was supper excited to try this app out when I got the stand but if you want to trace anything more than the sad couple line art pieces they have on their gallery you have to pay way to much money to simply use your own photos. Not what it advertised at all. Get a different app. ### 1/5 — The worst *2025-05-29, version 10.12.0* First of all, I tried downloading the app, took hours.🙄 My one-month membership didn’t even work. Then, it told me to pay which is totally unreasonable. Not getting this ever again. ### 1/5 — This is not free!!! *2025-05-20, version 10.11.1* This application is very nice, but it requires a monthly subscription. The only thing that is available for free is some sample images that they have for you create without limits I don’t think so. I think the limit is the monthly subscription. Thanks, but no thanks. ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-11-23, version 10.5.5* One star because once you get on it, it tries to show you a video and you watch it all and then you want to add your own pictures so you can trace it onto your paper so then I clicked on it and then it’s asking me to pay so then I’m like no then I hit 14 day free trial and then it’s still asking me to pay and then I contacted the person who made it and said there’s nothing wrong with it so this app is not that good you should find another app ### 1/5 — Not good for underpainting *2024-04-09, version 8.6.1* Doesn’t work on black paper ### 1/5 — Nope *2024-01-13, version 8.4.0* Paid for the device stand and now you want me to pay for a monthly subscription so I can use it? … 1 star. ### 1/5 — Zu teuer *2023-10-20, version 8.1.0* Ich finde man sollte eigene Fotos und Schriften kostenlos machen dafür Videos bezahlen muss oder mehr kostenlose Motiven machen muss ### 1/5 — IT’S SAD *2023-10-11, version 8.1.0* It's sad that the only thing this app cares about is that they want to take your money. If you want to use it with your photos you have to pay. Unless you use the little and not very good selection that they want, that is with the test they give you, for me it is rubbish. I'm sorry. ### 1/5 — Good concept, impossible to do *2023-07-31, version 7.9.1* You can’t see your work or hand below the tracing so it essentially like drawing with your eyes closed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH☺️🖤 *2026-08-15* hey guys its me and this is my favorite app i love to post my art so much and see otherpeoples amazing work. Parents if youre reading this trust me its safe. I understand your concerns but we’re really just a bunch of art nerds LOL🖤🖤anyways ive been able to connect with a bunch of people on here-only emotionally obviously-and everyone is really supportive (also no one cusses on there). Anyways for the kids and teenssss, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO DOESNT EVEN PAY FOR ANY BONUSES. Oh and one thing, i get that getting all set up can be stressful but you just need to stay calm or contact the team with questions!!! Love u guys keep creating <3 **Developer response:** Thank you SO much for this kind review ! ### 5/5 — Love it - So cool *2026-08-04, version 10.15.3* This app has all you need to create. Great videos with cool AR tech that allows you to trace. Great live support. ### 5/5 — Amazing customer service. *2026-01-23* Prompt and helpful although I didn’t end up needing them because the app is so simple. I was over complicating it. I believe the name was Edon I don’t know if they get bonus points but they followed up with me a few days later just to make sure and that was cool. Also I love the app. I recommend the stand but it’s still cool without it. My kids (6&7) use it, I use it. It’s great for building confidence in your skill. **Developer response:** Thank you for the thoughtful review. Elad will be happy to hear this, and I’m really glad the follow-up felt helpful. Love that you and your kids are using it together, and that it’s building confidence. THANK YOU ### 5/5 — Sooo good *2025-08-19, version 10.14.2* I love this app because I help me get better at drawing and everyone is sooo nice ### 5/5 — I did it! *2025-07-17, version 10.14.1* Amazed at what I was able to create with the help of the AR and the soothing instruction by Haley, the artist in my “experience” ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-07-15, version 10.14.1* :) ### 5/5 — Cupixel *2025-07-08, version 10.14.0* It’s a great app I love the technology so you can draw beautiful things and share them on spaces! ### 5/5 — How it improved my drawing *2025-06-28, version 10.13.1* Cupixel is one of those apps that will change your life. I enjoy drawing but I couldn’t get it right. after I got the app improved my drawing a lot. After Cupixel I had a better mentality of my drawing. If you want to improve your drawings try Cupixel. ### 5/5 — Love it - So cool *2025-06-19, version 10.13.1* This app has all you need to create.
