I love the B&W with just a hint of color! ### 5/5 — So Fun *2016-05-24, version 5.3* So fun and easy to use. I used a stylus to create super cute pics ### 5/5 — easy to use and fun *2016-04-21, version 5.3* "To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” After discovering this app, now all the photos look like can be enhanced using it.. :) I now need find out how I make fine lines since my finger tip is too fat for details. ### 2/5 — Getting aggravated *2016-02-15, version 5.3* So how do u use it???i have downloaded 4 now & not one of them works!!! It leaves big red dots on the roses I am trying to change ### 5/5 — Awesome app!!! *2015-10-02, version 5.3* Really cool app to play with your pictures!!! ### 3/5 — Good app *2015-08-20, version 5.3* I like this app just wish I cld zoom without buying the upgrade hence the reason I'm writing this review ( get points towards an upgrade) ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-08-05, version 5.3* I love it!! ### 5/5 — Fun twist to pictures *2015-07-28, version 5.3* Easy to use looks great ### 5/5 — Dash of Color *2015-07-12, version 5.3* Very nice app. Lots of fun and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Do The Job *2015-07-10, version 5.3* So far i love it. I use my stylus pen ### 4/5 — Not bad *2014-07-16, version 5.1* Compared to other reviews, I actually really like this app. Everyone is complaining about there not being a save option (it would be nice) but I just took a screen shot of my finished pic and then went to my photos and cropped it back to size with the new improvements :)). One suggestion though would be to make it to where the color circle could change sizes instead of having to zoom in so much. ### 4/5 — Used to work, but now it doesn't *2013-05-10, version 3.6.1* I used to love this app, but now whenever I try to use it and save a picture, whether to my camera roll or Facebook, it just comes out a black square. I have deleted the app and reloaded it to my phone (4S) and it just does the same thing. I'm really bummed it doesn't work on my phone anymore.... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken *2019-08-21, version 5.3* Edited photos no longer saving to camera roll or posting to Facebook. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still have the same issue. ### 1/5 — Not working *2018-11-27, version 5.3* This app is not working and not easy to use. ### 1/5 — No. *2016-07-14, version 5.3* I was unable to add any color to my image. Looks like a bait-and-switch with the in-app purchases, but can't evaluate before buying. ### 1/5 — Free version doesn't work as advertised *2015-09-13, version 5.3* If I could give it 0 stars I would. It does not work as advertised. Hitting the color button allows you to add a smudge of orange tint to your picture. ### 1/5 — What? *2015-09-08, version 5.3* This app turned my black-and-white picture to sepia, as far as I can tell there are no other colors. ### 1/5 — Help? *2015-07-26, version 5.3* There is no "help" button on the app & I have no idea how to work it! This app really does nothing ### 1/5 — Looks Great, until u save it *2012-10-28, version 3.6.1* This app is user friendly and works very smoothly. Does exactly what it says, except for the saving part. It won't save any of your hard work. If the devs want to avoid all these low ratings they should at least post a note saying they are aware of the problem and are working on it. The app is worthless as is so 1⭐. Lots of people will just delete this app and not bother with it again, including me. Had they posted a note, I'd keep the app and it would have a chance to earn a higher rating. Too bad incompetence wins the day. ### 1/5 — Does nothing! *2011-12-28, version 3.5* The color only does the same shade of orange & no other colors every time. There is no selection to change colors. When I click the button labeled gray, which one would assume either turns the colored changes to gray or makes the original gray picture different shades of gray, I see no changes. To undo, you can't choose to undo the entire image at once, but only stroke by stroke. And when you do color (in orange as there's no other color), you use your fingertip so the swatch of color is no smaller (or bigger) than your fingertip, so the colorized portion is imprecise for where you want it. Such as for an eye's iris as shown on the app icon. There should be a tool option to select different painting tools of different sizes such as different width brushes. There also are no overall app settings (other than sharing features) neither in app or in the iPhone / iPad app settings. Even as a free app, it's crap & I will be deleting it. ### 1/5 —  *2009-12-23, version 0* It won't work! Maybe I'm just not smart enough to figure it out, but there are several key problems with this app. . It only let's me choose certain pictures. What's up with that? . There's a small menu at the bottom of the screen, which is fine. However, whenever I choose something like 'color', it doesn't do anything. And I know that my iPod isn't frozen because it responds to other commands. I can't color, I can't change anything using this app.  . Add instructions!!! ### 2/5 — App crashes *2016-06-06, version 5.3* Good app that is fun when it works. Super frustrating when you spend time working on a picture and the app crashes and you have to start over, which has happened about 50% of the time that I use the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing app!! *2022-11-04, version 5.3* Absolutely amazing and so simple to use!
