### 3/5 — Fun but limited.

*2024-10-25, version 1.6.83*

This app is fun to experiment with. It that is what you are interested in, you’ll like it. It’s a bit of a on-trick pony though. The addition of transparent background and layers would make it much more useful.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-10-09, version 1.6.83*

One of the best apps for creating impactful art through the use of light based brushes.

### 5/5 — Wolf-Mau.

*2024-06-19, version 1.6.83*

Bin begeistert! Excellent! Macht Freude!
Meine Empfehlung!

### 5/5 — I love using this app. Simple and timeless.

*2024-04-26, version 1.6.83*

It has many mesmerising combinations of colors and works like magic . Every stroke brings a newness everytime.

### 1/5 — Bruh

*2022-11-27, version 1.6.83*

Only 3 brushes  and then I have to buy the rest are you crazy and you can't even access the colors so you only have like four diferente colors

### 4/5 — Wish it has layers

*2022-10-22, version 1.6.83*

Very cool app but wish we can use layers

### 4/5 — Almost as good as Amberlight

*2022-08-18, version 1.6.83*

While this app is fun to draw with, I wish it had the HD or 4K video recording option like in Amberlight. If you could add video recording of flame painting or generative video of flame painting I would give this 5 stars for sure.

### 4/5 — Wish there was the option for transparent background

*2022-08-17, version 1.6.83*

Fun little app. Not too expensive and you might actually be able to make something awesome, that could be used as an asset in other works of art. I just wish that this app and the other “Inspirit” had transparent backgrounds. I’m curious if the much more expensive computer versions would have that. I don’t see why the iPad can’t have more packed into it. I would gladly spend more on this app if it came fully packed with creative tools.

### 3/5 — My bad, confused with another app

*2022-06-04, version 1.6.83*

Interesting concept, but can do almost nothing without purchasing the “full” version.... The pictures in the app description show many tools you cannot actually access unless you buy the full version... also, I am not sure if this is a “full” feature or not, but you can’t even adjust the colors or the intensity/ opacity.  The pixel sizes it supports also could be much higher quality, at least twice as large. I would think- not sure if that is a feature in the “full” app too- it is not clear what is actually included if I were to pay to unlock the full app.

### 5/5 — ahoj Cauldronak

*2022-04-07, version 1.6.83*

appka je super ale ked vlozim obrazok(fotku) tak to cele crashne
