### 2/5 — Can’t use on my 11

*2021-10-21, version 2.0*

When you pick a photo, it doesn’t show up on the next screen and then it crashes.  🥲

### 2/5 — automatic mode gone

*2019-10-19, version 2.0*

so the app pretty much its useless now lol

### 1/5 — Where Is The Auto Paint Feature???

*2019-03-05, version 2.0*

The automatic painting feature is what I loved most. Has it been removed? Sigh. Spending entirely too much time trying to get this app to work after the update that was supposed to simplify things. The update looked incredibly promising, but so far for me it's a bust. Will update if I'm able to figure things out.

### 4/5 — Always loved it!

*2019-02-27, version 1.85*

This app has been a favorite of mine for a long time. However, it is no longer working on iPhone XR. It keeps saying “user denied access” when I try to load photos. Please help! I got the other Foolproof app and it works. However, this app has better painting. Please fix this one!

### 1/5 — Abandonware

*2019-01-15, version 1.85*

No longer works, permissions are broken.

### 4/5 — Deeper Than First Impression

*2014-01-17, version 1.8*

Certainly on the most basic level this auto painting app is the richest, but working without the auto paint feature is far more interesting...

If you are a fan of StudioMee, get it.

If you are new to StudioMee perhaps you might want to begin with either PaintMee (I prefer the desktop version rather than upgrading the IOS version, simply because you have more options in OSX) or SketchMee (upgraded to save PDFs for vector art aficionados).

I would love to see the ability to show the various background textures through the brush strokes, sort of the way PaintMee can be set to show. If the developers can build in an alpha channel one can toggle on/off, it would be a great move toward a more realistic interaction with the wide range of substrates.

Second, it would be very helpful to repurpose the loupe which serves little use given the much more troublesome lack of ability to zoom in on the painting in progress—something that would allow control on a zoomed in level.

It's a rewarding app, 5 stars if these two features can be added, even if it requires an in-app investment for those who would like these features.

Thanks, StudioMee!

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2014-01-04, version 1.8*

This app made feel something very special. Feeling the joy of finding long lost most favorite toy in childhood. Just one painting gave this joy! Just couldn't wait to say thank you to developers and 5 Stars to this app.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2013-12-25, version 1.8*

Crashes every time you try to select a photo. Can't even try app if can't select an item to work with!

### 1/5 — Wack

*2013-12-24, version 1.8*

Did not like this app at all.  Too complicated.  I deleted it after about 5 min.

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2013-12-18, version 1.8*

Found on AppsGoneFree and advert stated 55 reviews with a rating of 4.5, however you get to the store and there is one obviously "self promoted" rating for the current version.  Note to dev:  must add picture to use the app.  If you crash at that point, you have failed at your job.
