### 3/5 — Pretty good app but...

*2024-02-01*

You used to be able to change between different color modes without clearing the image. That was better.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2022-10-04*

It is nice but it is blurry I can’t see myself in there

### 1/5 — Does not work!

*2020-08-25*

There are no instructions to explain how to use it! I tried several times and I even paid to download the full version and nothing. It allowed me to choose a picture from my photos but the picture never appeared in order to paint it. It just stayed a blank canvas. I’m very unhappy!!

### 1/5 — ℂℝ𝔸ℙ 𝔸ℙℙ

### 3/5 — Fun

*2019-12-25*

I can see a few tools improvements: I would add warping tool to make it harder and slightly more changeable.  I felt the underpinning was too quick to reveal and lacked directional strokes. Dotting would be nice, or a pallet knife.
I liked the small tool kit, uncluttered look, choices, options to save, and the sound Fx.  I would include a dry brush sound.  I had no crashes.  I did not ever find a real option to paint without background, but perhaps it’s the point.  It could offer print options in its future as an idea. Over all a Nice trial, quite a stress reliever!  God job.  I’ll be checking back to see any new modification work.  It should be extended with options, if it is to ever be a stand alone.  As it is, I got through it a bit too fast.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2016-01-20*

This app is so much fun! I love the video playback! Highly recommended

### 5/5 — I like it!

*2015-12-24*

I started off just goofing around and ended up with some very fun art. There's enough to make this worth a free download but I'm considering the full app. There's a banner ad at the top but no pop-ups so this is definitely worth a try if you're interested in being creative with your photos. The video of your creation is fun too! Get it!

### 5/5 — Love Foolproof!

*2015-09-16*

This is so much fun and it's so easy to create gorgeous portraits and landscapes.  Print them on canvas and you have fabulous original wall art.

### 5/5 — A great art app.

*2015-04-04*

Very easy to use and a great app, plus it's free.

### 5/5 — Oil Painting On Your Ipad or other devices.

*2014-04-19*

I really love this app/program. It is fairly easy to use and loads of fun. I have been looking for something like this for quite a while. I only wish it had a pencil and blush/eraser feature, so you can sign your work. It does have a back feature that can remove a mistake. I will look for a paid version, to see if it might have more features ...  All in all, a Great App!
