### 1/5 — Nul

*2025-01-24*

J’ai acheté cette app car elle était classée parmi les meilleures apps payantes d’Apple avec une note de 4.5… sans voir qu’il n’y avait que 2 votes, bref, poubelle !

### 1/5 — Apple should not let people pay money for this app

*2024-10-06*

A core feature, the ability to make video from your creations simply doesn’t work. Tried on iPad and iPhone. Contacted the developer with no bug fix. People shouldn’t pay for an app that only does 50% of its intended features.

### 5/5 — you can easily paint tons of paintings

*2021-12-25*

I find if I blend the painting with original photo and use masking brush in free SNAPSEED app, I get wild painting on edges but detailed face features in centre….

### 5/5 — Can’t change my brush

*2020-11-03*

This doesn’t work very well on my iPad Pro. 
One my old iPad it was fine. Now my brush is lame. Very disappointed.
It changes size but it’s the same stipple brush and doesn’t look good.

### 5/5 — Apple pencil?

*2020-07-25*

I’ve started working with the app again and I like the changes with three brush sizes and tripling them. I wish I could draw from the bezel onto the screen without activating pull down menus and such. What would be the benefit of using the Apple pencil other than a finer point than a regular stylus?

### 1/5 — Foolproof

*2020-03-20*

I like the older version I had. I have no instructions with the new updated version.
Still trying to find instructions ! 
Not to happy unless I find instructions for updated version.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2020-02-22*

Needs to have a fine point to create detail. Smallest brush point is still too uncontrolled. I bought the advanced version.

### 5/5 — Would be Better!!

*2019-12-07*

If done auto art!!

### 1/5 — Used to be good.

*2019-05-07*

This app used to be really good.  Whatever you guys did just made it worthless.  I can see a lot of strokes but no picture.  Triple tap and you see the picture but that’s it.

### 5/5 — The Magic of Touch

*2019-03-06*

The iPad and iPhone have made the touch interface an integral pat of our daily lives and this lovely application makes it all the more enjoyable! Foolproof takes full advantage of the iPad's smooth surface, turning your finger into a brush, and the iPad into a palette and canvas at the same time. Enjoyable! - My Apple Podcast
