Zoom Tool ~ Pinch to zoom would have been great to get close in for fine detail. 2. Brush Types ~ it would have been fantastic to have been able to choose different types of brushes. Having just the one brush weakens the creativity of the app. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2013-10-01, version 1.7.3* This app is awesome! Even though it isn't updated for iOS 7 yet, I have had no problems other than that it is a little slow. Other than that, it is flawless. Definitely a five star app here! ### 5/5 — Very good program. *2013-04-21* You can really make some art here. Latest update continues to improve it. ### 5/5 — Great App *2013-03-23* Great app for creating "faux" art! Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-02-18* Absolutely awesome. Easy. Can make an artist out of anyone. Love this App. ### 5/5 — Fab *2013-01-09* I'm going to try this with a Year 8 class. Great to explore brushwork, directional strokes, following the form. It also demonstrates using a limited palette. All cool and fun tools. Takes a little bit to get used to but got two great images so far. ### 5/5 — Fun & Functional *2013-01-01* A lot of fun just to doodle with, but can actually get something usable out too with a little effort. The recorded playback keeps the nephew amused as well. Great little app for the price so I recommend it. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App!!! *2012-12-27* I've been using this app to create DTG art for T Shirts. Wonderful product!!!! Would love to see additional brushes though ;). Great buy! ### 5/5 — Super nice *2012-10-19* Love this app... Very cool effects 5 stars ### 4/5 — great app!!! *2012-08-28* save full res photo is a must! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2019-02-17* The new upgrade keep crashing ### 1/5 — Cannot get access to my photos *2019-01-12* I bought the paid version on my iPad, but cannot access my photos. Also, the camera doesn’t work. So I installed the free version on my iPhone and did the upgrade to allow access to photos and...Still the app doesn’t allow access to photos (on the phone and iPad. What good is an artistic photo app if you can’t access or take photos? ### 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. ### 3/5 — Great when it is working *2013-10-08* Great fun when you can get a photo to load. Using photos from photostream causes app to crash back to ipad home screen. Needs updating urgently. ### 3/5 — Could be five starts but... *2013-09-30* I am not able to download pictures from my library, hope it will be fix soon. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2014-08-27* It does rely on how good your photo is in the first place. I agree different brushes would be really good but try using different types of styles on the same picture. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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? ### 5/5 — Would be Better!! *2019-12-07* If done auto art!! ### 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 ### 5/5 — New upgrade *2019-02-18* Rotten ! Total disappointment. You blew it big time. If it ain’t broke, don”t ’fix” it. Lousy UI and brush choices too. Auto paint option used to be nice also. Can’t use it anymore. Bye bye ! ### 5/5 — Very happy *2018-05-16* I don’t write reviews normally but I love this app so much thank you ### 5/5 — Amazing... *2016-10-05* ...and so easy. You can create a work of art in three minutes. ### 5/5 — STUDIOMEE ROCKS *2014-02-08* Foolproof® is great! If the developers can add an alpha channel for each background they offer (concrete wall would be a nice addition) I would hope they could allow the paints to reveal the textures of those backgrounds, adding lots of realism. Also it would make sense to be able to toggle the option of seeing the original photo with being able (this is the most IMPORTANT suggestion for either the next update or an in-app purchase) to paint inside the magnifier lens since there is no apparent zoom feature while painting. The auto paint feature is a nice intro, but the fun comes with the manual painting, which allows a large range of brush sizes, a variety of color approaches that have intensity sliders AND a slider for how random the colors are—great for grayscale original photos—all within the same painting! Finally while the paint does smear nicely, there is no wipe-off/erase feature. One day I'd like to see this on the desktop combined with some of the desktop features of PaintMee®. Just buy it and send them your feature requests; they do listen. Which is why they rock. ### 5/5 — Foolproof, for real *2013-11-21* In three words: creative and fabulous. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
