### 5/5 — Loving it..just one problem

*2026-02-17*

I find this app very useful and it’s very easy to use. It would be much easier if “ hide the image” or show the image could be a single tap operation cuz right now I have to tap an image then hide or show it with one more tap…also if the reblend/recreate menu above could be more transparent since it occupies more than 3rd of the screen which also can be reduced

### 5/5 — A Must Have App.

*2025-11-27*

Right off the bat, I love this app. I recently discovered it and am enjoying every bit of it. If you want to create abstract art/photography, this is it. It’s easy to use, and the outcomes are always unique. Let your infinite imagination flow and you’ll see the endless possibilities of art you can create. To add the cherry on top, you don’t need to pay to start creating your art. The free version already offers enough freedom to explore. So why wait? Give it shot, turn your work/content into abstract art, and see for yourself the greatness this app has to offer.

**Developer response:** thanks for the kind words @DivineLeaders  - very glad you're enjoying the app :D

### 5/5 — System update issues

*2025-10-05, version 2.8.0*

We can’t rotate from Portrait to Landscape without quitting first. Fabulous app, but still slow when saving.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-09-28, version 2.8.0*

App will not even open, just thinks and crashes. I am up to date.

So I contacted app support and they asked me what phone, which model and which IOS. I have a iphone 14pro with the most updated IOS. Which I emailed that back about 3 weeks ago. Have co not heard another word. And it still only crashes, does not even open.

To bad you really don't do what you say you are going to do. Still no reply from support.

### 1/5 — A hot mess

*2025-06-12*

Great idea and potential but too frustrating to use as it is. If you don’t like the results of your creation there’s no clearing the slate to start over. There’s very little you can do to adjust the layers to work together in any way so everything is random and 99% of the results will be terrible. The ability to move an image around to show the part you want where you want it, to control transparency, and to add effects to each layer would make this a top of the line app.

**Developer response:** thats a cool idea - maybe I'll introduce it in a future version

### 5/5 — One of the greatest apps ever for art

*2025-04-22*

This is a wonderful app to turn your plane, boring photos into a beautiful art or if you got drawings that you have photos of and you turn it into beautiful more beautiful artwork you can hang on your wall. This app will do that for you. It’s unbelievable the bling quality I thinkyou will enjoy this app. Just try it.

**Developer response:** thanks for the kind words @Stormlight Archive - really appreciate it - and very glad you are enjoying the app :D

### 5/5 — Arbitrary Madness

*2025-03-27*

Reminds me of Dada & Sureealism and the idea of chance / arbitrary art. I’ve had some results that I could have never found by poking around layer modes for hours in Photoshop. Sometimes you don’t get anything worth using, but sometimes I have to find more storage to save all of the goodness.

**Developer response:** Thanks transcendentalaccidentalism :D

### 3/5 — Blurriness

*2025-03-21, version 2.7.3*

I like this app. It is unique. However most of the images produced are unusable due to blurriness and artifacts plus a long portrait mode. Fun to play with but no good for art.

### 5/5 — The BEST app ever

*2024-12-28, version 2.7.3*

Double exposure triple exposure, quadruple exposure. This is the best multi blend app out there if you want to blend four pictures at a time or more the results are fantastic. Give this a try believe me you will love it.
