Loving it..just one problem

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

A Must Have App.

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.

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

System update issues

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

Crashes

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.

A hot mess

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.

thats a cool idea - maybe I'll introduce it in a future version

One of the greatest apps ever for art

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.

Arbitrary Madness

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.

Thanks transcendentalaccidentalism :D

Blurriness

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.

The BEST app ever

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.

What happened to this app???

I loved and used the original version of this app and LOVED IT! The latest version is disaster. You can’t find photos or get anything with this app to work. In this case an update wasn’t an improvement.

I go through spells of using this …

FotoDa is a lot of fun and can be addictive at times. I hadn't used it since the last update a year ago, and the real-time editing spy feature looked appealing, but it did nothing. I'd like it to work, but I don't care much about it, so that’s not the difficulty I'm experiencing. My situation pertains to selecting what pictures to use. In the past, I think I could pile a bunch of images into an album of my camera roll and then go to my presorted folder to select the photographs I wanted to use. Now, I don't know where the photos FotoDa can use come from, nor am I sure of how I'd add more. I stitched together a few images for the sole purpose of giving them to this app, so having them be inaccessible by FotoDa is discouraging.

@PhelineCat if you shoot me an e-mail at the support link I can show you how to do this - it hasn't changed but there are a few more buttons so many that is the source of the confusion

Keeps freezing.

The app freezes and when it’s not frozen, it is extremely slow.

No work

I tried twice and it closes when you upload the photo

Marvelous Must-Have Tool For Digital Art Creation

FIVE STARS! This is literally my favorite iPad art app of all time. I'm really enjoying the simple user interface and satisfying results. I especially love that this app gives you such a fun way to experiment with running through different layer blending options quickly. IT'S JUST A MASTERFUL WAY TO COMBINE LAYERS especially compared to the olden times with the laborious tasks in
Photoshop. Again, the results are very satisfying. So much fun! Highly recommend!

Overlooked and Underrated Gem

Works wonderfully as advertised, but unable to access the paywalled features since IAP do not seem to be implemented on the App Store side of things. Would be great if this was fixed, I can see myself using this very regularly.

Please, please PLEASE pleeeaaseeee fix this app

This is one of my all time favorite apps to make art with. If it weren't for my qualms with it, this would be my favorite app. I've been using it for several years, and I do love everything about what this app does and how it blends randomized photos to create really fascinating foundations for artwork. I'd give it 5 stars because the art I've been able to make with the images generated is amazingH O W E V E R

THIS APP HAS NEVER ACTUALLY 'WORKED'

It takes up to 5+ minutes on average just to load the app. It is difficult to navigate folders and select images because-
1. it takes FOREVER to load your photo library
2. It sorts (or I could say it doesn't sort, it scrambles) your folders in a way that makes them incredibly difficult to find
3. Once you find the folder, the app freezes while you scroll and while you select images- and you have to wait for it to move again to select them. You cant touch anything while it's loading, or it says bye bye. There's no picking from multiple folders. Oh no. Not a chance. It simply could not handle such a manouver.
4. Once you select your photos and begin tapping through the output, you'd dare not click save, tap too fast, or attempt to add or remove the photos you chose BECAUSE
5. It just f*****g crashes. Bottom line. This app crashes if you breathe the wrong way.

No matter what you do, the app will crash. I typically screenshot generated images I like because as I said, you'd dare not click save. Getting to the point of having loaded the app, selected photos, allowing them to load and then beginning to tap through them- that's about a 15 minute wait on average. It's a lot of waiting for it to load and get ready, then the app crashing, opening it and trying again. It's a pain in the tush.

Developers- PLEASE fix this beautiful app. It has so much potential. Despite how difficult it is to use this app, I use it anyway. K? I trudge through this app like I'm waist deep in a pool full of molasses BUT I STILL USE IT. That says something! Ok!? There is no alternative to this app, nothing else does what this app does. So just do a gal a fav and HELP YOUR APP SPREAD ITS WINGS AND FLY OK CUZ ITS ABSOLUTELY UNUSABLE UNLESS YOU LOVE IT ENOUGH TO LITERALLY FIGHT AND ARGUE AND NEGOTIATE WITH IT

Crashing after update

Worked well, but now crashes at the start after update. Ios13 old ipad

Upped to 2 - want 5⭐️

Nothing was happening. Now after deleting it at least 5 times and putting it back in the phone it finally opened up. But it literally takes 10 minutes between each step. Most importantly, I would like to be able to select one photograph and let the app work with that. Please help? If you can help me get this working my rating will go way up.
