### 5/5 — Sneaky AI Art

*2026-09-09*

I use this app to help me with my mixed media artwork. Does a great job of altering my reference images. The altered images then get traced and re-purposed. And it doesn’t look like AI. 👍🏼

### 4/5 — Good for Beginners

*2026-07-02*

Lots of filters to let someone experience the depth and width of the AI process.

### 5/5 — Art

*2025-08-14*

Great software extremely adjustable

### 5/5 — A Fun App to try out different ideas

*2025-07-10*

I have used this app now for several years. I find that it’s fun to try out different looks for my photos.  It is fairly easy to use however, at times it is frustrating to get just the right look that I’m trying to produce. Over all it’s worth having the Graphite app on your phone for hours of fun and creativity.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-05-29*

Loving this - it’s fun!

### 5/5 — Simple

*2025-04-23*

Simple d’utilisation. Nombreuses possibilités. Je recommande.

### 5/5 — I'm learning

*2025-02-12*

The app seams intutive and I like that! There are a lot of options. So far (2 hours) so good!

### 4/5 — EXCELLENT

*2025-02-10*

Possibilités infinies, traitement parfois un peu long

### 5/5 — App

*2024-11-01*

AWSOME!! More paint filters and others

### 1/5 — Did not work

*2024-09-24*

I tried the app as a free trial. Using 3 different images the app failed to complete any sketch abruptly crashing during the processing of all 3 images. I canceled the free trial and looked for another app that might actually work. Save your money

**Developer response:** hello Roger,
I'm sorry it didn't work, that shouldn't have happened... would you mind telling me which Mac model you have? or send me email at contact@sdfx.app, if you can.
thanks! Ricardo
