Almost great

It keeps crashing and deleting everything, save to gallery is inconsistent so you have to make an export every few minutes to feel comfortable. I’m making this review after one too many paintings were deleted and I feel like this is something that should be functional in a painting app . The actual painting process is perhaps the best out of any app I’ve ever used and I’ve made most of my favourite paintings on this app but I can’t recommend it because of how unstable it is. I’ll probably continue to use it because of how good it feels when it works but it needs considerably better stability to be worth paying for

Amazing concept but unforgiving.

I use a lot of textured in my art and was otherwise thrilled to use heavy paint! Unfortunately, the severe amount of bugs make this app incredibly difficult to work with. Artwork corrupts easily and messes up whole sections, undo button doesn’t work properly and instead of undoing the previous stroke, it removes the strokes prior. The entirety of the canvas corrupts far too easily and I ended up losing an entire artwork that is stuck on a boot loop of the app attempting to fix the corruption and reopening the file over and over. I do love the brushes and the rainbow scale, but this app is genuinely high risk, low reward. I had really high hopes and unfortunately they were crushed. QOL updates are desperately needed, I really want to use this app, but unfortunately it’s just really not worth the all the cortisol

dear god

i redownloaded this app just a few minutes ago because i missed the painting tools it had and theres a HUGE problem. i like to chicken scratch/go over one spot multiple times in my drawings and that for some reason activates the color picker?? and its so aggressive im like fighting with it the whole time and not only that but when i DEACTIVATE it it undoes my most recent line when i go to draw another or just completely obliterates my drawing. please please please fix it i really like the brushes but this is terrible

Need to fix Timelapse

Love the app but crashes and lost progress, broken features are getting in the way

my favourite painting app but too buggy

I love this up so much! there's something about the randomness that adds a much more natural feeling to painting. I really love how customisable the UI is, shrinking it down and making it as minimal as possible om ipad mini is great.

unfortunately i cant recommend it until it receives a lot of bug fixes. I am constantly losing hours of progress due to random bugs that will wipe my layers or recent painting, and countless other little bugs that make it a frustrating experience. hoping for fixes soon.
