### 4/5 — Good, Except for;

*2023-08-24, version 5.2*

I wish I could change the background design, and the layering feature needs work.

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-05-09, version 4.6*

This app has worked great!

### 5/5 — Thank you for ur effort

*2020-03-25*

I must say I’ve wanted to start actual oil painting for a bit and didn’t have the utensils and such yet.
So I tried this app for fun.
The things you could possibly do with it are endless.
From blending tools to highlights etc.
Very much satisfied and appreciative of the colour range and texture .
To create paintings that look genuinely realistic oil paintings is such a gift.  For free!!
Thank you so much.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! 🙂

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2019-11-17, version 4.3*

I upgraded, not because I understand what I’m getting by upgrading, but in appreciation for an app that accepted outside coloring pictures as their own, and made my whole first experience so easy and so much fun, and even enabled me to share my colored page anywhere I wanted right after.  For all that, they deserve to be paid.

### 5/5 — Not happy with new update

*2018-08-01, version 3.1.2*

I am so disappointed in the new update on this app.I wish you would let well enough alone. I don’t like the way you pick a brush size and the other circles for us to figure out.i am confused about the colors and tried to find a true white but didn’t find it on the color choices. Can you please go back to the way it was before? 
This was one of my favorite apps.

PS. Where is the eye dropper?

### 5/5 — Color is wonderful!

*2017-07-24, version 2.10.0*

Love the color....
Do not like the fact that I cannot rotate my work, eyedropper is there but it should be easy like.... press on desired color until eyedropper icon shows up. More control over brush size.

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2015-10-29, version 2.0.2*

At first try went very well.

### 5/5 — Once I loved this app...

*2014-12-09, version 2.0.1*

And I still do, though it's taken me a while to get used to the new update.  I've used Hue for several years and in all that time I am still in love with it.  The colors alone are enough to inspire loyal use, the there are so many other good reasons, the main for me, though, is always the colors.  Thank you from Jamie

### 1/5 — Not very helpful

*2016-07-23, version 2.5.1*

Not user friendly no points and I'm deleting I hope there's no charge

### 1/5 — Pretty Garbage

*2013-09-03, version 1.3.1*

Pretty... and pretty useless. Little control, full of bugs including the inability to save eventually, a disappearing menu that won't come back and worst of all LO-RES, which makes it nothing more than a toy.

### 1/5 — Plehh

*2012-02-27, version 1.0.0*

I didn't like it
Not very good quality it's SUPER slow 
I can get something soooooo much better for free too

### 2/5 — App works but not like paint

*2021-11-23, version 4.6*

This app was familiar to me - I use the pastel version and like it a lot. I was hoping for smooth at would allow me to practice paint mixing that behaved like oils- it doesn’t do that. It’s more like oil pastels….

### 3/5 — hue paint

*2023-11-11, version 5.3*

### 3/5 — Missing some stuff in this update

*2017-04-04, version 2.9.0*

What happened to the ability to choose a paper color with the newest update?
Also, not so crazy about the newer smaller color samples.

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2012-12-01, version 1.1.1*

Love the mixed colors!!! Deff buy this app!!

### 5/5 — Very Unique

*2024-08-20, version 5.3.3*

Thank You for sharing all the icons in making Art.

### 5/5 — Joseph Albers would approve

*2024-05-11, version 5.3.3*

I use most of the available painting apps that are worth the effort.
I started pushing and busting pixels pre 2K when Photoshop was at v3.5 and if you didn’t have a CD ROM drive you had the option of installing with the 3.5” floppies that came in the plastic binder folders … all 15 of them - and Painter came in an actual aluminum gallon of paint which was made by a Santa Cruz company called Fractal Design. 

With everything you can accomplish with procreate these days, it lacks the painting engine that other apps have and requires you to look the other way when it comes to the realistic feel of applying paint and mixing on the fly. 

This app doesn’t do all of that precise object manipulation and placing, but it sure feels nice to paint with color and use your pencil’s pressure to mix and adjust size with. The only thing I would suggest an improvement with is a better and more obvious tool sizing interface. Other than that it does what it says it does and that’s all I want it to do. 

Great job devs!

### 5/5 — HuePaint

*2023-11-15, version 5.3*

For a freebie really really good, user friendly, nice transitions simple layout no faffing around trying to move or extend/shorten parts etc.
Renders finished project with no issues

### 5/5 — Incredibly subtle and sophisticated painting tool!

*2023-09-03, version 5.2*

Very well-thought out and sensitively made. Great for blending, blurring and watercolour effects. Fully customisable and easy to use. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Practice and fun

*2021-11-29, version 4.6*

This is a great App. Even though I’m still learning all that it can do, I’m having a blast. I’m just using my finger right now. Just wait till I get a stylus…oh boy, David Hockney watch out.

### 5/5 — Favorite Drawing app

*2021-09-21, version 4.6*

It’s my favorite drawing up I tried about 30
