### 5/5 — Incredibly deep app

*2025-06-20, version 4.92*

You will never reach the bottom of all this app can do! One of my daily go to apps!!! The creator always seems to be one creative stop ahead, something like the proverbial dangling carrot. Keep up the great work!

### 3/5 — Great when it works

*2025-06-11, version 4.92*

I’m not sure why, but it keeps hanging up on me. If I’m lucky, I can get it to make one change, and then nothing. I’ve tried reloading the app, and it hasn’t helped. I wanted to use it for simplifying some photos to use as references for watercolor paintings. I got it to work a couple of times.

### 1/5 — Wow

*2025-05-14, version 4.92*

The quality is reduced by the app when you upload a photo. I wish it saved in full quality.! The saved picture is blurry

### 5/5 — iColorama Leaves that AI Junk in the Dirt

*2025-01-01, version 4.89*

I have used this app forever.  It was a fantastic app 10 years ago.  It is so blinking beyond awesome now, I don’t know how it could improve, yet somehow the developers listen to us customers and continue to expand iColorama’s power.  You can do ~anything~ you want to an image with this app.  

Dump the AI; it looks pretty at first glance but look twice and every AI image looks like every other AI image.  With iColorama you can make some thing absolutely unique and all your own.

### 1/5 — Freezes Constantly

*2024-11-19, version 4.89*

This app used to run fine on my 4th gen iPad Pro 12.9 with the A10z chip. Now that I have a 6th gen with the M2 chip, it constantly freezes no matter what I do. In order to fix this, TEMPORARILY, I have to shutdown my iPad down and restart it. Then it starts all over again after only a few minutes. Smh😒

Extremely frustrating.

### 1/5 — Freezes in iPadOS 18

*2024-11-14, version 4.89*

I’m in an online art class.  The group really likes the App but it needs to updated, rebuilt to work with iPadOS 18.  It was a little glitchy with iPadOS 17.

### 5/5 — Best App

*2024-09-24, version 4.89*

I’ve been using this app for about 5 years. It’s the best photo art editing app with a gigantic array of tools and options to create photo art and more !

### 3/5 — Wish the video option would return.

*2024-09-20, version 4.89*

You’ve made a beautiful product. It’s crammed filled with content and options for anyone to broadly explore their self expression. But sad… Super Sad… I can no longer video my creative process. That’s were the magic happens for those of us who are challenged by curating their own work.

### 4/5 — When did go subscription?

*2024-07-07, version 4.89*

I loved this app, but recently when i tried to use it on a new ipad there's a watermark, and i've tried the versions of restore, but the watermark is still there. How do i go back to a version that worked?? I shouldn't have lost the ability to use the app as it was... if it isn't solved i'll simply scrap the app. I may also notify apple that the app changing means i'm no longer getting what i paid for.

Update:
It appears that the app is usable again. I'm understandably wary that it will continue to work, so I can only rate it 4 stars.
