If photo processing and manipulation are your thing you need to pick this app up NOW. Please support this developer by purchasing the app. The app is amazing and well worth the minimal purchase price. ### 5/5 — Awesome Creative App *2016-04-29, version 1.5* Definitely worth the download! ### 5/5 — top apa *2016-04-19, version 1.5* perfect ### 5/5 — Goood *2016-02-23, version 1.0* Good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It was a great app *2017-01-29, version 1.8* You guys what happened. The circles and sliders are out of control and I dont know whats doing what. It is not dense enough with a white background. The colored lines in day glow are terrible and make it look like it was done with a bad app.. it used to be simple and for the life of me this user interface with the circles and lines. Its a hot mess😞i loved this app. Please leave trigamator alone. Im super duper disappinted. You could just put a pic in and sometimes the more simple and less JAZZY,with all the sliders making no sense. And if you go white your subject is in a cloud of smoke with no density... what your aiming for and what you got is a total fail, and I loved this app before.. please those circles and feeling forced to go a black with flouresant lines just makes it too Jazzy, as my friend says, meaning cheezy and too busy, with muddy backgrounds, totally gross update , bummer. ### 1/5 — A bit disappointing *2016-08-12, version 1.7.2* It is kind of hard to use, and not intuitive. Also can't figure out if I can manipulate how much of each effect can be used?...I'm hoping that at least that can be done. I am still trying but so far have not been able to create anything that looks as cool as the images they show you to sell the app. So far all my attempts just look like images with scratches on top. ### 1/5 — Crashing... *2016-05-11, version 1.7* It keeps crashing before I get open... I click to open it and then it escapes... Anything you can do? ### 2/5 — Crashes to much... *2021-08-20, version 1.8.8* The app is constantly freezing up when experimenting with the various tools Would like a refund ### 2/5 — Like it until..... *2016-10-18, version 1.8* Liked until you upgraded it meaning it went from 5 stars down to 2.... not happy with it now :-( ### 3/5 — Masking tool *2018-06-02, version 1.8.8* Could you add a masking tool? They would be great. Thanks. **Developer response:** Hi Prepyadrian, it would require a lot of work for something that's not the main focus of the app. Some other specialized apps are doing this function much better. Thanks for your feedback! ### 3/5 — Great but crashes too much to be useful. *2018-05-19, version 1.8.8* Crashes every 4 or 5 times I run a filter. iPhone 6+, latest updates. Awesome otherwise. **Developer response:** I will look into it, thanks for the report! ### 4/5 — Variety of Possibilities *2016-04-02, version 1.5* Wonderful app. Still learning how to control the use of the different "patterns" and I'm really enjoying the process. Would like to see some type of instruction guide or tutorial unless the app is meant to be a random multiple-guess on how to approach what "pattern" would work best with a particular photo. ### 4/5 — Super Cool Effects *2016-02-29, version 1.1* While the "free" portion of the app is a tiny tease, if you can afford to open the rest of the effects, you'll be WOWed by the subtle to dramatic line generator that powers the effects! As a digital artist, I use many apps to create images, layering effects from 2 to 20 apps/backgrounds/images. The addition of this fun app has allowed me to create some strange and wonderful images. My two requests to put this app in the 5 star category is masking/erase control & more level-of-effect controls. ### 5/5 — I love the app!........... *2020-12-06, version 1.8.8* One suggestion that would make this even better is to allow for us to change the focal point of the light source. Instead of only having it in the middle by default, it would be great if we could pick the spot on the picture for the light to emanate from. Please consider making that as an option! Update: The app won’t open anymore. Please update it! Thanks! **Developer response:** Hi Batman2287, Let me look into this, thanks for your feedback! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Aging internationally published illustrator designer asks to be on focus group *2020-10-25, version 1.8.8* Great beginning I hope you’re not going to abandon the project but I think I could help you get another dollar to or two from people who want what I want… What do I want? I want my own scribbles... I want to be my own cy Twombly without owing you guys too much stylistically.... all I ask is for a percentage of the profits it could be .01 for all I care… I also would like free versions of the new software… I tried HyperCard programming long ago and I found I could record the cursor movements quite easily and then distortThen I could either add randomness ,smooth out the strokes like a missile guided ,or all sorts of things.... you could have a record scribble button with about 100 different distortion parameters so one would not even have to spend all their time scribbling… As someone else mentioned you can’t even change the width of a stroke with your soft well where this alone would be invaluable otherwise the scribbling becomes too precious… Tell me how to contact you and I’ll help all I can as a BFA holding Art mercenary ha ha Ha.... Think of it as micro philanthropy I am on a disability check right now having troubles...sigh,ha so much for my pathos..... let us skin this cat and skin it correctly ha.... I truly believe in the potential that your app has!.... right now I have to beef it up in Snapseed using the double exposure function... what is needed from all these ai generation apps is for them to be unidentifiable and customizable.... ### 5/5 — Thank you for this unique app! *2019-02-13, version 1.8.8* I love experimenting with this app . It would be great to see few additional tools like changing the size of the particles and ability to randomize them a bit specially when using the same pattern more than ones so they don’t land exactly in the same spot. And off course having more patterns/particles would be highly appreciated. **Developer response:** Hi glichjunkY71, thanks for your nice review and feedback, I will look into it! ### 5/5 — Supercool *2017-05-08, version 1.8.8* On of the best procedural effect apps out there. Get it, you won't regret it. **Developer response:** Thanks :} ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2017-05-03, version 1.8* If you're a creative person this app is for you **Developer response:** Indeed! Thanks :} ### 5/5 — Great effects *2017-05-02, version 1.8.7* Experimenting with the effects is a joy. Some unusual results! **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 5/5 — TOR1964 *2017-03-08, version 1.8* good app! ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-01-20, version 1.8* Excllent app,edit your photos in a different way ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2017-01-19, version 1.8* Simply incredible!
