### 3/5 — Nice and easy to use

*2012-11-03*

It's basic but easy to use and you get good results in a short space of time.

### 2/5 — I thought it'd be easier

*2012-10-25, version 2.3*

I thought that with this app, you can just tap the desired area and it will color splash it for you so that you can have defined color edges. Well that's not the case, you need to manually do it. There's other free apps that are better for manual color splash.

### 4/5 — Great results and free

*2012-10-16*

Took me a couple of goes to get the hang of but once I found the zoom then my fat clumsy fingers no longer a problem. Easy to use and pretty impressive effects for little effort!
AND IT'S FREE

### 4/5 — Yeah... Its good... 🌴

*2012-08-28, version 2.2.1*

Cuz you can keep up to 4 colors in a pic.. And all others will be black and white...very simple to use... I will gift 4⃣🌟's .... To the creators... When you get the saving step...it should have a back bottom... You can do that...improve it!!!✨👍✨

### 4/5 — Harry revyoo

*2012-06-06*

Its's quit good when you get yousto it you can make rally good proctors you can make it your wallpaper

### 4/5 — Pics

*2012-05-30*

Great app simple to use

### 4/5 — IQuicksplash

*2012-05-24*

Takes a bit of time to understand... But if u save the picture and then play with the saved image under Instagram u can create some great images that look like almost professional !!!

### 4/5 — Would recommend

*2012-05-08*

Took a few goes to master how it works but great app.

### 5/5 — The best

*2012-02-14, version 2.1*

I have five folders filled with photo apps. This one has worked it's way into my number one folder and is the
Best at controlling depth of field.

### 4/5 — Great!

*2012-02-06*

Nice.

### 3/5 — Is it just me with clumsy fingers??

*2012-02-05*

Can't get the hang of it, find it hard to pan/zoom, have managed to do one really amazing pic but the rest are average (due to lack of precision in the colour splash part) Any help gratefully received

### 4/5 — Good can be better😄

*2012-01-03, version 2.0*

Well I wish it would be easier but other than a few glitches great all 😃!!!

### 5/5 — Very special!

*2011-12-26, version 2.0*

I was delighted to find this easy to use app that creates such special results.

### 3/5 — Not Bad

*2011-12-12*

It's not bad... It could be better because it's not perfect. When I try to take all the collies away except one , it doesn't do it exactly. For example, I'm trying to edit a picture of my sister Katy perry, and I only want to show her previous pink hair, it stills shows her skin around her head and there are patches of colour. It's still good and I could just be bad at the whole thing. ( jokes about sis :P)

### 5/5 — Great finish for great camera

*2011-11-26, version 2.0*

I've had quite a few people argue with me that a used a DSLR for some of the pics I have adjusted with iQuikDoF!

### 3/5 — It ok

*2011-11-10*

Its ok

### 4/5 — Fantastic

*2011-09-08*

It's now one of my favourite selective colouring apps. I don't like the interface so much and that's why 4 stars. Once that is revamped, I will upgrade my review, but functionality wise, it does the job perfectly and I am happy with it.

### 1/5 — Better directions would be nice

*2016-08-30, version 3.4*

It looks like I can do some real cool stuff with this app........if it came with decent directions.

### 1/5 — Adds make it near unusable

*2014-01-25, version 3.0*

Adds (the same one actually) pops up every 30 seconds. I know you guys got your pro version, but this is what I hate about this system. Devs release a cool app, then they release a better app, and then riddle the first one with adds on an update and pester users to upgrade or buy in-app purchases. Well, here's my response: uninstalling it as soon as I submit this review.

### 1/5 — Ehh

*2012-05-11*

Gay

### 1/5 — Just the same as any other app

*2011-08-11*

I dont know what the hype is!! To be fair it's not as crap as the bad reviews say but neither is the other extreme great..
It was hailed as the best never having to use your finger amazing results just by pointing at area. 

Anyway upshot is you DO have to use your finger same as any other app. I'm deleting and sticking to easier apps. Unless this has a tutorial which can show me somehow this is better and easier or even any tutorial would be nice uno like any other app then maybe I Would keep as is I deleting

### 1/5 — Fuige

*2011-08-04*

******* boring*******

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2011-07-08*

I am sorry but I can't make my love you pic a different color like I want too 
So pls can you fix it so I can make it from Black & White 2 Black & Hot Pink 
I hate this and keep trying new pics but still doesn't work for me !!!
Sorry

### 1/5 — Just got the app, won't let me load a photo.

*2011-05-09, version 1.8*

it keeps kicking me out of the app. When I tap on the folder, it then asks me if I want to crop my photo. Whether I answer yes or no, it quits the app. Right now it is a minus 0 in my book, but the lowest I can rate it is a 1 star.   It is repairing every game I open, making games disappear...very stressful, not fun anymore. Please fix

### 1/5 — Ad block the function

*2011-04-05*

The developer is too eager to make money.....

### 1/5 — Sux

*2011-03-31*

Good thing it was free, not as advertised

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2011-03-14*

I need it to fix
This app is bad
It makes me mad
Just like my dad
