Just having buttons and nothing is working. Fake. ### 1/5 — Pointless, a waste of valuable space *2018-02-28, version 1.1* An absolutely terrible application; would not recommend this purposeless piece of software to anyone; was not able to upload personal photographs, and, additionally, I was not enabled to change the appearance of the Default Photograph, most likely due to the fact that the “photo” is, in actuality, a painting. A very disappointing experience, and, honestly, I expected a apps of considerably higher quality from a Developer inaccurately referred to as “Best App Limited”. Either change your name to accommodate your application’s overall quality, or simply produce legitimate, completely- functioning software!! A revolting truth, which must be expressed. ### 1/5 — Oil Paint app *2018-02-16, version 1.1* Horrible. Needs to be update. Won’t let you use your own photo. Not working.
