### 1/5 — Not good anymore

*2025-11-29*

Used to be a great little app. Since upgrade, it’s just ads. The pictures are not as good and the newer format is less entertaining. Skip this one.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-03-26, version 4.1*

Don’t bother downloading it’s a awful app and I wouldn’t bother wasting your time ….

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2015-11-08, version 2.5*

This is the worst app I've ever seen. Period.

### 2/5 — Send button:

*2015-10-12, version 2.5*

"Are you will to have the Ad-Free version?"

### 1/5 — Terrible waste of money

*2015-03-29*

Can't save the results of the conversion. App prompts you to go to App Store to buy the premium version  (which I foolishly bought) whereby it promptly crashes. Not even the free version is worth your time.

Too bad because the "painting" looked pretty good.

### 1/5 — You get what you (don't) pay for

*2015-01-01*

Just a blurry photo.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2014-03-05*

Mostly all I can see that this app does is blur the original picture.  Not much oil paint effect at all.  Some blur effects might improve a landscape scene slightly.  Definitely not worth paying for; I will not be upgrading.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2013-08-05, version 2.5*

Does nothing except blur your photo . Totally useless

### 1/5 — It does nothing - negative stars

*2013-04-14, version 2.5*

It does nothing - negative stars

### 1/5 — Looks nothing like a painting

*2013-03-19, version 2.5*

Is this a joke? Photos look nothing like an oil painting! Photos looks smooth and blurred. NO canvas structure. NO depth of thick painted oil colour. Just blah.
