Ads have scams built in *2026-02-25, version 2.22* The app seems to be great;however, when using the free side adds pop up-one of which led right into a scam claiming apple pay had been charged and I needed to call the given number……user beware! ### 3/5 — This site seems to have shutdown. ? *2026-02-04, version 2.22* A great community making lots of fun projects but as of February 2026 no photos are shown of members and the filters aren’t working. Looks to me like the site is shut down. I didn’t pay much, but still, it was for a year. ### 3/5 — Good app with a few issues *2024-11-11, version 2.22* App tends to crash a lot. I’ve had the same issue on 2 different iPads. The higher resolution levels can be slow to develop. Could be a great app. ### 3/5 — Liked it better a couple years ago *2024-10-18* We used to be able to make short little videos with music from our library. Idk when that option disappeared or why. The coolest one was a movie theater where you put your photo on the screen and it panned the theatre ending up focusing on the big screen. All while your clip played. I LOVED it. PLEASE BRING THAT BACK! ### 4/5 — Fine App *2024-05-31, version 2.22* Works well, creative, fun and lots of cool filters. ### 3/5 — Needs shortcuts support *2024-01-15, version 2.22* Would love support for apple shortcuts, ability to apple a filter from a shortcut would be amazing. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work apart from community shared *2023-07-02, version 2.22* It’s a lovely app artwise but needs investment to fix crashes and bugs ### 3/5 — Loved it at first, but now sluggish and crashes all the time. *2023-06-17* When working, this is a versatile app that produces stunning effects. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max with half a gig of memory but the app has become buggy and only works when I am at home. Even then, it is very slow, many filters won’t process a photo, and ot keeps crashing. Would like a fix to these problems. ### 4/5 — Surprisingly great but kind of annoying *2023-03-26, version 2.22* I got this app just now and it’s great but if you try to use a photo from your gallery it will auto crop it and you can’t change it ### 1/5 — Stopped Working *2023-02-13* Three weeks later I see the Community Shared filters have been updated but the app always freezes or crashes whenever I try to use them. Impossible to reach the developers. A great app when it used to work. Giving one more week then goodbye. Not paying for something that never functions. Two weeks and the app still crashes every time I try to use ‘Community Shared’ filters. No tech support - Zero. Almost a week now. Freezes every time I use ‘Community Shared’ filters. Love this app but this morning it just stopped working. Maybe it’s got the virus. Hope it’s cured soon. I use it everyday. Now it’s day 3 and still crash crash crash and Moonlighting is draining my cash cash cash. As others have pointed out, there is ZERO customer support for their apps. ### 1/5 — Did not work on iPhone 11 *2023-01-18, version 2.22* I couldn't get this app to work, it just hangs on "processing" until the screen locks. For my $.99, I got nothing but a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Updated and paid for subscription but can’t open the subscription filters?? *2023-01-13, version 2.22* Why? Not happy, after paying I can’t use the app or open the additional features, I have had a subscription before for this app and it worked well ### 2/5 — Too glitchy *2023-01-12, version 2.22* Too glitchy, constant crashes, no help with answers to questions or to requests for support. I love the filters—when they work. I’m not saying to not get this app, but be ready for a lot of frustration. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2022-12-17, version 2.22* I haven’t been able to render any graphics. Used to be great. How do I cancel my renewal for next year? ### 4/5 — Plenty of different filters *2022-10-16* Having so many filters are great. However, after transferring my Painnt altered photo to canvas and many years later, I was looking to duplicate another photo with the same filters. The problem with that was trying to find the first altered pic for the filter specs. In other words, I found the Painnt pic file, but it didn’t show what filter was used. It was difficult to duplicate by not showing my edit formats. Maybe should have some kind of edit history. Other than that, this app is a perfect filter effects editor. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-09-08, version 2.22* I’m giving up on what used to be a pretty decent app. It constantly crashes and boots me out! Then when I try to sign into my account it creates a new account instead of letting me access my old one. I can no longer justify this subscription when the app simply does not work. ### 1/5 — Non-functional *2025-09-01, version 2.22* This program simply does not work! I wasted $10 for absolutely nothing! Save your money, don’t buy this progrsm! ### 1/5 — Please fix this or I will cancel *2024-04-27, version 2.22* Crashes, very slow and no artwork. Used to be a great app. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Used to love this app *2023-11-07, version 2.22* No one runs this app and all it does is take your money. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — does not work on physical structures other than face. *2023-10-09, version 2.22* i was trying to add a filter on a plane and it looked crappy. I kept looking around and not one filter that they had looked ok. just some crappy filter app that has a watermark. ### 1/5 — Too slow *2023-09-03, version 2.22* I regret purchasing this app. ### 1/5 — They made a cool app then left the room *2023-08-15, version 2.22* They’ll happily take your money but there’s no one left to answer questions or deal with tech issues. And yeah, it crashes every time…not that they care. ### 1/5 — App don’t work *2023-06-27* Server sleeeeeeep sleeep Return the money ### 1/5 — What happened? *2023-06-11, version 2.22* I loved this app. It was glitchy sometimes, but I could manage. I’m paying for it now, and I can’t do ANYTHING. I uninstalled, and reinstalled. It’s worse. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2023-03-18* This used to be one of my favorite apps. Since I got my iPhone 14 it no longer works. It freezes, crashes or does nothing at all when you try to apply a filter. I pay for this yearly but I’m going to have to cancel it. If you have an older iPhone it’s ok but if you have an iPhone 14 sorry to say don’t waste your money. I have sent numerous emails about the issues and no one has gotten back to me. It’s a shame such a wonderful app is now unusable! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-07-27, version 2.22* The creative mind is here. I love every design option. Everything has a purpose. I am all about purpose. I am grateful. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-12-17, version 2.22* One of the best painting app out there ### 5/5 — Creative *2024-01-27, version 2.22* Just resubscribed … fun app, let your imagination run wild. and give yourself an edge look on your photos. ### 5/5 — Versatile and cogent *2023-10-01, version 2.22* This is a wonderful app that not only has a great variety of styles available, it also has great pixel ranges and even some kewl animation from still images. I highly recommen. Vern ### 5/5 — Painnt *2022-09-01, version 2.22* Excellent art ### 5/5 — Great for featured blog images *2021-12-19, version 2.22* I pick a theme/style and use it on some of my web site’s post lists to enhance the text and brand the categories. Love it! ### 5/5 — My Favorite… *2021-10-29* This is my favorite graphics app. Paid subscription is worth it to me, and I only have a subscription to one other app. I love that I can create my own custom filters. You can avoid crashes by starting out with a lower resolution then choose a higher one right before you want to save it. I save in high res most of the time. Sometimes it takes a bit to render. My only problem is that I have too many favorites, I need more room to save more… Please :) :) ### 5/5 — Great Choiced *2021-05-17, version 2.22* Painnt gives me many options to transform a painting. Instead of repainting a canvas over and over, I can see different views and then paint - often employing parts of different Painnt images. ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-05-09, version 2.22* I love the many filters provided. You get great results and learning how to use is quick and simple. ### 5/5 — Excellent so far *2021-03-15, version 2.22* I have had a blast using this app. Excellent choices. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
