Crashes Immediately
I can't even explore the possibilities of this app. It crashes Immediately.
Truly amazing
I use it a lot for surf photography. It can transform a marginal shot into an amazing one. Even if the original is out of focus. It really brings out an entirely new perspective on one’s photos. Love it!
One of my favorites
Great app. I particularly like the Painteresque 2 for a watercolor effect. Easy to use for a new dimension to your photographs.
Won’t save images
Upgraded to iPhone XS Max. App no longer saves images after processing.
Response from developer
Update 2.2 (just out) should fix it.
It's 2017!
UPDATE pleaseeeee!!!
Amazing and beautiful !!!
Hands down my most favorite processing app now for several years in a row!! Absolutely stunning and amazing with nature portraiture, landscapes and architecture!!
Great fine-tuning options too!
No other app has this level of aesthetics in the resulting image!

What a waste of money
Want to edit .... You get a tiny little picture of your photo in a box, up at the top. You can barely see what's happening until you hit done. Each step, have to hit done, then wait while it loads. You spend 90% of time waiting for stuff to load. Same with a preset. Doesn't scroll through. You have to load each and everytime. There are so many other apps out there that are far better than this mess.

You can drag the preview icon larger if you wish.
An Exceptional Effects App
This was my first photo effects app when it came out in version 1. I loved its simplicity - turning me from a so-so snap shooter into a creator of art works I loved. I still go back to my earliest edits with appreciation, and some of my friends like them best. With version 2 I have more control thanks to the fine tuning option. Today I use Painteresque mostly as one stage of my effects as there is nothing else quite like it. Thank you for an inspiring app that has more flexibility than first appears and does what it does with no fuss and beautifully. It's worth every penny. Well done.

Super!
Easy to use. Turns good photos into great pictures!
Not impressed
Hate all the choices I find them very amateurish at best! Waste of money!
Super Awesome ! ! ! !
Paintersque is my number one favor ! Many people asked me how to do that !
I use my iPhone 5 all time , just shoot and Paintersque and send. That is real easy. I will frame many picturesque pictures.

She's a Beauty
A one of a kind image processes. Nothing else does this kind of magic. This is unique and the results are beautiful. You will learn quickly what works and what does not. Landscape and architecture are consistently amazing.
Mad Love
This is my favorite photo filter by far and I have them all. I would give this app 10 stars if I could!
Used on the right pictures and with judicious restraint it makes textures really pop. I particularly love Painteresque for stone, wood, foliage and fur. Simply stunning on most textured objects. It does not look good on smooth surfaces such as skin or sky.
Props to Simon Funk for making such a fantastic filter app. Please consider making Painteresque available for as an app for the Mac. I would love to be able to easily use in in conjunction with Photoshop. Right now I’m doing this but it is cumbersome to have to import the photos between the iPad and Mac

Great update for iOS 8
Finally updated and works great and super fast with iOS 8. Such a fabulous app. Works great for pets and for cityscapes.

It's fun it lets you fine tune the photo they way you like It. If your into photoshop for fun and eye catching pictures it does Rock. A real plus in addition to any photoshop bag of tricks.
Wonderful!!!!!!
I live in a American Victorian town. This app allows us to take an old photo and make it more interesting and artistic for marketing brochures.
Disappointed
There's no preview of what the fine tuning might possibly be doing and then no opacity control which would also help fine tune. Very slow to process. I like the look and would use it if I hand some ability to control the final product. I'll wait for upgrades...you should too
Always Amazing...and 2.0 Update is like Steroids!
The 2.0 update with "Style" function is unbelievable! The ability to get under the hood and fine-tune the settings and save presets (plus the addition of several useful stock presets) makes this a whole new ball game for Painteresque.

Painteresque is original and different--the kind of boutique-y app you get after you have all your core editing tools and you're looking for some special pizzazz. It provides an output that's riveting and unlike any other.
As a Photoshop user for 19 years (used to its price, plus plugs $) I'm always game to spend a couple of bux to try an innovative iOS app like Painteresque. As with all other fx apps, I don't look at the output as final; I subtly layer it into the image. And again, when Painteresque hits the mark, it's a beautiful sight!
As a painter, I can't say Painteresque images are discernibly painterly--even in an "-esque" fashion, but that obviously takes nothing away from Painteresque's extreme utility.
No matter how you slice it: recommended. And a big cigar to the Dev!

New Favorite!
With 20+ apps that change photographs into art, I thought I had everything and then I discovered Painteresque. The basic 2 styles produce the "dirtied" image that looks like a lithograph. With a few exceptions (very light images, faces, and images without detail) the style is amazing and creates images I've blown up to 17x13 and look like true illustrations. The Rainbow, Mars, and Portrait are my least favorite styles, but when you find the photo for them, they work like magic!
In my wishlist for this app are more levels of Painteresque style, adjustable effects, layers, and edges. Get this!

Great for Scrapbooking
I like Paintersque so much that I recommended in in my book "Scrapbooking on the iPad"
