It is worth it but I wish the "tool box" was easier to bring back up. Otherwise I love it! ### 4/5 — Helpful *2012-12-31* I wish I could stop the proses whenever I need so study more on layers or at least control speed. Other than that I love it and it helped me a lot to see thing differently. ### 4/5 — Paint Mee Lite *2012-11-26* I have to say that I actually would recommend this app for someone is lies to play around with photographs & has aspirations of getting the edited pictures framed or made into Christmas cards or thank you notecards, as I have. With my new IPad, I have downloaded A LOT of photo editing apps and this is one of the best. Once you understand the 'tweaks' that you have to make to make the oil painting to your taste - you'll be acing lots of fun. 4* app. I will be buying the Paint Mee complete app. I really hope that I won't be let down like other apps ... When you download the complete app and it's no different to the freebie taster lite edition. I doubt it. With the advanced app, u get more layers of paint to chose from which WILL make a picture STUNNING! TREAT YOURSELF AND BUY THIS! :-) ### 3/5 — Still trying it, interesting so far *2012-05-02, version 3.3.1* Not bad, maybe my expectations were too high? ### 3/5 — 조금 아쉽... *2012-04-20* 저장 기능이 없는게 좀 아쉽네요... ### 4/5 — Awesome *2012-02-22, version 3.3* Good and captures everything perfectly ### 3/5 — Good *2012-02-08, version 3.3* It doesn't draw my pics good:( ### 4/5 — Can't save but love this app *2011-12-09, version 3.3* I am enjoying by painting different pictures,I love it. ### 5/5 — THIS is how you do it! *2011-11-09* If you're a company that creates an app, follow THIS ones blueprint! THIS is how you gain and keep customers loyal to your brand. I'm a producer and artist and use this app to create my storyboards for my projects, among many other therapeutic uses when I'm stressed out from a crazy road schedule. PLUS, I got all of this beneficial use for my business with THIS APP FIRST....the "lite" version. (FAR FROM IT) THE FULL VERSION is so worth the extra features and the price, but I've made a decent use of this app for years before I felt I needed the full version. This company knows what it's doing and other companies should just carbon copy this ones standard operating procedures. If you did, I'd be most likely to check your app out and be very loyal as your customer base. CHEERS TO THE GOOD PEOPLE AT "MEE"....I'm with ya because ya earned my $! To anyone else, GET THIS APP!! IT ROCKS!!! ### 5/5 — Fabulous and fun app *2011-11-04, version 3.3* Makes unique "paintings" from your favorite photos. Lots of effects, lots of fun! ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2011-10-30, version 3.2* It's beautiful and it's easy. I'd like a little more control maybe by adding my own strokes, but this app is axing as-is. ### 5/5 — Can't save but good app *2011-09-04, version 3.2* Can't save it, I screen shoot it and save it though. Love watching it paint. ### 4/5 — Wow *2011-09-03, version 3.2* I like it ### 5/5 — Cute & easy *2011-06-21* Super easy to use! You can save. Just press the home button and the off button. Get it! Just take a picture ### 4/5 — Take a Picture *2011-06-04* This app is amazing! You should totally get it! For those if you complaining about not saving a picture, take a screenshot! Press the home button and the off button at the same time and it will take a picture!! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2011-04-24* This adds a great character to all of the photos that are taken and it makes my art look better ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It crashes *2010-11-28, version 0* It crashes right In the middle when it's painting ### 1/5 — Yuk *2010-10-15, version 0* Nothing great and nothing I will use! ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time with this *2010-09-23, version 0* This isn't a "light" version, it's a crippled trial version. I'm surprised Apple approved it for the store. ### 1/5 — Waste of time downloading *2010-09-16, version 0* You down load this program try it and then can't save it unless you buy the "pay for" version. Bait and switch is plain dishonest. ### 1/5 — It is rubish. *2010-04-25* Sorry can't give any star bco it's is rubish ### 1/5 — Paintmee *2010-04-08* You cannot save your pictures neither ### 1/5 — Don't get the lite version *2009-12-03* Theres no point getting this app because you cannot save your pictures. I enjoyed playing around with it for abit but then was very dissapointed when I could not save. Waste of time!! ### 2/5 — Boring *2012-04-13* It doesn't work at all... Maybe it's my phone but i'm very desapointed. ### 2/5 — Needs improvements... *2011-04-06, version 3.2* Works well... However... Creations can not be saved to the photo library! I won't select to save in Facebook as you have to agree to give them full access to your Facebook information... Huge invasion of privacy!! ### 2/5 — かなりいいですよ。 *2010-10-30* 素人でも簡単に美麗な水彩画風／油絵風への変換が可能ですね。 でも、保存がＮGなのはちょっとガッカリ。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2020-01-17* These apps of yours make very unique photos when editing. I have never seen anything like these effects on any application. 5 stars 😀 ### 5/5 — Very Cool!!! *2015-07-15* Very nice! I love this app!! ### 5/5 — Simply stunning! *2013-05-24* This is the most creative & original painting programme on the App Store no question.
