### 4/5 — Good app; complex but nice results

*2016-10-04, version 3.4.7*

Complex interface but great results. Good app now but refinements and improvements, particularly in options, could make this great.

### 4/5 — Missing one thing

*2013-02-25, version 3.4.2*

This app would get 5 stars if I could output to vector PDF for printing purposes, rather than really big raster pictures. Also, I think the paint texture is an unnecessary element, perhaps a way to turn that off?

### 4/5 — Paint mee

*2012-09-16, version 3.4.1*

I love this app accept I wish that it was more clear when you look at the painted pic

### 4/5 — Cool

*2012-09-16, version 3.4.1*

This apps would be one of the best on the market of it was easy to understand... Once you get the hang of it it is completely awesome.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-01-06, version 3.3*

Delightful and creative effects....one of the best around....simple but elegant. Good job ladies!

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2011-08-15, version 3.2*

I was looking for an app to convert my pix to paintings. The first one I downloaded was a disappointment. This was not. It's great and versatile.

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2011-07-17, version 3.2*

I always wanted to paint but the talent was not there.  This program is so much fun to use and you can work with any picture you have. Definitely a keeper.

### 5/5 — Fast, realistic, flexible. Very nice app.

*2011-06-15, version 3.2*

Great price - great functionality
No glitches, intuitive, terrific quality output. Nice job yo.

### 5/5 — PaintMee

*2011-05-03, version 3.2*

Great app but works best when several apps are combined

### 4/5 — Lots of Fun!

*2011-04-26, version 3.2*

Most painters who work from photo references are aware that truly great photos do NOT tend to make great painting references. Considering how easy it can be to shoot less than stellar photos with an iPhone--or any camera-- this little app ( get the upgrade so you can save large images!) can make some so-so shots look positively ARTISTIC w/a bit of delightful--& quick--experimentation...no lie! The only con I can think of is using up your battery if you're not plugged in to AC, so don't get lost in the app, which is reminiscent of Painter at its amazing level, and miss that all-important phone call...you know, that job offer you were waiting to hear about around a year ago?

Enuf blather...JUST BUY THIS APP & TELL YOUR FRIENDS!! There's plenty of range built in to keep your choices quite personalized so you're not creating your own competition...& write the developers, beg for that desktop version, PDF output, presets as in SketchMee Pro, and a slider for adjusting the light source as a special treat!

### 5/5 — PaintMee

*2010-11-14, version 0*

Amazing! You can use this to gift a friend or just to entertain yourself! I love it!

### 5/5 — PaintMee-- beyond awesome!

*2010-11-11, version 0*

Astonishing, wonderful. The real McCoy --- continues to be  fascinating with many options enabling a wide variety of artful & creative results.

### 1/5 — Best app--now broken :(

*2015-02-21, version 3.4.6*

I am a painter (oil) and I absolutely loved this app! When it was working it helped me to "see" more abstractly and to plan my artwork with that abstract quality in mind (which is actually very hard to do). 
Please fix this app! I am broken without it!

### 1/5 — Broken - was a favorite

*2015-01-27, version 3.4.6*

I loved this app. Worked fine on my iPhone 4S for the last two years. Now that I've upgraded to iPhone 6+ it is no longer working. Crashes upon launch. Please fix this once fantastic app!

### 1/5 — Malfunctioning application

*2014-12-04, version 3.4.6*

Hi, I am a new user of your application (Paintmee by Studio Mee ). I am using the latest version of operating system. I just bought your application, I am not satisfied because it isn't  working properly. It seems that the application closes on me every time I tried to launch it. What should I do? Should I make a complain to Apple customer service?  Can you please provide me a feedback. I hope you can make this up to me.

### 1/5 — Auto rotates my pictures

*2010-11-04, version 0*

I think it is a great app many different settings I like. But I can only edit my photos one way or they show up the wrong way. I have no idea how to rotate the pictures up right. Then it saves them the wrong way so I can not use them as wallpaper or anything else.

### 1/5 — Expected more from it

*2010-10-05, version 0*

I purchased another app from the same company and was quite happy with it, so was eager to try PaintMee. Unfortunately, it keeps crashing. I also have not gotten a rendered image that I liked, even after tweaking each of the different settings. Oh well.

### 1/5 — Paintmee

*2010-08-10, version 0*

Noticed upgrade was available. Delighted, did it. Big mistake! I have an iPad and really liked the app. I thought the upgrade would have been on the level of sketch me - iPad friendly. It crashes, crashes, crashes. Even with a several reboots. 

I would have gladly given them the $4.95 if they had really put out a crash free upgrade for the iPad. 

It just seems like a slick move. Why should I support them when in fact they made a conscious decision not to upgrade this product a plus sign app. ( for iPhone and iPad ) I will give them $4.95 to reverse the the upgrade and let me have the capabilities it had before this latest upgrade which renders the app hit or miss. 

They have and rendered the app unstable and limited the apps output, now they want you to pay an output that you already had. 

I'm very surprised and disappointed. I will never upgrade an app again no matter how much I like it without first reading reviews of it effects.

### 1/5 — I agree ... DON'T UPGRADE!!

*2010-08-10, version 0*

I agree with a previous reviewer. Don't buy neither! I bought it and with the upgrade they want to charge you $5 for iPhone 4 and higher resolution! Neat App but not worth it! Shame on these greedy developers. It's a shame I own their sketch mee too!  I mistakenly upgraded and am screwed now and the app is worthless for bigger prints. Going to the end of my third-rate photo apps!

### 3/5 — It used to.......

*2011-11-30, version 3.3*

It used to be good before it updated. It used to be able to paint a face and not paint over where the face it supposed to be please fix this I would like to have FACES show up when I'm using this app........ Thank you

### 3/5 — It's Okay

*2010-11-20, version 0*

It's okay. I mean, it's nice to see what all of your pictures look like in paintings but, I personally think it could be better. The pictures don't look as good as they do in the examples. It's a fun app-but doesn't have a lot.

### 3/5 — Pretty Good

*2010-11-12, version 0*

Having some fun with photos I took with my  i-phone.  I found it works pretty well.

### 5/5 — Love it!

I’ve had this app for at least 5 years and it’s amazing. I’ve NEVER had any issues and always had beautiful artsy pictures from my photos.

### 5/5 — One of the best photo into art apps

*2019-05-26, version 3.6*

Very creative.

### 5/5 — Great app

Simple to use, and the results are just stunning.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2016-06-30, version 3.4.7*

This provides fun and no end of usefulness for table settings, decorations, etc. Wonderful creative applications!

### 5/5 — Thanks for bug fixes! Super love app again.

*2015-07-17, version 3.4.7*

Thanks for bug fixes! Super love app again.

### 5/5 — This App is loads of fun!

*2013-01-22, version 3.4.2*

This us the first app I use to have some fun with my photos. I have some amazing wallpaper pictures that I rotate on my iPhone and iPad.

### 5/5 — Classy, artful, buy it you wont regret it.

*2012-10-05, version 3.4.2*

It is a new approach to image filtering using scalable vectors or something but  the app is top of the heap. One step ahead of Adobe on this one. Their art apps are all great.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2012-09-16, version 3.4.1*

This is the best app ever!!! It is great to use if you want to paint something and need some help because this app gives u a totally different perspective on how a photo should be painted.... I highly recommend this app!!!

### 5/5 — Crazy

*2012-09-14, version 3.4.1*

This is the best app I've come across in a while! The quality is rediculous.

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2012-03-19, version 3.3*

People love to receive these pictures, they react as if I painted them myself.
