Buggy

The actually art part is pretty cool, despite I couldn’t find tools like smudge. This program is painfully laggy, I have a Apple IPad that I’m using for this and it just randomly crashes, glitches the screen, and when I saved a project and reloaded it, it shuffled up all of the layer names. I feel like this could do good, it just needs some bug fixes.

APP COOL IN THEORY

App would be great if it worked but it just crashes I deleted and reinstalled to see if that would help but now I can’t even I
Open the app really upset because I can’t even request a refund

I’ve been waiting for something like this!

It crashed on me once already and there’s a few issues with the menus not resizing properly when I rotate my device, but I think this is such a great concept. I’ve been looking for this exact thing for a long time.

Yup

This is the status quo for hui and software. I’ll find bugs I’m sure but 5 to start. Instabuy!

Interesting app but.... has weird behaviour

When I tested this app, I am expecting the exported JPG to be perfectly equirectangular for viewing on FB, but there is this weird distortion that is unexpected. I wonder if this is a bug?

UPDATE:
If I imported an equirectangular photo first, suddenly I realized I need to paint with distorted perspective.... Would be nicer if PanoPainter can auto project the 6 CUBE viewing into proper equirectangular. Maybe?

So I noticed this random distorted export, but rotating the iPad from Portrait to Landscape gives me the correct result.

Need a way to maybe copy paste layer between document. Need more brushes options.

On iPad Pro 2016, 8K, 16K, 32K, prone to crashing.

Can it be improved? It has huge potential!!
