### 5/5 — Art Redux

*2024-10-16, version 2.8.1*

I love this app. I make my own drawings. Then I use this to take subpar drawings to a place I had no idea they could go. And sometimes used on my favorite pieces too. Chefs kiss!

### 3/5 — Fun app, but needs just a few improvements

*2024-09-23, version 2.8.1*

I really enjoy this app. However, there are just 2 things that would make it a better experience. 1. It needs to remember my export settings. It always defaults back to jpeg for export. 2. The image quality is not that good on export. I want to be able to blow up and print the images for my own artwork in my house, but the exported images quality, despite selecting the highest settings is not that good. Fix these two things and I will give 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Fun, beautiful effects

*2024-06-28, version 2.8.1*

Percolator often can change an ordinary photo into something surprisingly beautiful

### 5/5 — Still one of my favourites/Dear developers wish list

*2024-05-29, version 2.8.1*

This app is still one of my favourite go to apps for creating interesting images even after all this time! <3 
Dear developers, 
Three things on my wish list 😜 
1) The ability to save & name a particular set of choices
2) the ability to see which iteration of choices the stir function has used.
3) the ability to choose to load the last used set of choices

### 5/5 — Love this App!

*2024-04-25, version 2.8.1*

What an awesome tool to enhance my art and photography!

### 5/5 — A great app for creating effects

*2024-03-22, version 2.8.1*

### 5/5 — Perfect for my nerves to calm me down creatively

*2024-03-19, version 2.8.1*

This is a neat app... creative and fun with another bonus... I find it incredibly calming, as I am ADHD. Must watching the bubbles is a good de-stressor. Love it!

### 5/5 — Please add more example arts.

*2024-03-16, version 2.8.1*

First of all, thank you for the update. My only request at this time is that you guys add more examples. 

With Kindest Regards

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2024-01-15, version 2.7.01*

Love the options, easy and fun to use!  Some of the results are so interesting and beautiful!  Which there was a ‘back’ or ‘undo’ button, and some way to record what treatments were applied, but other than that, this is one of my favorite photo apps!!

*2022-11-03, version 2.6.1*

I love this app for suggesting abstractions and creating and element of play in my preparatory work.  I Truly truly hope you’ll keep this app going as iterations of iOS and iPad continue to change.  I love circles, love this app and it may become more important as my work progresses.  Thank you!!!

### 1/5 — Art Redux

*2024-06-23*

I like this app for a couple of reasons. It helps when I am unable to make my own art. It also gives a new perspective. I can then draw it anew.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2024-03-27, version 2.8.1*

Try to open and it just crashes

### 1/5 — I paid for this ?

*2022-08-28, version 2.6.1*

Wow, what a waist of money. But thanks for the effort….

### 1/5 — Percolator

*2014-06-09, version 2.4*

Rubbish, doesn't work. Download at your peril. He stands by his rubbish work? I got iPhone 5s and waterlogue and percolator don't work. Open apps and they crash, useless

### 1/5 — Lentiiiiisimo y malo

*2012-12-01, version 2.0*

Es lentisimo, pero lento lento de verdad, la foto queda irreconocible , un auténtico timo!!!

### 1/5 — Not as good as it looks

*2012-11-30, version 2.0*

It makes most photos nearly unrecognizable even on finest settings, unlike you're into the "modern art" thing, there isn't much to get out of this app, regardeless of its price (free or not)

### 1/5 — In meinen Augen "SCHROTT"

*2012-05-18, version 2.0*

Fotos werden entweder total unkenntlich gemacht oder der gewollte Effekt geht verloren.

### 1/5 — Not Suitable for All Images

*2012-04-03, version 2.0*

I am really sorry - I am sure a lot of work has gone into the development of this app, and as an app it is great and well designed - but I don't get the point of the effect it produces! It looks neither artistic nor nice to me and whilst it may add some sort of a 60s feel to "some", I stress, "some" images which have been carefully composed and colour co-ordinated from the onset of capture, to most everyday pictures, it does nothing whatsoever!!!

### 1/5 — Orrendo

*2012-03-25, version 2.0*

Non compratelo, soldi spesi inutilmente!

### 1/5 — Didnt like it

*2012-02-17, version 2.0*

This must be free app !!!
Dont worth it all

While away some minutes and make beautiful mosaics.

### 5/5 — I have had this app for 10 plus years

*2025-10-26, version 2.9.3*

Let me know if you have ever thought of adding different grinds and what do those extras do under black etc?  Stirred?? Don’t see any difference whatsoever.  Paper bag, cup ?
Let me know please because I really do still love it but at 74 yo I want to experience more.
Thank you
