Avant, je pouvais voir se mettre à jour les pastilles qui m’indiquaient la couleur choisie, maintenant la pastille ne se met à jour que si j’ouvre l’application (pourtant ouverte en arrière plan.) Je suis sur iPhone 15. ### 4/5 — Before you buy!!!! *2023-04-05* Before you create a ID go to ellusionist’s website and watch the warning video. I’m SO GLAD I read the reviews on here before I did. You guys really need to update the warning video before allowing people to create usernames. However, with that being said, this is a strong effect. I’ve done it several times already without a hitch and the reactions are amazing. Well worth the money for sure. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work.... *2020-09-30, version 1.6* I created my ID, tried to type the ID on my laptop and it says “Safari can’t find the server” ### 3/5 — Not pro yet. *2020-05-07* The app seems to be in Beta Test still. There are lots of technical as well as structural problems that need solving. In consequence the app is still to unreliable to use with confidence. Ellusionist is aware of the issues and has started fixing some of them. But there is still much bug fixing to do. For the price of more than 30€ a better quality at release could have been expected. I‘m giving three stars⭐️⭐️⭐️, because the tutorial quality is really good and because it is still possible to perform, if you accept limited functionality and find a way around the bugs. Looking forward to giving five stars soon for a release that is bug proof. ### 2/5 — Nice idea, but... *2020-05-06* Oh man, when I saw the trailer vids, my head was full of ideas how to perform this. Now I am quite disappointed. (EDIT) Notifications (none of them) are not changing automatically. The updates so far (Version 1.3) did not solve the issue. Will change to 5 stars when the issues are solved, but not for now. **Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry to hear you've been having issues. There's been an update since this release that solve a lot of the problems and concerns that have been raised by the community, including reliability improvements in the push notifications and haptic feedback system. We hope the latest update helps! ### 3/5 — App does not work *2020-05-01, version 1.0* Nothing but a black screen. ### 4/5 — Great app *2020-05-01, version 1.0* WARNING! You need to watch the intro video on the Ellusionist site prior to logging in for the first time otherwise you can create a headache for yourself. Watch that video on the product page first then you’re good to go 🙂 that video should be part of the app when you first open it though ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2020-04-30, version 1.0* Now able to perform an effect I’d dreamed of performing for years without having to spend hundreds of ££!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-04-30, version 1.0* For anyone with the ‘Black Screen’ issue, swipe down with two fingers. Also go on the E website to watch the tutorial ### 1/5 — Stuck on black screen *2020-04-30, version 1.0* Hi all @ Ellusionist, I’ve created my account but I’m now stuck on a black screen. Where are the instructions? How are we supposed to use the app? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2022-05-26* Defunded not even usable. -SCAM- ### 1/5 — Updated *2022-03-27, version 2.4* I cannot open the app after updated. Running iPhone iOS 15.4 ;( ### 1/5 — WTH *2021-08-27* Should have heeded the reviews, but it said the bugs were fixed. Paid and set up and then nothing but a black screen. Couldn’t get it off. What do I do? What are you going to do for me after taking my money? Thank you ### 1/5 — Buyer Beware *2020-11-14* Do NOT buy anything from this company ever. They have very, very bad customer service, iffy products and now this app doesn’t work because they’re...rebranding I guess? Yeah, just stay away. ### 1/5 — You’ve got to be kidding *2020-06-18* After purchasing the app, you open the app. To view the instructions you are required to create an account. When creating an account, you are required to fill in a performer ID. It says, “This performer ID cannot be changed after you create it!” Once you create an account and click Submit, you'll be redirected to the instructions website. Now you can see the instructions. The first video you see, in the first 10 seconds, he says, “Before you do anything else, do not create your performer ID! Don’t create your Performer ID yet because… And don’t use this sort of thing in your Performer ID because…." Obviously this doesn't make any sense... You require us to create a Performer ID before showing us the instructions (and the first tip in the instructions is "Don't create your Performer ID yet!" ### 1/5 — When it works it’s ok *2020-05-02* The problem is that it’s unreliable. I’m getting random color vibrations. No push notifications. It doesn’t adjust aspect ration to screen size. So some phones it’s cut off. Laptops it’s cut off. Useless like a cat with a blender. **Developer response:** Hi Scott, we're sorry to hear you've been having issues. There's been an update since this release that solve a lot of the problems and concerns that have been raised by the community, including reliability improvements in the push notifications and haptic feedback system. We hope the latest update helps! ### 1/5 — Black screen *2020-05-01, version 1.0* Only see a black screen. Tried to fully close and restart...nothing. Tried to delete and reinstall...nothing. Please fix your app. ### 1/5 — I SHOULD have listened to the reviews! *2020-05-01* I bought this after Lloyd Barnes mentioned a small bug was fixed after its release. But like a previous review, I downloaded it and registered but afterward my screen just went black rendering it unusable. **Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry to hear you've been having issues. There have been a couple of updates since the initial release that solve a lot of the problems and concerns that have been raised by the community, including making the initial onboarding considerably simpler for our customers. We hope the latest update helps! ### 1/5 — Black Screen Also *2020-04-30* As soon as account was created the screen went blank. Need some support on this. Already emailed company, waiting for reply **Developer response:** Hi Adam, we're sorry to hear you've been having issues. There have been a couple of updates since the initial release that solve a lot of the problems and concerns that have been raised by the community, including making the initial onboarding considerably simpler for our customers. We hope the latest update helps! ### 1/5 — Ooof.... *2020-04-30* Yeah guys... you took a 12 year old idea and made it rubbish. The original effect is brilliant but you pushed out a product that is UNFINISHED or at the very least unrefined. Also LLYOD BARNES fancies telling the users it is our fault for not not doing our diligence and it being all user errors. Who does that?! Stop blaming others for your inadequate product mate. **Developer response:** Hi there. Oof indeed, and we apologise for not making everything a little clearer from the get go. We've since released a couple of updates that considerably improve the initial onboarding experience and stability of Picasso and will continue releasing updates as a direct result of feedback we receive from the community. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Picasso pro *2021-08-09* If your thinking about buying this but change your mind because of the reviews please come back and buy this! There were bugs on this until ellusionist fixed them. Those bad reviews were from old times when there were bugs on the app. But it is all fixed now! ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2020-10-16, version 1.6* I have performed is many times for both large and small groups and it kills! There are so many ways to get the information from the spectator so it’s impossible to miss. I’ve had zero issues with the app and the developers are forever updating the app, very happy :) ### 5/5 — Its a Magic App *2020-06-10* Gute App für Profizauberer. Der Preis erscheint im ersten Moment hoch, ist jetzt nach dem grundlegenden Update sein Geld allerdings wert😊. Die App ist gut durchdacht und die Video Instruktionen und der Support sind super. Ich würde es wiederkaufen ### 5/5 — Nice one *2020-05-24, version 1.3* Good design overall, instruction are crashing for me (iPhone 6) Please add Apple Watch support also! ### 5/5 — Great idea at a brilliant price *2020-05-12, version 1.3* Love performing this. Yes there are a few glitches and developments happening but once actioned this could be unstoppable. Definitely a game changer! ### 5/5 — Fixed and Works Like a Charm! *2020-05-07* The developer fixed my issues and this app now works to perfection. 5 stars easily! ### 5/5 — Now finished. *2020-05-05* They’ve fixed everything, and it works great! **Developer response:** Hi, We're sorry to hear of your issues. We're continually releasing updates as a result of direct feedback from the community and hope the latest update improves your experience. To answer some of your specific points: We do keep the peek screen on, however setting your device to low power mode overrides what Picasso's asked the device to do. The push notification system has seen considerable updates as has the haptic feedback system. Text to Speech relies on your device being in a supported language; it also won't activate if the system's audio settings would cause the resultant speech to play out of the built in speaker. There's a Diagnostics panel accessible from the Options screen in the latest version that'll give you readouts of all of this information. If you need additional help, don't hesitate to contact us at support@ellusionist.com where we'd be happy to help you out further. ### 5/5 — Color match! *2020-05-04, version 1.1* Amazing app! ### 5/5 — FANTASTIC *2020-05-02, version 1.0* What a fabulous colour match this is. You are able to create any subject. So easy to set & also perform. There are numerous ways to peek. All you need in your pocket. Is your phone & your prediction. ### 5/5 — Great *2020-05-01, version 1.0* Great piece! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
