### 5/5 — incredible

*2025-01-23*

Incredible and smart app, I wish this company made more art related apps since this one is just so perfect. I get some crashes sometimes but I guess I put files too heavy for my device.

### 5/5 — Great tool to artsy up your photos

*2022-11-24*

All in all a brilliant tool to create artsy photos. Love it!

### 4/5 — Fun App! One Comment…

*2022-08-22*

Love this app. A ton of fun and easy way to create abstract compositions. My only request would be to be able to export at higher resolutions/better quality.

### 5/5 — One of the Best Creative Apps In Years!

*2022-04-10*

“It has been a very long time since I found myself lost for hours in a unlimited creative loop on my phone or even my computer!” 

If your are interested in a unique experience creatively and have been looking for that great next app, this is it! I am in love with the endless creative possibilities that this app has provided with such unique movable and zoomable overlays reminiscent of old glass from ages past to Surrealistic sandblasted explosions. The amount of overlays provided from the start seemed endless as I tried every variance possible with glee and excitement, only to find that I could import my own images and turn them into overlays. WHAT!!!! Mind Blown to now even more creative uniqueness. 

This app is worth every penny of the price of admission! 

If I can ask for anything from the designers it is this. Please do not make this app a subscription. I will happily pay individually for every creative add-on you offer but I will never subscribe!

### 5/5 — Best Abstract Photo Effect in the app store

*2022-03-29*

I have used so many abstract photo app fxs: I have used fxs from apps like picsart, trigraphy, photoleap, hyperspektiv, glitche, mextures and many others. I have tried A LOT of fxs and put them all heavily through their paces trying to find the best ones... 

If you are into digital modern art and paintings and abstract or surreal art &/or glitch fxs this is a MUST. 

This app basically allows you to morph any photo into something new and it will look really good - just by pushing your finger around the image.

Its the best image fx I have found for abstracting an image to make it into something completely new while also not degrading the image quality in the process (as so often happens with other apps!). The end images also looking convincing (even like paint textures at times) and they retain their high quality and professional look.

A really cool feature is that you can import your own custom image to use as the ‘glitch fx’, making this app infinitely endless in its potential to manipulate your photos and also giving you a chance to use your own unique images to create fxs that no one else can create! You can define your own style really easily this way and create your own unique fxs by being creative with your image choices.

Not only does it look amazing, but it is really easy to use as well - making it even more fun to make art.

I have no idea how the developer came up with this fx, but its genius. Thanks to the developer. So much you can do to make awesome art with this one fx. 

I would trade all of the above apps for this fx alone and photoshop has nothing that compares to this app’s fx. 

Bottom line: if you are even remotely interested in creating abstract art fxs do yourself a favor and get this app.
