I like how you can actually change the color of the picture and how big the dots are!!! Although it doesn't keep you occupied for long, it is really awesome!!!!!!!😋 ### 4/5 — Great for artsy photos *2013-09-20* I'm an artist, so I like to fool around with photos and see what I can do to make them more creative. This app is one of my favorites for that purpose. ### 4/5 — Very nice *2013-03-17, version 1.5* Good, simple interface, very easy to experiment with photos. ### 3/5 — The name says it all *2013-03-15* This app is pointless really it doesn't do anything adding dots nothing else ### 5/5 — Worth a try *2012-10-29, version 1.2.1* Thought it may look cool but not my kind of thing. Top marks for effort though ### 5/5 — Love it! *2012-10-23, version 1.2.1* Love the app. Lots of fun for an artistic type. ### 5/5 — Weeniejoyce *2012-10-23, version 1.2.1* Very cool ### 5/5 — Nice and weird *2012-10-22* Once you start playing around with the settings you can get some really nice pseudo-psychedelic pix that look almost nothing like the examples above -- they look more like those freaky, strangely colored, Eye posters for 2001: A Space Odyssey. If you like making weird pictures, give this a try and you'll find a use for it. ### 5/5 — Dotty *2012-09-29, version 1.2.1* Good app for photo effect. Turn existing or new pics into dot pictures plenty to customise worth getting for your photo app colllection ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — don’t waste your money *2019-04-21, version 1.8.1* don’t buy this app, it’s really not worth it. doesn’t actually give you a good pointillist effect. ### 1/5 — Blare *2018-04-04* Terrible ### 1/5 — I’d suggest not.... *2017-11-29* There are too few settings for this application to appropriately modify your photos. Pretty disappointed. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your dollar. *2017-07-04, version 1.6.5* Very limited editing tools. I expect more from a paid for application (even for a dollar). ### 1/5 — Do Not Buy. *2014-10-14, version 1.6.3* This app has adverts for other apps. Not what you expect after paying for it. Yet another refund from apple I think! ### 1/5 — Washes out any color *2013-07-21, version 1.5* this app wants it all in a monochrome, can't handle multiple colors at all. ### 1/5 — Not so good *2013-03-17* Pointillist image created from camera roll photo not very "pointillist". Resulting image has large expanses of light & dark areas w/ a few dots in between. Also, app changes image colors to unnatural ones. ### 1/5 — Nothing spectacular *2012-10-22, version 1.2.1* Tried it and deleting it. ### 2/5 — new form of shading *2012-10-23* eeh it's ok. Nothing spectacular. You need to choose the rite photograph with just the right amount of shading to make the new picture turn out so it doesn't look like a big blob. ### 3/5 — Jury is still out *2017-02-17, version 1.6.5* I am a 30 year veteran of the Pointillist technique (pen & ink). The first image I tried with this app, (used without altering anything manually) was promising. Since then, I just don't know. I am going to try deleting the app, reinstalling and run it once again. We shall see... I will say that this app certainly has the potential to be tremendously helpful, but for now, I'm just not sure. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — nice, simple *2019-10-19* it’s a very simple app but it gets the job done! if you like the idea of the pointillism effect, this app can definitely do it ### 5/5 — Make a pure art！ *2015-04-10* With well-lightened photos,it can omit the undesired details and make an art ### 5/5 — Excellent *2014-12-06, version 1.6.3* Well Worth a Getting!!! ### 5/5 — Brilliant Art!!! *2014-05-06, version 1.6.2* It makes masterpieces with special flavor. Fantastic APP!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Very cool *2014-05-03* I think it is very nice to turn everything I love into pixels and arrange it how I want it to be. ### 5/5 — Create Beautiful Art *2014-03-08* This app does just one thing, but does it beautifully. Great control of colors, detail, and final output size. ### 5/5 — Quite nice *2013-03-15* Creating a work of art includes patience and persistence. Apply those to this app and you can get some stunning results. ### 5/5 — Fun app *2012-12-02* These effects can give a great look to an uninteresting photo. Fun to ply with. ### 5/5 — Great for photography *2012-11-23* I can make photos look really cool ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-11-21, version 1.2.1* Awesome app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
