### 5/5 — Best App

*2025-05-07*

Amazing app!  Simple to use without being an app expert!  Great results  so fast you won’t believe it.  Quality of watercolor results is exceptional…on par many times like a professional watercolor artist. Love the style options, size options, output options.  I would say this app is minimalist in a great way…only the features you need and no confusion.   Just really enjoying this app.  I hope they continue to build more apps like this…5 Star!!!

### 5/5 — Best of best

*2024-02-21*

출시된지 10년이 넘었지만 이 분야에서 이 정도 퀄리티의 앱이 없다. 
물감이 종이에 스며든 흔적이 매우 자연스럽고, 초점의 영향으로 변화되는 이미지가 일품이다. 다른 앱도 더 만들길.

### 5/5 — Thanks for the updates

*2024-02-19, version 2.5*

Love This Beautiful Application. Hope there will be more features (artistic) in the upcoming releases. 

With kindest Regards-BR

### 5/5 — Birthday bouquet

*2023-01-26, version 2.4.1*

I use it as under wash for a watercolor and now I will do line work on top of it…..and sell it for use as a note card.

### 4/5 — Love this program!

*2022-11-17, version 2.4.1*

The only downside is that I can’t find a desktop version!

### 5/5 — Creates unique artwork.

*2022-09-06, version 2.4.1*

Love the app when I want to create the specific type of artwork. Recent update is great.

### 2/5 — Don’t buy

*2022-04-01, version 2.3.7*

There is no way that the photos they are promoting are done on this app. I’ve tried every app by this company and the filters do not pick up in detail! Every photo looks like a mess!
