I'm using it on ipad pro m4 but using some tools (especially when brush size is big) make the app laggy. 2. Apple pencil's barrel roll doesn't work. 3. There isn't a option to draw smooth lines. In most of the time lines are jittery. ### 3/5 — Circle tool problem *2025-11-19, version 2.10* Thank you for finally updating the app to support Apple Pencil Pro hover. There is a problem with the compass (circle tool)— when I try to move the circle guide it snaps back to the center. And trying to change to an ellipse doesn’t stay, it snaps back to a circle. ### 3/5 — Giao diện đẹp *2025-10-02, version 2.00* Giao diện đẹp nhưng cần phải nâng cấp nhiều, với giá này so với các app khác không thấy đáng giá lắm. Cọ vẽ không mượt. Khó sửa dụng. Nên chọn art set 4 vẫn hơn. Cùng giá tiền nhưng bên kia tiện ích hơn nhiều ### 3/5 — Dommage que il est plus d’évolutions et correction des buts *2025-09-30, version 2.00* l’application serait parfaite si certains bugs très ennuyants seraient corrigés, comment ceux dans les mélanges dans la palette que introduisent un couleur « marron » (de la palette elle même) dans le mélange ! ça gâche complètement cette fonctionnalité, aussi pouvoir avoir un « undo » dans le mélanges de la palette aussi, ou avoir un fond blanc dans la palette, bref, on dirait que la application n’est plus mantenue depuis longtemps temps.;;. ### 4/5 — 色のなじみが綺麗 *2025-09-01, version 2.00* 他のペイントアプリも買っていたので、迷いましたが、インターフェイスのかっこよさに負けて購入しました！万年筆やゴールドペンなどは別途800円(１つ150円、全部だと800円)で購入が必要です。 水彩の色なじみもいいですが、油絵のなじみが綺麗です。筆の大小は変更できますが、透明度は変更できません。水彩を乾かす機能はありませんから、レイヤーでどうにかするのかな？と思います。 油絵の時はパレットで色を混ぜることもできます。 今の所お願いとしては、 *筆圧硬度が強すぎて、1番低くしても、鉛筆のH、2Hが書けないことです。筆圧硬度の設定を下げてください！ *他の方がpsd出力を希望していますが、せめてPNG出力できて、背景が透明になるとありがたいです。 ### 3/5 — I wish I could rate this 5 stars but.. *2025-02-20, version 2.00* This app is amazing and the tutorial section alone is worth it personally... when it works. The app crashes way too much without any autosaving. I wish there was an option menu to lower settings or turn off functions, such as having lower resolution images of the tools, in order to run it better. ### 2/5 — Cute *2025-02-14, version 2.00* For the price, fine, and it looks neat. It doesn’t mix paints realistically, but as with most, essentially rgb. It is unlike the pigmented “mixbox” K&M style color mixing like in Rebelle Pro (not on ipad), or Artstudio Pr. ### 3/5 — Is the app abandoned? *2025-02-07, version 2.00* It’s been years since they updated the app, and the developer won’t respond to social media or email, it makes me wonder if the app is abandoned. It would be nice to support Apple Pencil Pro hover, barrel roll and squeeze. Also I wish it supported Family Sharing, instead you have to buy it again for every family member’s device. ### 3/5 — No updates in over 3 years?? *2024-12-20, version 2.00* Surely by now you would have introduced or improved on your interface, brush techniques and other paints etc. There’s always room for improvement etc. Unless you are now deceased due to illness, or fatally killed in a war zone? ### 5/5 — Best artistic software even on iPad! *2024-12-13, version 2.00* I’ve tried basically every single drawing software on the market, procreate included, but nothing beats the look and feel of realistic paint, even on iPad. Hope this app will keep getting updates and refinements because I’m seriously developing an addiction to it :D ### 3/5 — Tweaks needed but solid *2024-12-10, version 2.00* We’ve paid for the desktop version and were thrilled to see that it got an App Store port: solid app if your not looking for all the bells and whistles something like the desktop only rebelle will get you. Our biggest wishlist to the dev team is a gradient tool and bigger brush sizes- atm it’s a pain to fill a page with a wash that serves as that “first coat” in an illustration because the brushes just aren’t big enough to do it quickly with minimal strokes. This in turn makes it a chore to block in shapes. Tldr: we want it to be more optimized to utilize the iPads full screen ### 5/5 — Must Try once *2024-11-29, version 2.00* Close to realistic response ### 5/5 — PSD対応を望みます *2024-11-23, version 2.00* 最強のペイントツール。いくらでも課金するので、仕事で使いたいのでPSD対応して欲しいです。 ### 5/5 — Realistic Art Simulator *2024-11-23, version 2.00* This is the best art app of all time, however it’s not the same art app. It’s more of a realistic art simulator than an art app itself. it’s enjoyable. I’m really starting to love it especially all types of medium. I really hope they put in crayons and oil pastels as features too in this app same day, because those count is dry mediums as well. ### 4/5 — 優秀的產品！ *2024-11-10, version 2.00* 1，很不錯的app，可以感受到開發人員的用心，希望水彩可增加渲染及乾燥程度的物理特性。 2，希望有大扁平的水彩筆刷。 3，希望水彩調色空間大一些，又可以像油畫調色盤的混色功能。 2，很棒的設計理念，讓我對數位水彩有全新又佳的體會，在實踐過程中，若有物理特性的渲染則更完美，尤其是可以像淡化筆刷那般在區域內渲染則更棒！ ### 4/5 — Incrível, mas faltam atualizações *2024-10-17, version 2.00* Faltam atalhos como para o toque duplo da apple pencil e suporte para as novas funcionalidades da apple pencil pro, especialmente o barrel roll. Eu estava muito interessado em comprar a VIP Box mas com a ultima atualização sendo a tanto tempo atrás fico receoso de não poder utilizar as ferramentas com o potencial máximo junto a apple pencil pro. ### 2/5 — Al di sotto delle aspettative *2024-10-04, version 2.00* Purtroppo l’interfaccia utente è molto bella ma le capacità di disegno sono veramente mediocri (mi interessava all’acquerello). Visto il prezzo non proprio basso, e l’impossibilità di provare una demo, ho dovuto chiedere il rimborso. ### 3/5 — Sehr gut, aber *2024-10-02, version 2.00* Leider ist der PNG Export rudimentär, also man kann das Bild mit oder ohne Hintergrund speichern. Ein automatischer Zuschnitt aufs Motiv ist zum Beispiel nicht möglich, was aber für die weitere Nutzung starke Mehrarbeit für mich selbst bedeutet. Insgesamt ist die App etwas sehr UI lastig und aufwändig, hat aber sehr gute zeichnerische Qualitäten. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Konstante Crashes *2025-07-01, version 2.00* Ich liebe die App, doch bedauerlicherweise schließt sie sich seit einigen Tagen alle paar Minuten automatisch, wodurch mein Prozess bezüglich meinen Zeichnungen gelöscht wird. Dies ist unfassbar irritierend und macht das Zeichen auf der App praktisch unmöglich. Update: Die App ist heute plötzlich abgestürzt und hat MONATE Wert an harter Arbeit, Mühe und Zeit gelöscht. Ich bin unfassbar frustriert. Dies ist geschehen OBWOHL ich die Zeichnung MEHRMALS in der App abgespeichert hatte… ### 1/5 — App abandonado pelo desenvolverdor *2024-11-07, version 2.00* App abandonado pelo desenvolverdor, se eu soubesse não teria comprado, tela pequena e poucos pincéis, falta muitompra concorrer com os app medianos. Péssimo!!!! Horrível!!! ### 1/5 — Фарби не змішуються і в чому проблема не можу знайти *2024-07-26, version 2.00* Я купала програму на планшет. Все працює але фарби не змішуються, на палітрі все змішується, а на холсті ні. Допоможіть будь, бо я не розумію у чому проблема ### 1/5 — High hopes dashed *2024-04-24, version 2.00* Frustrating. It is a digital program with limited help. The paint doesn’t flow on the canvas, I can’t find an eraser, you can’t rotate the canvas (at least I can’t find a way to), I don’t understand how to mix paint, and on and on….. ### 1/5 — При обновлении на новое устройство приложение пропало *2023-07-20, version 2.00* Пользуюсь на iPad и на компе. Не обновлялся разъевшей что. Купил Новый iPad но почему-то оказалось что приложения нет и на старом написано вы не можете обновиться так как у вас его нет хотя оно есть я им только пользовался. Даже могу сейчас пользоваться не обновля. Чтобы написать отзыв пришлось купить второй раз. Пожалуйста разберитесь! Я только что фактически просто так в третий раз купил приложение. Мне оно нравится и больше запостил бы но тут возмущает сам факт. Я покупал оно установлено а написано что нет ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2023-01-26, version 2.00* First, it’s a fun app to play with. It includes some really neat features. And, the brush strokes feel good. It could be an awesome and very useful app. I’m frustrated because it could be so good. But, it’s not. some limitations: The help files and demonstrations don’t help much. The palette is an interesting concept, but I don’t understand how to use it. Also, it doesn’t allow undo. It lacks the ability to customize or create brushes. It lacks a color-picker and a lot of standard features that other apps have. It’s good enough that I’ll come back in a year and see what’s changed though. ### 1/5 — เหมือนโดนหลอก *2022-11-20, version 2.00* อัพเดทหน่อยเถอะ ### 1/5 — App de Nivel Basico *2022-10-19, version 2.00* Es una app básica que tiene como lo mas realista su interfaz . -no se puede trabajar en resoluciones superiores a A3 -no se puede voltear o girar el lienzo de textura -no se pueden dirigir las gotas de agua acuarela -no se pueden cargar nuevas texturas -una vez comprado se enlaza directamente con el dispositivo y no se puede regalar o reinstalar en uno nuevo. -no existe una nube independiente donde puedas ir guardando tu trabajo. -los recursos o características mas pro hay que volver a comprarlos. ### 1/5 — Программа вылетает *2022-09-02, version 2.00* Программа вылетает, когда хочу сохранить рисунок финально, как мокап. Во время рисования проблем не было. Но какой смысл в программе, если ты ничего не можешь сделать с нарисованными в ней вещами. ### 1/5 — Update please *2022-05-19, version 2.00* Update please ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dream Come True *2026-05-31, version 2.12* Realistic is an amazing art app that allows the user to experiment with traditional art tool without the traditional mess and cost of physical supplies. The developer has given the art community a valuable tool. The app is intuitive and easy to learn. I appreciate the ability to have realistic parameters that keep the experience challenging yet rewarding. I look forward to future improvements and creating more beautiful art. ### 5/5 — Speaks to artists *2026-05-14, version 2.12* I started using this app years ago and I immediately felt a connection. It speaks to the artist in me. It feels like real organic media it looks like real organic media. It doesn’t rely on aI or fancy filters or cloning tools. It just forces one to be creative and i appreciate that. Imagine employing the Eufy Make E1 printer to print works done in this app and actually printing raised textured brush strokes. How cool is that? ### 5/5 — Impressed *2026-04-01, version 2.12* I’ve only just started to use this program, but I’m really impressed with how realistic the tools are. It’s super easy to pick up and use. Well worth the purchase. ### 5/5 — Please Keep Updating!! *2025-12-24, version 2.11* Very very happy to see the app finally being updated again; I’m wondering if there are any plans for adding more tools/brushes? Thank you for your hard work! ### 5/5 — Wish more apps learned from Realistic *2025-11-20, version 2.10* Writing this review makes me happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I feel that Realistic is my artistic home. Anyone who craves the analog experience and wonder and the predictable happy accidents of physical media will instantly connect. However, this app isn’t as loud as other offers like Procreate and goes under the radar in a way that is almost unforgivable. This app encourages you to find artistic solutions to your art without depending on Liquefy, Layer Masks, or other shortcuts. It teaches and entertains you, improving your artistic eye. It is a gem that I hope developers never abandon. I am writing this because today they released an update and I was very happy that it got some love. PS: This app was a bit punishing on my old 2018 iPad Pro but still perfectly useful. I’m using an M4 mainly now but the 2018 is still a beast. ### 5/5 — Exceptional brush engine *2025-11-19, version 2.10* It’s truly astonishing how good this app mimics your drawing and painting tools. I must admit I was hoping for an update because I was feeling it’s a shame such a powerful app to be left behind. Thank you to the developer for the update. This app it’s truly unique. Even among other popular ones in the market it outperforms most of them. Would be great to keep it going and updated. I’m sure many new users will find it very unique, if not superior compared to others. ### 5/5 — Genial *2025-10-06, version 2.00* Tolle Zeichnen App. Da macht das malen mit Stift oder dem Finger viel Spaß. Funktioniert alles wunderbar auf dem iPad Pro. Dankeschön. ### 5/5 — めちゃくちゃ凄い *2025-09-25, version 2.00* 素敵な絵が描けます。本物の画材でも絵を描きたくなる。 ### 5/5 — 99점입니다. *2025-08-16, version 2.00* 거의 이것만 씁니다. 더 많은 발전 기대하고 있습니다. 색칠하기 책 폴더 안에 있는 것 처럼, 제가 직접 그림을 그려서 색을 칠할 수 있었으면 좋겠습니다. 혹시 방법이 있나요? ### 5/5 — Hab ich seit 4 Jahren ich liebe sie *2025-03-20, version 2.00* Soo toll wirklich mein go too --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
