(can’t use it to take photos anymore – must import, but no biggie.) I hope the developer is OK. 🤞 ### 5/5 — SnapDot is awesome! *2017-05-16, version 1.1.1* If making dots is what you want to do (and I did) SnapDot worked better than any Photoshop filter I could find. I'm a retired professional graphic designer, and had great fun making old-fashioned etching-looking illustrations of bugs and frogs. 😁 Save an image from Photoshop, airdrop to iPad, SnapDot, instantly share back to Mac via airdrop, repeat until happy. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Really good! *2017-03-24, version 1.1.1* Not just the final image, but I love the animation of the stippling as you adjust the sliders ### 5/5 — TOR1964 *2017-03-20, version 1.1.1* love it! ### 5/5 — Wow it's great one 🌟 *2017-01-23, version 1.1.1* So great I wish everyone download it so good and thanks for the developed for this app Nice application 👍 l have it in my phone long time every day work with it really helpful .. thanks to all developers in this application ❤️ ### 5/5 — Excellent results! *2016-02-25, version 1.1.1* I can't believe this is free. ### 5/5 — Simple.Beautiful.Vectors! *2016-01-30, version 1.1.1* The interface is intuitive, smooth and attractive. Yields beautiful results and wicked fast. Outputs to vector PDF! What's not to love! ### 5/5 — Lots of fun 👍👍👍 *2016-01-30, version 1.1.1* You could easily spend an hour or so tinkering with images to try to perfect the parameters. It's addictive. ### 5/5 — A must-try *2015-12-23, version 1.1.1* Very cool app. A must-try. It's completely intuitive -- all your focus is on what you are creating, rather than how to use or navigate the app. Powerful results -- it does an amazing job of preserving the "life" in a face that's been turned into dots! It's also zen-like and beautiful to watch it all happen -- as you move the sliders, the pixels change in a fluid motion. A really impressive app. The developers did a great job. ### 5/5 — Powerful vector Stippling, better than Adobe Illustrator *2015-12-01, version 1.1.1* I recently paid for the Astute Graphics Stipplism plugin for Illustrator. This app isn't quite as full-featured, but what it does, it does REALLY well. And you can output Vector artwork for usage in Illustrator or other high resolution applications. Most impressive. nice job, developers! ### 5/5 — Each release outshines the last brilliant one! *2015-11-13, version 1.1.1* An outstanding graphic app! It does what nothing else does, and improves with each release. Greyscale, B&W, colors - groovy dots do in this app what nobody else has got them to do. And *here* you can output to vectors. Unparalelled. _______ *** Addendum- Now! With even better smoothness! You guys really rock. (13/11/2015) ### 5/5 — Superfantastic! *2015-11-06, version 1.1.0* Glad the guys updated for IOS9. Was missing my dots for a while there. ### 5/5 — It’s back and better than ever! *2015-10-24, version 1.1.0* One of a kind app that gives your pictures a woodcut look. Awesome real time feedback shows dots changing as you adjust the sliders. Thanks for updating to iOS 9!! ### 5/5 — Beauty-- even better! *2015-10-22, version 1.1.0* Solid 5 Starz:: Jim and Adrian, you guys rokk! As Kleeeen(!) as mountain air. Peerless, unique. Very efficient and dynamic. Thanks for the vector output!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-06-13, version 1.0.2* This is such a great app! It is so easy to make great pics with, especially for someone without talent! ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2013-11-07, version 1.0.2* Good stippling affect; nice adjustments, but needs another update because it reduces a 3264 x 2448 image to 1595 x 2048. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I'd give it a negative rating if I could *2016-04-14, version 1.1.1* I tried to delete this app and it will not leave my home screen. I contacted the developer and his response was snippy and not helpful. He was angry because I was suspicious of the app since it wasn't deleting. I just want help getting rid of it. ### 1/5 — CRASHES *2012-09-26, version 1.0.1* It crashes when opened! I just got this app :( ### 2/5 — Seems just ok *2024-10-02, version 1.1.1* This app was fun. Controls seems limited but useful to a point. Devs promised more updates but have stopped. I wish more was coming. Only a broken URL for app support. ### 2/5 — Missing Slider *2015-05-06, version 1.0.2* I love this app...when it actually works. For some reason, the ability to adjust settings has disappeared because the sliders are no longer there. Hopefully, I'm just overlooking something and will discover how to use the app again, but as it stands now, it's no longer working. Please fix this as I used to love this app. ### 2/5 — Low res *2012-07-05, version 1.0.0* The output resolution is SUPER low. ### 2/5 — Unstable, but cool when it works *2012-06-29, version 1.0.0* Cleared memory, rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled ... Still crashes often on iPhone 4S. When it does work, it does what it does well, with some neat outcomes. Once it starts crashing, it's over. ### 3/5 — Would like for macOS *2017-11-13, version 1.1.1* Great app. Just like Wall Street Journal hedcut drawings. How hard to port to Mac PCs? ### 3/5 — Problem with iOS6 *2012-09-26, version 1.0.1* Since iOS 6 update on my iPad, it crashes upon opening app. I liked it before the crash. Hopefully this will get fixed soon so I can use it again. ### 3/5 — meh *2012-07-06, version 1.0.0* I really want to like this app... the effect is great, and the animations and attention to detail are well done, but at 638 pixels wide there isn't much I can do with these images. It's just too low res to recommend to others. .. Read all my reviews on crosswa.lk .. ### 3/5 — Good, but... *2012-07-01, version 1.0.0* ...the self-hiding adjustment popovers? For the love of all that is holy, give me some way to either crank their interval way the hell up or to stop their auto-hiding altogether. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this abandonware *2024-11-01, version 1.1.1* I have really enjoyed using this app since it was released almost 10 years ago. Every iOS update I check to see if this app still functions. Thankfully no issues with 18.1. Will be a sad day when it no longer works. ### 5/5 — Can’t get enough of these ⚫️🟢🟠🟣⚪️ *2022-08-04, version 1.1.1* I’m glad it’s still working after all these years. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-04-02, version 1.1.1* I found this app far better than the more commonly known StippleGen. Really simple but great to use for pen plotters. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-10-15, version 1.1.1* I’m impressed at the speed and quality of the results these guys have managed to create. And on top of that, the animations are fun. My only request would be for more dots, and the ability to crop the image in the app. ### 5/5 — Amazing Results *2021-05-27, version 1.1.1* I was struggling with demos of expensive photoshop plugins before coming across SnapDot. The UI is simple and the results are so much better than desktop plugins that cost over $100. Additionally, the vector save is a game changer! One note: on my iPhone X the background frame/paper button (I assume that what it is) doesn’t toggle the background but just closes the UI. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2021-04-17, version 1.1.1* I’ve used this app for about 5 years now and it’s just awesome. This app hasn’t been updated for a really really long time which is worrisome. It’s a really great app and I would hate to see it be broken by a future iOS update because it always just works. ### 5/5 — Go to app for vector pointillist style graphics *2021-04-15, version 1.1.1* I use this app regularly, always impressed with the result! Please keep the updates coming. Love it!! ### 5/5 — First Class App *2019-12-06, version 1.1.1* Well done in every respect. ### 5/5 — Guys, guys... *2018-10-20, version 1.1.1* This app is downright sick and slick. So impressive! Please start charging - this is worth a lot to me and I want to make sure you guys keep up the magic! ### 5/5 — A sweet gem *2017-11-14, version 1.1.1* Just got this & tested on iPad & iPhone—what a slick UI! Really beautiful to work with, very intuitive. Initial portraits came out great, looking forward to trying the vector export. Sweet gem, underrated app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
