Hate the update

I’ve had this app for almost 10 years and have LOVED it until now. You can’t see the lines of the brushstrokes anymore, it doesn’t let you long press to go “in” the painting. Also previously you could enter the painting and do a cool effect, it would look line a galaxy or something. Which was my students favorite part. I wish that would by brought back.

Response from developer

Thank you for your honest feedback — and for supporting the app for nearly 10 years. That kind of long-term use truly means a lot to me. I wanted to let you know that I have updated the app, and the new version (6.2) addresses all the issues you mentioned. Brushstroke visibility has been restored, and the immersive “dream / galaxy” experience is back. One change to note: long-press is no longer used for "entering" the painting. Entering and navigating the painting is now done through the UI buttons, as there are four modes to choose from: Navigate, Interact, Screen Saver, and Dream Mode. If version 6.2 restores the experience you loved, I’d really appreciate it if you’d consider updating your review — it truly helps an independent artist keep the project alive.

I have had this app for 13 years on my phone

Recently updated, it always have brought me calmness and relaxation. Something magical. Free, simple just a painting. Thank you! Who ever you are you rock.

Response from developer

Thank you so much, Thomas! Your words mean a lot to me. It’s wonderful to know the app has stayed with you all these years! That sense of magic was exactly what I felt while creating it - and it’s amazing to know others can feel it too. Thank you again!

Great for kids

It may be old, but it’s still excellent. Great for kids and adults just to play around with.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback!

Been A While

December 2024. Dear Developer of Starry Night. Thank you so much for responding to my review. I meant it from the bottom of my heart. No rush. Please don’t worry. I have faith. And I wish you all, if there are others with whom you work, the very best, forever and always. Peace and Love. ML.

October of 2024 and I was thinking of installing this app, which I had downloaded years ago on my old device. Now I have a new iPad Pro 5, updated to the newest software, and I wanted to install it, but I don’t know if I should. The app doesn’t appear to have been maintained lately, and the website is not secured. So what to do? Any ideas? Is there any hope left for this app? I would like to know because I remember how beautiful this app was. I know that sometimes stars die. Please don’t let this beautiful star die. Thank you.

app to every good job

Pure Joy

I've owned this app for the better part of a decade now and would like simply to say: it brings me joy every time I play with it.

I don't open the app often (usually I forget it's on my phone!) but when I rediscover it, it is like being a child again playing with a loved toy. Simple yet ingenious, I feel Starry Night embodies what all apps should strive to be.

Thank you for creating and supporting this wondrous app, that it still exists and runs well after all these years means much to me.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me.

Nice app!

Nice app for contemplation/meditation.

Love the app

Could you please update the app to support the newer iphones? I love this app and I appreciate you making it

Very cool

Such an awesome piece of eye candy. It would be nice if the app supported more true full screen. it would be so immersive on the large format screens!

Huge Starry Night fan!

Love this app and have been waiting forever. Thank you developers!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT 😍

Good art that you can touch with your fingers its real and one of the best
APPS!😍

Now that’s cool!

And 100% Worth every penny

Can’t get enough

Please don’t change anything, if you do then keep legacy mode or something, also 13 inch iPad could be a bit better interface since buttons are designed more for iPhone

Mindful distraction

Well. That's a nifty bit of fabulousness.

Интересно и необычно.

Жаль что картина всего одна.

Awesome!

The world needs more apps like this one, period!

If you struggle with depression and anxiety...

This is an app that might be very useful to you. I have tried meditation apps, even YouTube meditation videos. This is something different. I've had it for a few weeks. Almost every time I've used it, it helps get me "out of my head", and if you have ruminating thoughts, you'll know what I mean. The music is soothing, especially playing it through my Bluetooth speakers. I've found that interacting with this app can be very relaxing for me. This relaxation can linger even after I close the app. Please give this app a try.
