### 4/5 — Mr. clean

*2021-09-22*

It’s hard to see the button lay out other than that not too shabby

### 1/5 — How about...

*2021-03-09, version 1.32*

A massive update?

### 3/5 — ' Could be better

*2021-03-04, version 1.32*

This a nice app with some nice features but needs a whole  load of updates to bring it to what artists are used to with the latest apps.
I have been in touch with the developers on several occasions with ideas for improvements but nothing has happened. It’s a shame because it could be a great app

### 3/5 — No updates In 2 years

*2019-12-14*

I am changing my review.... this developer has not did any updates at all in 2 years. That is really disappointing cause I paid for all of the developers app and I am concerned that I will lose them in the future. Especially if the iOS version starts to be to advance for the app. I hope that the developer will keep all of the art apps working in the future. I have lost so many cause the developer just stops caring about there app.

### 5/5 — An artists dream app

*2019-12-01, version 1.32*

If you love to create art the traditional way, then this is the app for you.  There are many amazing features that make this app a cut above the rest.  The water colour feature is so realistic and the colours can be blended even further with the water brush. You can choose different paper textures and paper colours.  I love the color pencil and water color pencil tools. They are just like the real thing.  Other tools include the  fountain pen, marker, air brush just to name a few. Just check it out !

### 3/5 — Okay but one problem

*2019-10-25*

I think it’s great. But it has one problem sometimes when I am working in the middle of something it will go back to home screen then I tap the game again and everything is erased . It makes me really disappointed and I have to start over again if it is fixed I will give you five stars though. I do think if this was fixed it would be perfect.

### 2/5 — Nice idea, low res

*2019-04-19*

I’ve been looking for a watercolor app on the iPad. This one has the right idea in terms of behavior. Unfortunately, the largest canvas is a mere 2048 x 1536 (which is stated in the release notes). The result is an image that is just over 3 megapixels. To put this in printing terms, this image at 300 ppi is only about 7 x 5 inches. This, along with just a few brush sizes, is a dealbreaker. I should have read the notes more carefully.

### 5/5 — Newbie

*2019-01-20*

Was considering learning how to oil paint via tv program.  However, after receiving an IPad 6 with pencil stylus I feel Water Color Pencil is easier to use than the programs I have tried. I especially enjoy using the eraser which allows me to repair, recreate, and learn from my mistakes.  

Currently I enjoy turning pictures I have taken into something very different . As an added bonus, no paint to clean up or supplies to order.

### 5/5 — 🐝🦋🐛From Cocoon  to Butterfly🐛🦋🐝

*2018-12-10*

So far it’s been a delight & Fun....good for Beginners like myself...
We all have to start somewhere and this is a good App to start with!☂️🖌🖍✏️💜❤️📓🗒🛎💡🛎🗒📓❤️💜✏️🖍🖌☂️

### 5/5 — New to iPad pencil

*2018-12-07*

This app has been pretty easy to use for a beginner.  So far I am happy with my purchase.
