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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Ok but limited functionality for my purpose *2018-10-22, version 1.32* No layers, no import, crashes. ### 4/5 — My best watercolor app *2018-01-18* I love this app,especially the watercolor. A problem I have is it erases more than I want when I hit the undo button. I hope that an update will fix this problem so that only the last stroke will be erased. ### 3/5 — Frustrating *2017-07-02, version 1.31* At first glance this appears to be a great app for a professional artist. However,1: there isn't a handbook, 2: there aren't any tutorials, 3: there isn't a way to import an image from my photos from which I can begin a sketch. As I said... frustrating ### 4/5 — Wonderful *2016-12-29, version 1.31* This app is wonderful, I love it. The only change I would love to see is a brush choice option. Sometimes for detailed work I would like a finer brush. Apart from that wonderful. ### 5/5 — Very good app. *2016-01-07* This is an excellent app. I use it to colorize black and white photos. The potential is limitless. Love the different brushes and colors available. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Madgnat *2015-03-27, version 1.30* Great app. Great for colouring line drawings. Thanks. ### 5/5 — This app is great! *2014-11-15, version 1.30* This app is amazing for art lovers! Please consider downloading this! ### 5/5 — Eview *2014-08-07, version 1.15* Totally fabulous tool for modern living. ### 5/5 — Great *2014-07-15, version 1.30* Awesome tools for a great result. Layers and a few more tools like that will put this app above and beyond. ### 5/5 — Really nice! *2014-06-30, version 1.30* I'll give it an 8 out of 10. Theres a few niggels that bug me with the User Interface, but apart from that, the results are really good!! ### 5/5 — Watercolours *2014-05-03, version 1.30* Brilliant app loads n loads of Luvly colours and some great art tools! Luv it ! ### 5/5 — Watercolour Pencils *2014-04-01, version 1.30* Injust bought this app and already I love it. I am thoroughly enjoying the results this is giving me. Great app . Thank you. Pagan ### 5/5 — Watercolor App *2014-03-01* This is an easy to use app that truly gives the look and feel of watercolor on paper. Use it and enjoy! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — How about... *2021-03-09, version 1.32* A massive update? ### 1/5 — Extremely bad app *2018-07-22* Failed me big time, I wish I could get my money back. Very cumbersome layout and tools, brushes are terrible and the water color is jagged and pixelated. Tools effects are primitive looking. I am really amazed by the amount of praises, either they know nothing about art or they are fake. I've been doing digital art for nearly 10 years, it is my worst experience ever. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work! *2014-02-09, version 1.30* Will not import any photos from my album. Crashes every time! ### 1/5 — Update and still broken *2013-11-25, version 1.20* Its been broken for a long time now. Fix it please..... Is there a support site anywere ? ### 1/5 — Freezes *2013-11-23, version 1.15* I'm afraid this app "lags" behind it's peers (pun intended). I deleted and reinstalled twice and did a hard reset of my brand new iPad Air, but it made no difference. This app which so excited me when I found it is unusable. It took 10-20 seconds minimum to register every keystroke which is the kiss of death in any app, but in an art app, doubly so. I was prepared to put up with the loss of layers for a realistic watercolour app, but this is in the chocolate teapot category for usefulness. ### 1/5 — Need fix bugs! *2013-08-11, version 1.14* I draw for over an hr then crash!!! Then start over!!! Ahhh... ### 1/5 — Watercolor pencil *2013-06-23, version 1.14* Well I have no idea how this App works. It crashes without even opening. ### 1/5 — Haven *2012-12-27, version 1.11* It crashes right after leaving the home page; I haven't even been able to use it once. I just threw my money away. Please, don't do the same! ### 1/5 — Locked up too, please fix :) *2012-12-09, version 1.11* I also just purchased & tried to go through instructions & now can't get it off the screen :(. Disappointed !! ### 1/5 — Locked up *2012-12-07, version 1.11* I just bought it, tried to review the instructions, and the screen locked up. There doesn't appear to be anything that I can do to fix the problem. How disappointing! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ! ### 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. ### 5/5 — HAPPY DANCE! *2017-08-17* WCP on iPhone!!! it don't get better than this Ok, I'm impressed. And that's not easy. This has been a fav since I got it - and that was well over a year ago. I do media arts in the three dimensional world. It is wonderful to be able to take the Experience of the media With me, Everywhere! This is the closest to tactile media I've found! I do have a couple of ideas, though. Could you please add the Option to "clear" the history of a specific tool when necessary. Especially when I start a new project, this is something that would be useful as an option if I'm finished with a specific set of colours. More choices for sizes (or a slider?) with the tools; perhaps a "hard edge" choice for side edges with the airbrush? A few of these realistic features would just make an awesome virtual art experience even more satisfying. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2017-03-23* I've been a professional artist for over 40 years and have a lot of painting apps. If I had to choose just one this would be it. Easy to use and excellent results. ### 5/5 — Drawing *2017-03-10, version 1.31* Good app ### 5/5 — Great *2016-12-04* I have been fixing portraits, they come out excelente. It need a little more improve, well, we all need that..... ### 5/5 — I've rediscovered art! *2016-02-17, version 1.31* With a very busy life I found it difficult to find time to enjoy sketching and watercolouring. This app fits the bill perfectly. I've now found myself enjoying art without the effort of creating an artist's studio with all the mess of water and tubes of paint. This app is flexible and has great watercolour capabilities that enable me to do all that I had hoped for and more besides. It's really good fun experimenting and I feel quite hooked on it now. I love it, great app - well done, brilliant! ### 5/5 — Worth it *2016-02-02, version 1.31* This app is great for all ages!😀😀👍🏻 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
