It is so simple to create anything you can think of! I tinker with every option just to see the amazing differences. ### 5/5 — Great update! *2026-07-14* The images got even better with the last update! Fantastic!! ### 5/5 — Very painterly photos *2026-07-14, version 2.1.03* A terrific app. Many of my photos now look like an impressionist or an Andrew Wyeth painting! It’s a lot of fun to have these “paintings” enlarged, framed and displayed at home. ### 5/5 — Still gorgeous after 13 years! *2026-07-13, version 2.1.02* I’ve been using this app since 2013 and it’s only gotten better.

Lots of fun too. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-05-12, version 2.1.01* This is my first and favorite editing app. ### 5/5 — Best Watercolor app *2026-05-12, version 2.1.01* I use this app all the time.

Much improved. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I want the old version back! *2026-02-20, version 2.0.0* I want the old version back! ### 1/5 — Very disappointing *2026-01-12, version 1.5.301* Too simple, low quality, few options. I can see why they don’t offer a free trial! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-01-09, version 1.5.301* This App did a horrible job of simulating painting paintings. I’m frustrated that I paid for this app. When all I had to do is go to Google Photos. And get a superior app. ### 1/5 — Downgraded *2025-12-25, version 1.5.301* It seems that the app, which I really liked does not have the option for choosing output resolution anymore. Bait and switch. ### 1/5 — Terrible, don’t recommend *2025-09-27, version 1.5.203* I can’t understand the good reviews. If you want even basic quality that resembles a watercolour with even basic editing eg eraser, brightness, colours, this app doesn’t do it. Save yourself the money. I wish I never bought this. Zero stars. ### 1/5 — BAD *2025-09-26, version 1.5.203* So bad that I’m shocked, turned my picture into modern art with zero detail looked like a toddler did it waste of time and money ### 1/5 — This not it. *2025-08-06, version 1.5.202* Was anticipating some detail to landscapes but it failed horrendously. Blows out any detail and you can not tell much of what’s going on in the pictures. That was a waist of money. ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET *2025-07-09, version 1.5.201* It charges you $6.59 out the gate and then the pictures are awful. I think all these other reviews are bots because seriously this app is so bad. Everything just blurs together. I feel like it has potential but I had to contact apple support to get my money back because I didn’t know I would be charged. ### 1/5 — Limited options *2025-05-06, version 1.5.201* I’m disappointed with this watercolor painting app. It offers only a limited number of styles, and unfortunately, the results don’t look good when those styles are applied to photos. I expected better quality and more variety for the price. I hope the developers address these issues in future updates, because as it stands now, it’s not worth the cost. ### 1/5 — terrible app *2025-02-02* do not buy this app, it does delivery what is promised **Developer response:** Hi there!

It makes creating watercolor portraits so easy. ### 5/5 — Buy. This. App. *2026-08-05, version 2.1.05* I have been a fan of this application for YEARS. It is a labor of love, it has been supported and updated - it has grown and developed. This is exactly the application that you want to own. ### 5/5 — J’adore! *2026-08-02, version 2.1.05* Simple à utiliser quand on fouille un peu! Beaucoup de possibilités! ### 5/5 — Very creative! *2026-07-30, version 2.1.05* This is the most creative thing I’ve done on the internet in a long, long time. Anyone can do it, and it’s fun! ### 5/5 — Powerful software *2026-07-30, version 2.1.04* Remarkably good piece of software with realistic rendition of watercolour painting. It would be great to see it developed further with even more functionality but otherwise I’d recommend it. ### 5/5 — Breathtaking *2026-07-28, version 2.1.04* If you love watercolor, this app will take your breath away. It’s one of the most enjoyable apps on my device. ### 5/5 — Photo fun *2026-07-26, version 2.1.04* I have loved Waterlogue for years. It can save many photos that don’t quite achieve their potential as a photo but edited as a “watercolor” often produces a magical transformation. ### 5/5 — Magnafique *2026-07-20, version 2.1.04* Incroyable! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
