Paint Tester for Negative User Reviews

✓ App quits too frequently to be usefulThe idea and implementation are both decent, but the app frequently quits while working ( runs out of memory?). You can't continue on a saved photo again because it doesn't understand the original background. Because of this, I wasn't able to finish even one photo..GaumlessVersion: 4.5.4

✓ Make it easier to useIt actually lets you upload photos to the app unlike all the other paint apps but it’s extremely difficult to use and you can’t select a paint colour you want without it switching back to the original and the paint brush applied paint to everything including the furniture and ceilings as well as the walls so a bit useless really.Ehhds33Version: 4.5.4

✓ Crashes in iOSProb not developed that well for iOS. So massively frustrating that it crashes over and over again, sporadically shutting down without saving any changes you have made to a photo..PoliodoeVersion: 4.1

✓ Flat coloursThe app just paints flat colours over your photo with minimal transparency; it’s almost like a result you’d expect hiding Microsoft Paint. It is not very good at selecting walls either. We need something that better maintains highlights and shadows in the room.IphonehighfivingfanboyVersion: 4.6.5

✓ PoorI opened the app, took a photo, selected an area … then was unable to select any colours to apply to that area?? Nor could my17 yr old. Then finally the button worked to give us colours. So far finding it cumbersome to use.Fly before I dieVersion: 4.1

✓ Low resolution. Zoom unstable.This app doesn’t have a setting for the degree of auto paint. When fixing with the brush and eraser, the result looks like stairs because the resolution is very poor. I thought buying the pro version, but since I’m not sure if I’ll get the same issues, I will not buy! Also, when zooming for detail work, as soon as we touch any other tool, the picture zoom position gets lost. It will automatically revert to the original full size. That causes us to waste time zooming again to the same spot that was being worked out..Luis49Version: 4.5.4

✓ Ok.....This app is really useful but could use a upgrade because it leaves huge white spots on the wall you are trying to imagine a new colour on I would like it to be manual paint so you can do more than one colour and on one wall, so I think this is quite handy but can use a little fixes there and there. I would most certainly say get this but just be aware. Keep up the good work people! Love it but can fix some things I’m sorry if I was harsh..Hermione G r a n g e rVersion: 4.6.3

✓ Another Tracking app!It seems suspicious that a paint sampler app needs to track its users to other apps and websites. I’m wondering if this isn’t just a minor utility app whose primary purpose is to harvest personal data..FundypanVersion: 4.6.3

✓ Paint teaserI wish it was a little easier to access the colors u want 😁 but all in all a good app helps u design ur room..Elliemay ❤️Version: 4.1

✓ BugsFill the complete picture with color. I paid for the full version. I already used this app before and I did not have this problem. Please contact me.Jim861904Version: 4.6.3

✓ Does not restore purchaseFunctionality of app is great, but lower scoring is a result of paying for the full version which didn’t work properly no matter how many times I tried to ‘restore purchase’, restart or re-download the app. Still low quality and still seeing ads. 👎.Spototmaticfreeze91Version: 4.5.4

✓ FrankVery poor app not easy to follow difficult to navigate and exit out of pictures are not easy to take and coordinate with.Lousey programVersion: 4.6.5

✓ Good app but crashesGreat idea but keeps crashing and losing all your work - there is not even a way to save what you are doing. Shame as otherwise works well.Tgh44Version: 4.1

✓ Access to photosThis app has one major flaw! It does access your photos even if you restrict such access from your iPhone settings! All it requires is, tap “browse library” after opening the app and that’s it! Your “photos” pop up right away! Any normal app would either direct you to settings so you allow it to access your photos or it’ll ask your permission to access photos from the scree, skipping settings part. This app does none of these and goes into your photos even if you have access disabled. This is major violation and I’m amazed how Apple allows this to happen..Teda777Version: 4.5.3

✓ Good idea new fine tuningI've been looking for an app that can colour your own room! So love this feature BUT the colour palette is so difficult to use, has none of the colours I would like and no info to help you colour co-ordinate..HunanntayVersion: 2.4

✓ Let's get real: This app is terrible.Come on. I downloaded this app because the reviews were so good and I expected to actually be able to choose a new color for my room. My results were quite different from what I expected. Rather than a wall with a nice blue-grey color, I ended up with a chair, a bed, and half a wall colored that color. The rest was pink and white. So I decided to do it manually and thought to myself, "Is this a joke?" The brush is SQUARE. There are "lines" that are SUPER THIN. I am extremely disappointed. Now that I think about it, I'm sure that the reviews that were bad were deleted, or you paid people to write them..Val2323!Version: 4.1

✓ Not very goodI’ve just asked my dad if I can get this game there’s so much stuff that just pops up I just wish there wasn’t any things that pop up it says this is a good game but actually it isn’t 👎🏼.Louise hadfieldVersion: 4.5.4

✓ 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼THIS APP IS RUBBISH! I've seen about 100 better apps in my entire life. I hate this app!.Micro mouse 22Version: 4.1

✓ Great functionality BUTStill see ads even when you purchase it, very disappointing.Bero the heroVersion: 4.6.5

✓ Don’t buyI was using the free mode and it was PERFECT. It worked just fine, pictures were a little blurry but you got the idea of what you were looking at. Then I paid to get no ads, and to have high resolution pics. Ever since then, I’ll be 30 minutes into a project and the app will just close out. Won’t save anything. Just quit. Then I have to start ALL over again. And it can take a while to get a whole project done, when you have to use the brush to paint it yourself. App went from a 4 star to a 1 star after I paid for it. Very disappointed..SaucyNuttBuggetVersion: 4.5.4

✓ Keeps Crashing and Doesn’t allow to save progress on projectsPaid for the premium app and have been trying to test colours for the front of my house which takes a lot of time to prepare. Have tried to do this twice now and the project crashed both times after I worked on it for around 45 mins and all the work was lost. Also got an error message when I was trying to save it as I worked through to avoid losing it the second time. Good concept but certainly not worth paying for until these bugs are resolved..MaljonrobVersion: 4.5.4

✓ TerribleI’m so disappointed. For me it’s a complete fail. Either the technology doesn’t work (it can’t select cupboards or walls as a section to paint) or it’s so difficult & confusing to use that I can’t get it to work (& I’m an IT professional).Global traveler lolVersion: 4.6.3

✓ AwkwardApp is awkward to use especially on iPhone. It is difficult to come up with basic neutral tones. Very disappointing..PKP1530vVersion: 2.4

✓ Hard to work withThis was the worst app I have ever had. You cannot connect the color with your picture. And then advertising keeps popping up. Definitely not user friendly. I deleted it from my phone. Nice when you can possibly get it to work, but that can take a lot of time and then you still can’t connect the paint color to your picture !!.NjackiesVersion: 4.5.1

✓ Crappy app.Impossible to use. Not intuitive at all. Couldn’t even get the colour I wanted from the swab onto the wall I wanted, it kept reverting to that colour. Why does it even ask for a size brush you want to use? if your supposed to just tap the wall and it shows you the colour why I need that... confusing and really Just hopeless..Bloody nick nameVersion: 4.5.4

✓ Don’t waste your timeThis should be pulled the App Store it total junk worst app in the world.PCS ComputersVersion: 4.6.5

✓ DO NOT BUY. DO NOTBUY. DO NOT BUYI tried the lite version and could see the potential so I purchased the pro version. The app didn’t upgrade. Looks like I just wasted my money. Total rip-off. I tried to cotact the developer but there is no way to to do this. Next thing is to try a complaint to Apple. Got my doubts of that working either.GradevVersion: 4.5.4

✓ Good way to get ideasApp works well & helps you get ideas on how different colours & shades will look on your walls. I only wish you could save the colours/shades that you like..Supermum531Version: 4.1

✓ A good start but...Crashes. Then you lose all your work. All that time spent painting little ares GONE. Even if you exported your work you cannot open it back up to edit. This means all of your color option viewing must be done in one session and you better hope it doesn't crash. The masking tape tool is wonky as there is no way to remove it.. Free version allows painting on low resolution image only BUMMER! Better to stick with photoshop if you already have it..AtxmobVersion: 4.1

✓ No good with existing accent wallsIt’s a good idea with potential, but currently it’s pretty much useless if you already have walls with differing colours. It seems to interpret them as differently lit. If you have, say, a lighter wall and a darker wall, and try to “paint” them the same colour in the app, they’ll still look radically different..EvaluataVersion: 4.5.4

✓ Good n BadGood app but crashed many times on me, have to do the work from the scratch every time it crashes....Cricket_89Version: 4.5.0

✓ Paint it blackTook the photo, tried get the app to work but all that happened was to keep showing a picture of my hallway so back to the drawing board..Bord playerVersion: 4.5.4

✓ Limited and buggyIn fairness, I am trying to use Paint Tester in for an exterior job, while I believe the program was designed with interior jobs in mind. The difference is significant. Lighting variations outdoors can be much greater than indoors, and surfaces can be more variable. Paint tester does allow you to get a rough visualization of how colors will look in a particular application and relative to other colors. It also provides a read out on the formulas ( % of various colors in each) for every color you use in your project and saves a palette, including formula information, for each project/photo. On the downside: It’s difficult to get an even coat. The color varies according to variations in the surface you’re covering. This is inevitable if the program is to preserve textures in the original, but the trade off is a very uneven look. Colors don’t remain true. Colors change in an attempt to adjust to lighting and, again, according to the color you’re trying to cover. The adjustments are not always on target. Program doesn’t always respond appropriately. On a number of occasions, while working on a photo, I’ve wanted to bring in a color from another photo. Paint Tester does not always allow this. It will pull up palettes; it will allow me to choose another color from the photo I’m working on; but it will not open and allow me to browse my photo library. Finally, Paint Tester crashes with much too much regularity, taking unsaved work with it..JDATLVersion: 4.5.4

✓ Good but could be betterNice idea, needs some refining. Simple things like being able to use on phone landscape would help. Maybe saving used colours to a fave palette??.SLane80Version: 2.4

✓ App crashes halfway through your workPaid for the upgrade. Definitely not worth it..Lem273852Version: 4.5.4
