Brushstroke for Negative User Reviews

✓ Absolute rubbish, I’d give this NO STARUtterly useless Any reviews over one star are from people who made this It’s slow wooden and makes ugly useless images WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE AVOID!.Somewhere in the WestVersion: 3.8.2

✓ Good app but...It’s a good app in almost every way except that it refuses to allow the user the choice of not using the camera. Why is that a problem? It’s a huge problem when the camera turns on and is live either looking in my room or at me. I only wanted to use my Photo library. It wouldn’t let me. I’m not happy about this because so many off the apps I’m interested in are made by one owner. Now, if I were to purchase one, I have to wait until I’ve paid to find out if the rest are like Brushstroke. Yes, I saw those icons. Each time I touched Photo Library, I was taken to Camera. Didn’t work . It’s not that I can’t figure out how to use the app. Maybe it just got stuck on Choose Camera. That’s possible. The app works for others..Your nameistakenVersion: 3.4

✓ Saved photos disappearI really like this app and find it robust but will likely no longer use it since every time I save finished projects to my camera roll, they disappear the following day...nothing like working on something, tweaking it just right only to have it vanish from your phone/albums..Nm_gVersion: 3.8

✓ Difficult to add photos from libraryOn first appearance the app review in the apps selection looked good. Now downloaded I cannot upload existing photographs into the app. The menu to guide you through the process doesn’t seem to exist. Disappointing.The WoolfordsVersion: 3.8.2

✓ Filters not workingHi I just bought this app but the filters don’t work. I can’t adjust brightness, exposure etc. I’m using an iPad Pro and don’t understand what’s going on. Please help.AdeshonubiVersion: 3.9.3

✓ First experienceI haven’t had much time to use the app I only downloaded it yesterday. That said my first tries were tough because there are no directions. You have to go by instincts and intuition… Or trial and error. There’s no help page, instructional page or video to guide you. That said after playing with it first first attempt turned out ok. I just wish you didn’t have to spend so much time figuring it out by myself..Philsy3Version: 3.9.2

✓ Seriously?This app doesn't really deliver or accomplish absolutely anything..Peter ClaassenVersion: 2.2

✓ Too slowI did 1 ‘painting’ which looked great but when I wanted to do the next one it just keeps spinning ‘painting’ and never moves on to the next step. Waste of money and time.ACO110Version: 3.9.3

✓ Really not ImpressedWould like my money back. When you open a photo and select “Paint” the photo appears with photo processed at 50%. Moving the slider to 0% still shows the photo with paint effects. I would think that at 0% the photo would appear without any paint effects. Also, could not discover how to change brush size or apply adjustments / effects to selected areas of the image. For me, most of the preset templates are not useful and there is no option to create your own..MWessonVersion: 3.4

✓ BewilderingI have used many apps and this is frustrating to say the least , for a purchase only app not good!!!.Me10DYBVersion: 3.8.2

✓ Good, but some bugs need to be resolvedThis is a good little app but there are a few little bugs that need to be looked at. I am using an iPhone 8+ with iOS16. Sometimes, I don’t want to add any paint effects. I just want to frame a photo. When I turn the paint slider to 0, it just stays at 50%? Instead of having to go to the paint effect panel, how about, just allowing us to bypass this section and go straight to the frame section. Essentially, the slider function on all the paint effects, is broken. It only seems to understand the 50% value. This is a bug and needs to be fixed. And the other feature that would be nice, is to allow us to add a signature image. Writing a signature with one’s finger, is quite difficult, but it would be great, if we could browse our photo album and choose an image signature. Maybe allow us to crop & resize it, inside the app, as well. I did send a report to the technical support team, but they advised me to use the iPad Pro version. I don’t have an iPad, so this is a pointless reply. Please fix and update the iPhone version..Charlie XXRGVersion: 3.9.9

✓ Nice app. Doesn't ship to Australia.I really like what his app does. It does it well, but i cannot get shipping to Australia... Shame..TheeightfoldpathVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Great tech held back by clunky, nonstandard UIThis application would be great. It does a pretty good job turning photos into paintings. But the process of importing photos is clunky; the user interface controls that it uses are non-standard. Its photo picker doesn’t deal with nested albums. And I can’t search for photos by name or title or face. It should just use the normal Photos picker, which would be able to handle all those things. It’s difficult finding the photo that I want to use in the application. It also doesn’t have an action extension and it doesn’t handle drag and drop. Because of this, if I have an photo open in Photos, I can’t open it in Brushstroke. We have to go hunt for it in Brushstroke’s clunky nonstandard slow UI. It also resets its settings (like filter and canvas texture) every time I reopen the application. It also is difficult to switch between the filters I want, since there are so many filters (dozens), and I use only a few of them. I should be able to save my favorite filters, instead of having to scroll through a dozen filters every time we reopen the application..Janie DuBoisVersion: 3.9.3

✓ Not impressedThere are a couple better traditional style painting filters available in the app store. It is disappointing that there is almost no ability to control brush marks. You are stuck with the app presets and changing gimmicky things like canvas texture and hue. Getting something that actually looks like like paint and works with your image is almost impossible. If you are an experienced artist this will probably disappoint, I suspect the many positive reviews are from hobbyists. The lack of a free demo or high res sample gallery on their website makes me feel mislead and I've requested a refund..KingofzombiesVersion: 3.9.3

✓ Unauthorized chargesI as charged a subscription without my knowledge. I have no way of viewing or canceling this bogus subscription!.SuezpVersion: 3.5.1

✓ Unable to save without making purchase?Took a while to get comfortable with the options, but really liked how it turned out. But when I tried to take the finished photo to the next screen, it would pop a window to try/restore/buy a pack. I hit try. It closed. I tried going forward again - hit restore. Nothing. I hit buy, and it popped up the payment option. Tried to find a way to save it without buying the pack for 20 minutes, and finally gave up. I'm sure it's just a weird bug, but it's kind of disconcerting when a paid app won't let you save a pic unless you pay more. I ended up taking a screenshot of my pic and deleting the app..Leilah TVersion: 3.8.1

✓ DisappointingI bought this app to help me with my oil painting. Put find the features to only show very blurry options, showing no details..PINTARMONVersion: 3.8

✓ RubbishAll i can do for my £4 is crop a picture in from my tablet album and nothing else,developers response is,when you have selected the photo hit the > but that doesnt work other than to spend another 99p,what a rip off!!!!!!!!!!!.StevethebearVersion: 3.9.2

✓ Dev comment on camera accessIn another review a user complaint about the access to the camera, which has to be given. Otherwise tje app will not function properly. The developers statements could be interpreted that user / iphone has an issue (please reboot and reinstall). This statement is misleading. the app asks once for accessing the camera (true) but asks again (!) to get access if you want to only allow access to the photo library („Camera and Photos Access is required“). Furthermore it says: „To take photos and access existing once, the app needs permission...“. So, the reviewer was correct on his statement. A functional bug.DeletonatorVersion: 3.5

✓ Waste of moneyI had read the reviews and thought it’s worth a try. Total waste of money in my opinion, every filter is so blurry it’s pointless to apply to any picture. Where you sign your name is laughable, why not have a place to type it in and pick a font. I will be deleting this app it’s a waste of space in my phone. Very disappointed!.NotahappycustonerVersion: 3.7.1
