Don’t like latest update. Messes with flow + glitches
I think te new browser view makes it a lot harder to find your projects. Should be a way tor revert the view back to the old way if you want to. Also the app crashed on me and deleted a project i was working on that was saved. Finally the new update has the clone tool glitching. Now when you go to brush it on the whole image disappears, so you can’t see what you are doing.
United StatesDoesn’t compare to Pixelmator Pro or Procreate
I love Pixelmator Pro on my Mac and I was thinking how nice it would be if I could use my Apple Pencil with it. Then I saw it was available on the iPad, took a (too quick) look at specs and bought it. I was shocked by the user interface—there are virtually no visible tool or layer menus, and the ones that are there take multiple steps to get to what you need and then are severely lacking in capabilities compared to Pixelmator Pro and Procreate. Unfortunately it just doesn’t seem to be able to do any of the things I needed it to do, or if it is doable, I can do it more easily on Pixelmator Pro or Procreate so I have no use for this app. I’ve requested a refund.
United Statesbugs
How can yall still be charging money for this app? Literally every function has its own individual bug. the distort tool sometimes looks very pixellated. The lighten/darken tool's effect are so ugly, not to mention the darken tool sometimes looks like its painting across all layers instead of the one selected, and the lighten tool with blow up the size of the layer x50000 while using it for no reason. Grouping layers bugs out for no reason. Sometimes blending modes just straight up down work. Sometimes the Tools menu gets stuck on the screen and you can't do anything in the app without force-closing it. And the best bug of all: sometimes saving just doesn't work at all. You'll just open the app, open your last document, and like 5-20 mins of the work you did last wont exist. Or even you just multitask out of the app, come back, and the whole document has reverted to how you originally opened it. Or sometimes you'll export the document as a PNG and then you can't leave the document or turn off your ipad until a little spinny loader goes away. Your have to leave the app open for few minutes until it finishes doing... whatever it's doing, or else you'll lose your progress again. If talk are just going to abandon this app like this, just retire it off the app store. Save your users the frustration.
United StatesBest All Around App For Creators
This app can replace so many of the single tool apps that nickel and dime you for subscriptions. This app replaced Canva, Photoshop and their sister app (Photomator) can replace Lightroom. It works so well on Macs, integrating with your photos in a similar layout to the photos app so finding photos is a breeze. If you’re a professional photographer and need heavy lifting, I would probably still be stuck with Adobe. But if you’re someone who likes to creator some photo art on their spare time and put content out there for creating, then this app is the one for you. Break free of being stuck with the subscription nightmare that we live in and get this. It’s far easier to learn than Adobe apps and the workflow is smoother. My apps are now Final Cut X for video, Pixelmator for editing and Photomator as Lightroom. Now I need to find a good sound editing app and I’m all set to make videos out constantly paying $100/month in subscriptions. I hope this app doesn’t go towards a subscription model and just has you pay for major updates that you can opt out of if you don’t need. I have definitely recommended this app to other creator friends.
United StatesPoor iPad experience, but solid iPhone app
I’ve been a big fan of the Pixelmator family of apps for years, but I’m really disappointed by the iPad UI and painfully limited feature set of this app. They’ve had years to improve it and I just don’t see any progress on the iPad front. I totally understand the compromises that were made for iPhone, and this app shines on that small screen. But compared to Pixelmator Pro (or Pixelmator Classic, RIP), this app is a toy. The fact that there isn’t even a proper toolbar for the iPad experience is baffling. Hiding so many basic functions behind layers of menus doesn’t make sense on an 11 inch screen. I would pay good money for a proper Pixelmator Pro port for iPadOS.
United StatesSo cool
They are so cool to not demand your data, browser history, location, identity, etc- it’s so refreshing.
United StatesGreat app with one glaring omission
I’m still feeling my way around this app and it seems to have everything I could need except the ability to mask. This is an essential part of my workflow so it’s quite the handicap to be without it. There is an erase tool but that is destructive to the image so not a great workaround. Masking in this app has been discussed for a long time on the forums but there hasn’t been a definitive answer from the developers as to whether this is a realistic expection or it just can’t be done. Both Lightroom and Art Studio Pro have pretty robust masking on the iPad and iPhone. Masking would make this a 5-star app without a doubt.
