iColorama 4+

A complete art studio in one app. I’ve been using this app for years and I’m still learning new tricks. It has a bit of a steep learning curve, but once it clicks you’ll be making some stunning art, either from scratch or from your photos. No other app comes close to the wealth of options iColorama gives you. The person who wrote the review entitled Filters-r-Us doesn’t have a clue, they clearly didn’t spend any time exploring it. It does have a lot of filters, but also has a fantastic manual and auto painting function as well as all the standard photo editing tools. That’s just scratching the surface. It has fantastic blending and masking tools too as well as the possibility of importing your own Photoshop brushes and fonts if the hundreds upon hundreds of built in brushes isn’t enough for you. It also still works perfectly on older iPads and in all the years I’ve been using it I can count on one hand the times it has crashed so you can create away safe in the knowledge that you’re not going to lose your work. The developer is still adding features on a regular basis as if there wasn’t enough options already. Seriously buy this app for a few pounds and you won’t need that monthly Photoshop subscription. iColorama can do it all. Get the sister app MetaBrush too, you won’t regret it!

If you don’t want a lot of apps for creating art and editing photos, choose this one! I have used it for many years, no add ons to purchase or monthly fees. I could not work without it. Top of my list of must haves! Lots to learn and loads of options for customising, but well worth the effort. I would willingly have paid ten times this purchase price!!

This was the first image editing app I bought, and it’s still the very best. I would be totally lost without it. This app has taught me so much - my panic now is that ios will be updated and this will not be usable - aarrrrgh!!! There is so much possibility within the app it will take months to scratch the surface. There are loads of online tutorials by various people to help. Brilliant!!!
