As a glitch artist, I use a lot of apps, and Layover is part of my main 4-5 apps. I use it every day. It it has a simple-to-use and intuitive interface and allows you to blend up to 4 images in a variety of ways, in several orientations/sizes. One can easily rearrange and resize the blended components and see immediate, high-quality results. To me, it's a must have app.The developer team is also quick with support and wonderfully responsive. That's not true of every developer, by any means, as those of us who rely on good apps for our art and frequently contact developers with questions or comments know. These folks, by contrast, respond quickly, when there is any glitch, fixing it swiftly and cheerfully. I highly recommend them and congratulate them on a great update. If you enjoy blending images, you won't be disappointed by what these good folks have made--and continue to remake with helpful updates.

The app works well, and althought there is helpful guidance at start-up and any time via the "i" button, the workflow is intuitive if you have experience with layer and blend modes, ala Photoshop. If not, some of the modes can be a bit overwhelming.I really like the layer approach, and each layer can be selected and the image independently scaled, moved/repositioned,freely rotated, etc. Layers can be moved up or down in the stack (this is important and can be daunting when using blend modes), deleted, or replaced by a new image. That being said, a few improvements would be welcomed additions...1. A "clear all", "new" or "start over" button, to, well, start a new project.2. Ability to unlock the aspect ratio of a layer so it can be resized without maintaining the original aspect ratio.3. An expand or fit to frame/opening button would be helpful.4. Improve the resolution a bit. The maximum size of a saved project seems to be 2048x2048. If you change to 4:3 the resolution changes to 2048x1536. Since the app has a fixed base layer (default black or other color), it would be helpful if the resolution could be set higher via that layer, then all image layers would be scaled up/down accordingly.

I've spent over a year finding an app that can do what Layover does. It's perfect for visual artists to figure out possible compositions using multiple images. I love the simplicity of this app. It's a tad bit confusing at first and I'm still some of the functions as I go. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I wish it had a feature to undo one thing at a time, rather than reverting back to the starting image. This would allow for greater nuance and control. I've already recommended this app to a few friends who love it. I'm sure this app will spread like wildfire when word gets out!

The layers work well, but the zoom is terrible. You're essentially enlarging the layer, not getting close to the whole project which is what I'd expect to refine small details (erase edges, etc). The two finger pinch doesn't always work to zoom and you can end up erasing part of the layer. Undo doesn't go one step back, it takes you back to the beginning of mask session which is frustrating. If you're looking to make simple masks and blend multiple layers this app works, but not for complex masking. Hopefully developer will fix the zoom and mask edit to improve this app with potential.

I love the app Diptic, so when this came out I bought it right away! So far, I love it! It makes working with layers and blending modes fun and easy! Everything is more complicated in Photoshop, so it is hard to learn about the different blending modes when you can't even figure out the program. Not so with this app, which is as simple as can be, but also incredibly powerful. Do yourself a favor and download this app now!

Great app. Love the developers but it's got glitches. Most of the time it won't rotate no matter how hard I try with two fingers. Also app shut down when I tried to upload straight to Tumblr which caused me to lose my design. Also I hope in the future it will support PNG's so I can insert my graphics that have a transparent background. That's why I'm using this app bit for now I can use blending techniques even though it's a long process and a pain. Looking forward to future updates.
