Glaze 4+

I love this app!! Why, why why do you not update and hurt me so??? Only 4 stars because you left me. Alone. With nothing else to fill the void of your absence.
I have not found another app that does the painted effect like THIS ONE DOES. All others don’t provide depth! They can say that a photo will look “painted”, but it all looks like a cartoon- except THIS ONE. This one looks like layers upon layers, like you would FEEL the paint gobbed onto the canvas if you could touch it. If anyone has another app they found that can do this FREE, tell me! 3 years and no update only tells me I can say goodbye to cool AF.

As others have stated here, this was a great little app for customizing the look of your photos or images. But because of a user saving error, the app will no longer allow you to save your altered image back to photos in the customary way. So until the developer updates, if ever, the app to correct the issue, I can’t recommend purchasing this app! Thus the one star rating!

But for those, like myself, who already own the app and like myself have bought many of the enhanced functions from within the app there is a workaround for the save function. Simply do a screen save by pressing the power and home button simultaneously or whatever button replaces the home button for those devices that don’t have one. It’s not as good as the in app save function where you could select the size and resolution but at least it allow you to save till hopefully the developer updates the app, but don’t hold your breath since nothing been done with the app in quite a while! ;-)

It would be ashamed to let this little jewel of an art app go by the wayside but unfortunately many other similar type of apps from the early days of the App Store, have as well.

SUPPLEMENTAL:
The following info is anecdotal, and admittedly, late in the game, but since the dev clearly is no longer supporting this app, I’ll throw this out there in case it helps anyone.
I have refused to update this app for fear of losing it (and I know that day will come sooner or later, but hopefully as late as possible!). I have two or three apps that I don’t update for this reason, and they still work. Judging from other reviewers on here, this app is starting to break for most people, but mine still works. For now.
I know this is temporary and fleeting, but hey, I’ll take what I can get!

... Although it has not been updated in quite a while. I am really hoping to see an update soon, especially because of this app's potential. It is truly unique and, despite some glitches, it's a solid app.
I would like to see some improvements with the masking tool as well as some bug fixes, particularly when it comes to crashing and/or freezing when in random mode (although I only find the freezing to be an issue when I leave it on the automated random road for a long period, which Innoway, it's almost understandable, considering how much input must be going into the thing).
Anyways, this was just a review update. I still love the app, but I hope the developer plans on maintaining it!
