Love at first site

I just had to get rid of most of my art apps because developers are not updating them when iOS changes. I have went through a dozen or more and then this little jewel popped up. I think it is way undersold, actually. I have a 'test' pic I've been using and this app blew me away with the high quality filters, adjustments, etc. This does easily what is impossible or difficult in Photoshop and Procreate as online tutorials are old and dated and influencers are not keeping up. I wanted HD so I am taking a trial to see if it's going to work. This app is like my old 'Artista' apps I had to dump and I think it is going to work out. And I almost never give 5-star reviews before full testing is done. I like the 'slider system' as that is how I started back at the turn of the century with the first Photoshop in Win98. I used it to dress up eBay photos then eased into digital art and photography. I never did before because of the old SLR stuff I hated. I am a tech guy, not old school.

Developer Response ,

Thank you very much for your very constructive, extensive and informative review. Your sentence " I like the 'slider system' as that is how I started back at the turn of the century with the first Photoshop in Win98" really made my day :)

Most likely there is a reason, why we don't qualify ourself or an Apple Design Award, but we are very very happy that our tool is working as intended and creates such a positive reaction.

Thanks again for your feedback. If you like, please drop us a short email to via support@digitalmasterpieces.com with the Win98 sentence. We would love to send you a small thank you from the team!

Thanks again for making my day :)

Magnificent App! Worth Far More than the Price!

Made for the iPhone and iPad and not for my new MacBook Pro but works perfectly. Fabulous results and wonderful features. So happy with my purchase that I tried the other programs by the same developer. It only took a short time to realize there were exactly what I needed. Not too expensive. Great features.. even better results. So I bought 4 of them. I've tried all the featues on without a single error or issue on my MacBook Pro even though it is not supported. I can't recommend this program more highly.

Ordered 2 Prints Immediately

This is very fun without having to go to art school! I love the customization ability which brings out the ‘artist’ in me! I ordered 2 prints immediately! They are not super budget friendly so I would suggest adding a SMALL size picture for less money, plus maybe postcard size without having to mail online! Who knows exactly who you have to send them to? So please do that- pricing makes a huge difference but I do think the quality will be very good with developer chosen.
