Best App I Have Out Of dozens

I am changing my rating to 5 stars. After the up grade, no more crashes. After using this a couple of weeks i have found some incredible affects. I still have not used all the possibilities on this app. It has grown more fun as time goes by, and really allows me to be creative. if one experiments with the hues and colors, you can get some amazing results. This has by far surpassed all my art apps by a long shot. This is an awesome app. It's going to take some studying to figure it out. I have not been able to save even one picture before it crashes and loses all I have done. One can't periodically save what they are working on, so that it will rerun to the last "save" point after a crash. This app has extremely high potential. It helpAs one user said, "It is deep", but wit time it will come to you. My only regret is that I don't have a larger screen, oh the fun I could have with this!

Would love this app if ...

I could figure out how to make it work. I'm not an idiot, though I may sound like one now, but I truly cannot figure out what to do to accomplish anything close to the effects seen in the screen shots or the sample photos in the app itself. There is no instruction manual or anything how-to, and I'm not finding this to be a very intuitive app to use. I love the possibilities and it sounds like it works for many of you, so I am giving it three stars for potential. But, it is useless to me for anything other than basic photo editing, and I have much better apps for that purpose. Please add at least a perfunctory how-to guide for those of us, or at least me, who cannot figure out what the heck to do with most of these tools.

Paints ok; auto-paint is fail

The painting part is fine. Unless you’re already a painter I don’t see this doing much - works like you’d expect but you’re painting on top of one of your pics... if you’re not talented then not sure if it’s merits. IMHO it’s nothing special - maybe better on an iPad?The ‘auto-paint’ is a complete waste.

AWESOME

Really love this app. First thing I always check is the resolution image is saved at and PhotoViva does not disappoint. There are a lot of adjustment tools and brushes making it almost impossible to not create a masterpiece. Says its coming the Mac as well which I will love. I watched the video on website and made it much easier to figure out how to use PV. I would recommend a help file being added and maybe the video to the app so people dont have to leave the app and go to apps website. Some do not always have internet when they are using an app. Fabulous job and for today I would recommend this highly *****+P.S. the only reason I say today is I have noticed many app devs updating their apps and removing features and lowering the res an image is saved at.

OilCanvas on steroids.

I have been waiting for this app. I can't begin to tell you how much enjoyment and satisfaction it's provided me with. On my first iPhone(2), I had an amazing app called OilCanvas, that allowed me to create a painting from my photos by choosing different brush sizes and rubbing on the screen to activate paint-like dabs. I loved it and got pretty good at it. The problem was that the app didn't keep up with iPhone upgrades. I had to let it go a couple phones ago. This app does everything OilCanvas did times 50. There are multiple brushes, fine tuning of brush sizes and you can use pinch zoom to in for fine detail!I can achieve a high res, professional looking "oil painting" in about 15 minutes of work. I just put in about 90 minutes on an amazing piece. I've done paintings on both the iPhone and iPad and it works beautifully for both. Heads up: SAVE often. It may not be immediately apparent, but click on the check mark to save, then on the brush to resume painting. Save to photo by clicking on the camera icon and selecting from several choices. Love it!

Amazing possibilities! 💫

News flash for the grumbling legion: The developer LISTENS! He updated the app with support for improved paint whilst zooming after I suggested it. He did that within a month. He is sincerely responsive to all feedback so if you don't like a feature don't grumble about it here; write to him and give him constructive feedback. That being said the app is already an App Store jewel! He is already committed to working on several new features including a dedicated Eraser and an improved interface. Stay tuned. I predict more wonderful things to come.

Simply beautiful!

PhotoViva is an amazing app!! It's versatile and superbly artistic- a must have for every one interested in creating outstanding pictures. Sometimes I use its airbrush for simple things like correcting skin imperfections( obviously this app is much more than this)) One can create so many different effects- it blows your mind. PhotoViva filters alone are a true gem. This app requires certain patience because it's so creative, but results are simply beautiful. Photos won't come out looking so "edited" that everyone will recognize which app was used to render them. Watching their video will certainly help, but as with any creative app, one should experiment with all their tools to get the best possible results. I personally place PhotoViva on the pedestal along with iColorama and Percolator.

One of a few I liked

I try drawing app, and almost all end in the trash, not this one so far. I lets you always start with the correct color. Each stroke, it picks the color from a background. It makes you think, and can produce stunning results. I wonder if it't not a way to learn...I seem to be learning thing like how to fill canvas, how to add detail, how not to. Developer, if it's 1200 put it in the description so people are warned (for my level it's ok anyway, didn't eve verified).

A Great App Steps Up To Version 2.0

This app is a delight for serious artists who like the ability to tweak their creations, but the "Autopaint" feature will be a treat for Newbies, as well.The one big weakness is traning videos. An app with this much power deserves a series of video traing lessons. While the voiceless video on the Developer's website is very inspirational, it's not nearly enough for delving into the full functionality of a seriously meaty program such as this.Now that you've made the move to Version 2.0, don't shortchange us users by leaving us to learn the features only by trial-and-error. It's time to create a few videos that explain clearly what this app is capable of doing.Having said that, don't hesitate to spend the money, because this app is worth every penny. And unlike other apps, it's clear that the Developer takes this app seriously, and isn't going to let it die on the vine. The new update is a sign of good things to come.

Great tool in the toolbox!

I’ve been using this app for a few years and keep coming back to it for its manipulation of color. Fun and effective! I do want better brush dynamics and integration w Apple Pencil, as well as smart masking to break images into layers. Overall awesome App!
