Picasso App Screenshot Studio

I used it for a while. I invested a lot of time into it, but got fed up and switched to another cheaper non-subscription app. This app is just too buggy. Too slow. And too weird. The text outline feature looks visually wrong, sometimes when you can export images and manually upload, other times it exports the wrong sized image and apple rejects them. Sometimes the exported images are distorted. Sometimes they are fine. Sometimes a new update is released that crashes on startup right in the middle of your workflow. When you type in the canvas the letters lag behind even on an M4 MacBook Pro. It has some good things, the localization features are nice, but literally every screenshot app does that now and there are several that cost less. I like the auto upload feature but not that I have to quit the app and re-open for it to recognize my App Store Connect app status changes. The last straw for me was when I realized that device frames are localized (you can have one device frame per language) but images WITHOUT a frame are not localized (it persists the last image you added, so if you add an image to USA, then France, both USA and France have the France image). Why localize device frames but not non-framed screenshots? Anyway I’ve moved on - it’s not a terrible app - I like what they are trying to do but ultimately it’s too buggy slow and too expensive. The developer is also not responsive enough to my requests for help with some of the issues I had.

When it works it’s beautiful. Plenty of customizable colors and gradients to choose from. You can adjust the placements of your screenshots. Quick upload to your App Store Connect. Although it would have been nice if it used the term API instead of .p8 file. Or use both for newbies like me. What I am not enjoying is how it’s like pulling teeth to get this app to connect to your photos. I just keep getting the spinner. The one time I did get it to work I had to close out the app multiple times before it finally connected. Yes, I checked in settings to make sure it had permission. It’s really frustrating. This process is strenuous enough. Please make the app perform better! I’m trying to use it for another project. It keeps saying that my screenshots have all been downloaded. I don’t see them anywhere. Well, there are a couple of blank pages in my phones file folder, but when you click on them they just take you back to the app and that project. When I try to upload them to App Store Connect it prompts me to pay for a subscription. I’ve already paid for a month and it’s only been a week. And there doesn’t seem to be a way to log in so that I can prove that I’ve paid for my account. This app is too much trouble. I going to cancel.

This app is great! I was thinking about making app app for myself just like this because I absolutely hate making App Store screenshots (talk about the second 90%). This does what I need to get an app update out the door with ease. There are a few things that could be done to make it better. - The device bezels that Apple's marketing resources provide have a license agreement. It appears that these wireframes are being used in the app. The developer should pass on that license agreement to the user of the app to make sure they play by the rules. - Templates! I'd like to make a template and then provide a JSON file or the like along with a directory to images to automate the app. - A nice touch would be a File > New Project that asks you which devices and platforms you support and then creates placeholder for required assets. - While this fall Apple will only require one screenshot per each device type, I would like to see this app have a strong opinion that the best experience is still per-device screenshots. - Support for multiple windows - different projects. I'd like to be able to look at multiple of my apps at a time. I have a visual style across my apps that I like to maintain. Having to change the device target a bunch is cumbersome and could be much better. - Support for multiple windows - the same project. I'd like the ability to quickly copy and paste the screenshot captions across different device types to make sure they're all lining up and easily edit with less push and pop. - Support to duplicate the copy from one device to another. I don't want to copy the entire screen including device screenshot, I want to just copy the image caption to another device. - The settings pane on macOS feels like it is missing navigation push and pop functionality. For example going into Settings > XCStrings Files, there isn't a 'back' button to go back. When exploring the different settings screens of the app there is more back and forth and reopening of the window that should have IMHO support 'back' navigation.
