Can’t get past video tutorial? Try this ; after video completely plays, tap around on the background and video. At some point background will change brightness, and an arrow will appear at lower left, it’s the door into the program. Keep fiddling with it, you’ll get to the arrow. Once in, the app stays there. Worth the trouble until it fixed by the dev himself, who is certain is listening… right? Okay, now for the review. This app is truly amazing for one dollar. Imported JPEG images come in at full resolution, and export at same full resolution. The app does not downsample your original for processing efficiency. That’s a wonderful thing if you’re looking to make large prints or canvas wraps. Big in, big out. The wonderful beauty to the imagery it creates is that it truly separates colors from one another so that each dab looks like a different paint color, yet still blends tonality in a way it looks like real painted colors. It’s addictive, especially on flowers, scenery or portraits with serious expressions. Once you get past the hidden arrow problem, you’re gonna love this on the iPad. Running on iPad Pro 12.9” with ipadOS 15.1, 16gb ram, there is no latency, painting is instant with no lag. If yours is running slow, maybe try importing lower resolutions.

I've played with a lot of painting apps, but this one has it all....semi automatic yet you have total control over the finished product. Great application for all levels.
