Colors! App Reviews

Its hard to give this app anything less than five stars. Colors makes optimal use of screen real estate, its very quick and easy to switch colors and generally colors does what I want it to do the way I want it to work. The playback of paintings is a fascinating way to watch how you and others work to complete paintings. Of all the painting/drawing apps I have used for iOS, colors is only rivaled by sketchbook. I have been a user of colors app since it was first released for Nintendo ds (which is still a great app btw. and I would like to eventually see a ds update also), and iOS seems to bee a more popular platform for creativity... So it only makes sense in my opinion to release an iPad version. I would most definitely buy an iPad version if it was a comparable cost to the iPhone version.

Its hard to give this less than 5 stars and Anyone whos bought this app could agree. Some of the features include Switching Colors and Brush sizes quickly, PlayBack of your Art and Others, uploading to the gallery and much more! In the future Id like to see a Blending tool or Blur and A "mixing" Board. A must buy for on the go artists!

This is a really easy to use yet advanced drawing app. This started out as a Nintendo DS homebrew app, which Im envious for its pressure sensitivity. But now Colors! 3D is coming to Nintendo 3DS, which I sent in my first drawing to win a free copy :) even if I dont win, I still had fun. I recommend this drawing app for its simplicity, the ability to see yours and other peoples artworks in playback mode, and the art community. Get a stylus. And if you own a Nintendo 3DS, get Colors! 3D when it comes out on the Nintendo eShop as well. Nothing beats drawing in 3D ^_^

I discovered this excellent app after seeing the new 3DS version release. I downloaded this app on my 3rd generation iPad; thats when I instantly noticed a few things. I dont mean to sound negative right out of the gate, but if it werent for the few items I address below, this app would be truly top notch. And for the relatively high (among its peers) price of $4.99, I really wish some of the things I mention would have been addressed at this point. I was not anticipating compatibility issues in this price bracket. The first thing I noticed was that this version of the application cannot view the drawing process or save a lot of the newer art published on the online gallery. I assume this is because the newer art is coming from the 3DS version of the application and is not currently compatible until the iOS version is updated. The other issues I have are related to presentation optimization. This application does not support the retina display on iPhone, and there is not an iPad version (or just iPad compatibility). For these couple of reasons I cannot give this a full 5 star rating. Having said that, all other aspects of this application are excellent. From the intuitive, simple methods of controlling the size or opacity of the brush by tilting the device, to the fantastic re-rending process of your art, I am very pleased with this as an artistic application. I find that in its simplicity, its prowess as an easy way to draw beautiful art is exposed almost immediately. I would like to commend this app as an artistic tool, and I would really love to see it move up in compatibility with its own medium formats and the current slate of iOS devices and their capabilities. If it can do that, Ill immediately give it a 5 star review.

This is the same as the Lite version! I assumed "iPad compatible" meant iPad size, too. FAIL!

I have all three versions, and I love each. This is one of the best art applications Ive ever used!

I found this application very good for painting with its huge potential in brush effects, but it really needs an update for layers. I can get around needing layers with the 1500x zoom, but it would still be nice to have so this app stands up to the 3ds version. 3 stars for not being what I payed $5 for.

Please please please add a delete option for the online gallery? Ive got a lot of old art I want to get rid of.

it needs retina graphics and layers!! low-res icons make it a bit distracting and the 3DS version already has layers so why not implement it on the iphone version as well?

Love this app, but really needs updating, especially for the iPhone 5. It almost seems to be abandoned.

okay I had a 3ds and I bought the app colors!3D and it was the best purchase because of how awesome it is and the many things you can do. I dont have my 3ds anymore because of an issue so I bought it for my iPod now to compare the two i like the 3ds version better because of the more options. I really love colors and Im not gonna say its not worth it cause it is if you are in to drawing. But it could use an update and also since I just got the app today It wont let me access the gallery cause of some issue with the app can you fix this??>.< It wont let me upload, login, and even look at other paintings...

Awesome app!!!!

Updating will erase some of your paintings and the time lapses and such youve saved from the gallery!!!

Has "adjust offset" been removed? Although the new additions are welcome, but without that option the program becomes a pain to use. Also, the camera option to use picture does not appear for me.

New update crashes on iPhone 5 fixed it by deleting and reloading

Its great! Much improved resolution and layers for iOS finally arrives. It looks like a few features are missing, like the photo reference layer I see in the instructions. That would be great and I look forward to that! I love the output resolution options. That said, it competes directly with my favorite sketching/painting app Sketchclub and Adobe Ideas. The old Colors! Had tapered edge options. If I had one thing to work on, I would work on emulating the "paintbrush" of Adobe Ideas and the "Sketchy" brush from Sketchclub. The way both apps begin and end lines would really give an illustrators touch to the power of Colors! That was once seen in the pressure-sensitive app of the past. Pressure sensitivity cant be replicated, but you can make the lines feel like theres an analogue feel to it. Check out Ideas and Sketchclub. If the lines of those combined with the resolution and playback of colors you would be unstoppable! Thanks or the app!

Yeah

Its not the best one, but it does the job. I recommend the Nintendo 3DS version, it has a bigger community.

I knew that I was supposed to be better than the last version but I just updated it and it was a mistake!!! I CANT OPEN IT, IT WONT LET ME, IM FURIOUS,PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY I LOVE COLORS!

But where is the update for this app for all iPods (All generations) please make the update so the app will quit shutting me out. P.s. no one can see my paintings when I post them!!!! >:(
