Oilist - App Review



We don't usually review Apps that are 'all about the graphics' but, this one is so different that it merits looking at.

How about creating an oil painting?

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
Start off by either taking a photo, or choosing one from your library.

Next is to choose a style from wavy, oily, chaos (very different), sprayed/chaos, feathered, linear, expressive, shapes, ethereal, runny, abstract, soft/hard brush, big/small brush, messy, chaos vortex, light trails, modern art.

Now just watch your painter at work, and save whenever you want, as well as being able to change the settings 'on the fly'.

You can then still change the texture and share your 'painting'.

Cost
The App Costs $3.

Indispensability
Sure, you don't 'need' this App but, if you are looking to create some really stunning images, without being a painter yourself (hand up here!) then, this is just so easy to use and produces spectacular results.

Dependability
It's actually quite amazing just watching your photo morphing into a painting; it works.

Security
The App needs access to your camera and/or photo library.

You can easily share your paintings by e-mail or other App.

ACIDS Test Rating:

Very different and brilliant!
