Oilist Reviews

The photo painting app I've been waiting for

Ian Tomlinson

I've often used painting apps and been unhappy with all results. Prisma is solid, waterlogue is great too, but Oilist gives complete control. It continuously paints while you make adjustments to brush size, type, density, direction and added chaos (spin, zoom, explode and noise). I haven't had this much fun editing a photo in a long time.

A bit disappointed

I find the images to be unusable because there are either white spots of unused space, or when everything is colored in, the "painting" feels like a blurry painting of the original image ... I tried all the styles with a simple photo of a baby, and many times the styles would make her look like had the measles or mumps and make bumpy changes in the skin... I will definitely await updates and look forward to improvements ... I think you could have the app be $1 for three styles and then an IAP for access to other styles... also, perhaps styles could be named after impressionist painters? That would be easier to understand than try each on... also would like to have a simple finished painting option rather than watch the painting unfold, I don't want images with blank spaces . Thanks

I could watch Oilist for hours. It's like infinite Bob Ross. Great job with this app!

Too processor-intensive

Had I known the app uses up 25-30% of my battery (iPhone 6s Plus), I would have never installed it. That was a waste of $3.99.

Glitchy, freezing, not what it appears to be

I've tried using this several times and it does make mesmerizing screensaver like art but you can't stop and restart. The brushes done seem to work and the whole app freezes. If it could do what the demo video said it would it would be amazing. But it doesn't

Too fun

I'm having a lot of fun with this. Looking forward to watching the training video to see how to finesse the images even better. Thanks!

Very fun

Long words

I love the direction this app is going. Please add the video tutorials. Documentation is kinda sparse. I would like to know more about how this app does its thing so I can make better decisions. If you are into apps that turn photos into paintings I think you will be pleased.

Awful

This app doesn't work at all. All it does is has words pop up saying cleaning brushes ect. So I am not happy paid 3.99. I want my money back this app doesn't work. I think it's frozen up cause I can't get anything to work this app. Un installer. Very unhappy. I am disable so I want my apps to work cause I am on a fix income. Please give me my money back.

Not Impressed

For the price I expected quicker application of image designs, not having to wait around. Played around for a little bit with various images with different styles and have decided it wasn't worth $2.99, but less than that.

Relaxing and satisfying

This app is pretty nice. The instructions are quite clear and it operates exactly as advertised. It only takes a moment to start taking shape. The longer you let it roll, the more detail and style it will incorporate. Mid-painting snapshots are a nice idea and linking to a printable canvas service is convenient. Worth the money if you're looking for an easy yet sophisticated oil painting processor.
