Good, but a few gripes – Piclay Photo Blend Overlay Review

This app is actually pretty fun! I enjoy using it, but there are some pretty predominant design flaws. First of all, the absence of a two touch zoom feature. Sure, there’s the small box in the corner that shows a more accurate view, but this is barely helpful if you want to be accurate. Second, the brush size options are horrible. Only having two sizes is sort of ridiculous, simply because it makes accuracy extremely difficult in many situations. Third, the app does not support transparent images, which are a much easier option, and would save a ton of time, attempting to do a detailed erase of the parts that shouldn’t be visible in the first place. Fourth, not being able to see where you’re putting your second image real time is very annoying, and makes you simply have to guess every time, and hope the two pictures are correctly aligned. A simple solution would be to just show the original image behind the one being positioned of course. The fifth issue is that no matter what picture you’re using, it has to have borders on it if it’s not a perfect square completely covering the screen. This is only annoying because neither of the brush sizes are big enough to quickly erase all of the borders, naturally, pretty annoying. And sixth, I’d like to see more value in the full art pack. I decided to buy it simply so it wouldn’t bug me with asking for me to buy it every time I finish a picture, and to get rid of ads, which, admittedly, is always a good plus. However, I haven’t had much use in the full access to the packs provided upon purchase, as they don’t contain much, and you can’t reposition the overlays, which is sort of annoying and kind of a gamble sometimes. I hope this was useful, and can be used for the betterment of your app. The two main things are the brush sizes and lack of zoom, and the others are less substantial annoyances, but I hope this can help for the betterment of your app! Good luck in the future, since this app is a great foundation for what could be cultivated into a truly useful and intuitive application. -Philly
