History.

Brushes was originally created by Steve Sprang for iPhone in 2009 and for iPad in 2010.  His last version, Brushes 3 was released in 2012, but was removed from the App Store in 2015.  I took over development to modernise and support an app that has continued to be enjoyed by so many artists.

## Brushes Reviews in Vereinigtes Königreich

### *---- "Can’t find the feature I wanted"
I bought this app because it was recommended by a visual artist for playback recordings. Unfortunately, there is no feature like that in the app and if there is, can you share that here.
-- Oluwaseun29, 2025-08-07

### ***-- "calming"
It helps your brain to relax
-- Paint glory, 2025-02-26

### ***** "Newbie"
I like the simplicity of this app.
As a newbe im not sure how things work. With blending I’ve been using the smudge tool in Procreate.
  I assume there isn’t one in Brush, can anyone help?
   Is there any way of getting instructions/manual as it would help me a lot.
  Thanks
-- Thakerybinx, 2025-02-11

### *---- "Let down by major auto save issues"
This is a simple drawing app that lets you create high-quality artwork but there is a serious bug which causes significant problems sometimes. If you are choosing a new app, then I would strongly recommend not getting this despite the good features.

What happens is that sometimes auto save does not work so that when you exit the app you find that none of the changes have been applied. Several times are found that all the work of an extended working session had not been saved which can be imagined is incredibly frustrating. Since I’ve had to use the app for some work, I have been obliged to stop every few minutes to find out if it has saved which is not an ideal workflow.
-- AnnaScheele, 2024-09-01

### ****- "A question…"
I love this app!
I have a query though..
I’m doing a set of sketches that I’m recording on ipad screenshot as I draw them,to make short videos that I then add my own piano music to.
However every time I press ‘brush undo’ those words appear in the centre of the screen,spoiling the video in progress.
Is there any way to stop that appearing? 
Im trying to get various video effects happening including reverse by manipulating what I record on screenshot and to have ‘brush undo’ in the centre of the screen is preventing this from being possible.
That aside tho..the app is great!.
Cheers,Nick

### *---- "Very Poor"
This is a waste of money. The app is too cumbersome to allow any enjoyment whatsoever. This is the worse Christmas present ever.
-- Bb46westy, 2022-12-24

### ***** "Heart of gold"
I thought that you liked me 
But you only liked me for my money , my money 
I thought that you liked me 
But you ripped me apart from the start 

You have a heart of gold 
You took my money 
And threw away my love 
And now I’m ruined 
 But now I think it made me stronger 

I thought that you cared for me 
But you only cared for me for my money, my money 
I thought that you cared for me 
But you ripped me apart from the start 
 
You have a heart of gold 
You took my money 
And threw away my love 
And now I’m ruined 
But now I think it made me stronger 

I thought that I could trust you 
 But I guess you don’t feel the same 
I thought that I could trust you 
But you ripped me apart from the start 

You have a heart of gold 
You took my money 
and threw away my love 
And now I’m ruined 
But now I think it made me stronger
-- mini mix fan, 2022-01-30

### ***** "Very good"
Given that this is free, it’s actually very good. Selecting colours, creating palettes etc. If you are a painter it’s easy to use and can replicate glazing and layering. I’ve used it as a sketching tool in the Ashmolean gallery in Oxford (UK). Allegedly it’s the app David Hockney uses to make his iPad paintings.
-- Triggerfish999, 2021-10-10

### *---- "Very unhelpful"
This app is almost impossible to use how could someone have released this the only thing has a brush no colours what is the point in that .. makes no sense
-- AmdKick, 2021-05-10

### *---- "Very disappointed"
This app has become very complicated. I loved the original Brushes - which won’t work on new iPads ! So a few changes may have been necessary to bring it up to date with technology but now the fun has gone for me!
-- Pejayef, 2021-04-13

### ***** "Just kidding 0 stars"
Sorry
-- A schoolteacher, 2020-10-10

### ***** "Brush sizes very poor control"
I cannot get fine detail because this version of Brushes gives very poor control of brush size especially in the very fine range. Very frustrating and maddening. Destroys spontaneity.
-- Ledburylady, 2020-09-06

### ***** "Instructions"
Where can you find help ?....very minimal ’instructions’.  Learn the hard way I guess!
-- cluvealuve, 2020-07-03

### *---- "Wish I had taken notice of the reviews"
This is rubbish. I loved the old Brushes app.  This one is cumbersome, not at all user friendly.
-- Hbc111, 2020-06-04

### **--- "Not user friendly!"
This is NOT an improvement on the Original Brushes app. It is awkward and cumbersome. Just as an example, the canvas doesn’t rotate when you turn it sideways. How can it NOT do that? That makes the use very difficult in terms of canvas composition. It makes me think that this was designed by people who are not artists.
-- C.N.K, 2020-04-19

### ***** "Best every"
I love it
-- @#&)875&*, 2020-04-10

### *---- "Rubbish"
If I could have a refund I would. This app gives nothing for the money.
-- Gers26, 2019-06-02
