Metabrush

I must admit, I'm at a loss to explain this app. Whilst it can be used to create original artwork from a blank canvas, it's not very easy to that with it. Most people seem to use it to create 'art' by applying smear effects to photos and the results are often in bad taste; besides, the developer has another app, iColorama, which does the same thing, so what's it really for? It a sophisticated tool, but there's very little help to learn it, so results are often unexpected and not in a good way. I think it deserves to succeed, but there need to be more tutorials and some online help and then hopefully some real artists will put their weight behind it. Meanwhile, I've moved on to Procreate and it languishes in a folder.

Wow! 👍 Another brilliant app by Katerina. If you have any interest in art and photography and making your own unique art, photos or pictures then this is the app for you. If you love iColorama you will also love MetaBrush... another superb app that will become a permanent part of your collection. Everyone do yourselves a favour and download it now. A definite 5 star app. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

MetaBrush is a powerful paint application from the creator of the formidable iColorama. It allows brush effects to be added to photographs as well as free form painting. There are layers and undos. Beginners may find it a challenge to use, but searches for MetaBrush on YouTube and Vimeo will unearth tutorials. Helpful advice is also available on request from the MetaBrush and iColorama user group on Facebook. Well worth exploring!

This app has the potential of being awesome BUT I can’t find any decent tutorials on the internet to show me how to use it!! There doesn’t seem to be any included tutorials within the app itself. If there is, I can’t locate them. Wish I hadn’t waisted my money on it.

Great ap. Lots of wonderful effects.

The save problem is fixed. This is a wonderful tool for creatives. Particularly hold your hand but you can use it very intuitive light and encourages experimentation all which is right up my alley for creating art I improvise. It’s the best attitude to take when you use this because a lot of times it can be unpredictable to me that’s good maybe not so much for you. It does crash once in a while but it doesn’t take long to come back up again and you don’t lose your work which is the most important thing. Are use it as an essential tool it’s part of my artwork flow.Highly recommend if any of this resonates with you.

After the new OS 14....the app refusing to save. I deleted and reinstalled ...nothing works....help...I really like the app ...

Great app, but there are some issues with reliability of some effects, also have some issues when using certain .png images w transparency (all transparent becomes a dark color sometimes(in brush mode)) I hope this app continues to be updated by the developer because as is, it is very inspiring and creative, if a bit unpredictable. But it would be one of the best apps for creating unique images if it had more ways to effect / process the image in experimental ways . Also would like more brush options. Developer:please continue to add to this charming app!1 if you need someone to test new builds lemme know!1! Thank you for this app

No button made any difference whatsoever. Nothing changed, nothing worked. Instructions online are poor.

Can’t believe people are allowed to sell apps like this in the app store. It CRASHES every time I try to save the work (on a fully updated iPad). The app developer has stolen my money and delivered nothing in return.
