Full-featured “Photoshop for iPad”, rock solid on iOS 11.1.2 and iPad Pro 10.5

By TIMB-2041 (Pcmac user)

this app for iOS really is exactly what Serif claims it to be: a fully functional Photoshop for the iPad. On my iPad Pro 10.5 it is smooth and solid with no significant bugs and close to zero crashes. While there are some specific features of desktop Photoshop I’m wishing for, some of them may be present but still hiding from me in the complexity of a still unfamiliar user interface. This program, at $20, is an astonishing bargain. It opens raw files, Photoshop layered files, and layered files from the desktop this app program. Fetching a file from Lightroom Mobile (or Lightroom desktop) is easy; just export to iCloud (or Dropbox) and then open from the “Cloud” source within the the app app on the iPad. All the necessary tools required for a layered, non-destructive workflow are nicely implemented. By the way, the 32 tutorial videos built into the app (scroll down on the “Open Files” splash screen) are quite good. I had no idea they were included when I bought the app. The new user can speed ahead through the learning curve simply viewing these tutorials in sequence. Practical pro-level high-resolution image editing and retouching have arrived on the iPad Pro (finally) with this app and iOS 11.
Incredibly buggy lately

By ActuallyArmani (Pcmac user)

Ever since the last update, or maybe the one before last, this app has been INCREDIBLY buggy. I have 512gb 12.9” 2018 iPad Pro and it use to run incredibly smooth at all times. But lately it crashes multiple times a day, it freezes up while moving layers and most times I can press back and go back to my projects and come back in and everything will be fine. Until I do a few things and it happens again. Sometimes I have to close the app entirely and reopen it a couple times before it’s finally working again. When I’m zoomed in smoothing edges of a selection, the screen becomes unresponsive to my two finger gesture move, I try over and over again until finally it moves half an inch and has several erase marks when my gesure failed and I have to undo a bunch of times. But sometimes when that happens, I cant even undo, I have to restart the app then undo! I’ve loved this app for the almost two years that I’ve used it, and I use it everyday as I am a professional freelancer. But the last month to 2 months I’ve seriously considered whether or not I’ve made a mistake by learning this instead of photoshop. I use creative cloud for motion graphics so I’m seriously considering learning photoshop better since I already have it.
Superior to Photoshop for iPadOS in just about every way.

By splashofcolor (Pcmac user)

This app has all of the key functionality that is part of my image retouching workflow (and so much more). I can process raw files, color correct images, make numerous adjustments and use advanced retouching techniques (like split frequency healing, alpha channel dodge and burn using curves adjustment layers, frequency separation sharpening, etc.). These are some of the techniques I use to give my work a polished, professional look that can easily be done in this app. I haven’t even gotten into using this app for art, illustration and surface design. When used as a complement to Procreate, the possibilities for raster-based creative work are pretty endless. And, there’s no need to pay for a ridiculous subscription model that most artists don’t want. this app, like Procreate and Art Studio Pro, is a one-time purchase. This app is superior to Photoshop for iPad in just about every way - features, functionality and price. Why pay an overpriced subscription for a watered-down version of Photoshop that lacks some of the most basic functionality? $10 for this app on sale is a steal! $20 is still a bargain. I’m very happy with my purchase!
Not for professional use. Period.

By Infinitebreakfast (Pcmac user)

After using the iPad version i was very hopeful. Having migrated assets from a project i was doing in Adobe Photoshop on an art board 9 feet high and 10 feet wide i was able to very intuitively use selections and masking to paint photo layers into my canvas. Adopting this workflow from photoshop the app seemed at the time very capable of being an app I could use to make drafts of projects before sending to photoshop or illustrator. Even when scaling projects down the program is buggy and unresponsive. Glitches are very common. Even as i write this i am reminded of why i did not install this on my second iPad Pro 12.9 inch. I use these for a multitude of reasons, the absolute main feature of this 12.9 iPad is its screen resolution. I was looking for an app that takes advantage of both the ppi and minute processing power of this device for professional use. Few apps can elegantly take advantage of these previously mentioned features. I am a professional freelance designer who uses a myriad of devices and screens for a number of different reasons. Took the time to install this on a third iPad Pro in hopes that a draft for a print banner 10’ x 3’ could be made. Fail. Will report back if anything changes. The app has been acting buggy throughout the typing of this lengthy and toastfully roasted review of this trash app.
