The BEST! Creative, User-friendly and Thoroughly Enjoyable to Use!
I’ve been using BeCasso for over a year now and absolutely love everything about it! I use the oil painting #’s 1, 2 & 3 on at least 3/4’s of my photos in varying degrees as a standard part of editing them as it can make them look more like oil paintings and watercolors. When I’m feeling more “artsy” I can literally get lost for hours experimenting with the endless options on this app. BeCasso both feeds and challenges the artist in me - which I love - and I’ve also been impressed by how user-friendly it is. And most importantly, the response to my enhanced photos and “art” on social media has been very rewarding! Another huge benefit is that I’ve been able to turn what I would’ve considered throwaway photos into some really beautiful pieces as the oils in particular can soften the lines of slightly out of focus photos and fill in the graininess of others while also enhancing the color. I cannot say enough good things about this app and I definitely wouldn’t trade it for any app currently on the market. The developers are also quick to respond to any concerns and have recently added an impressive number of new oil, watercolor, pencil, cartoon and color options that have further enhanced my experience with this app. Another benefit? There is now a relatively new BeCasso group page where you can share your creations. Overall, this app exceeds a 5. I highly recommend it!!

Outstanding, all-in-one app
I am amazed there are only 2 reviews for this app. I have used BeCasso (uncompensated) since it first came out years ago and have used it to create all kinds of different transformed photos - some of which I feature on my professional photography website (squareknot dot net) and some which I've sold and/or won competitions with. The best thing about the app is all the typical transformation modes (oil, watercolor, cartoon, drawing) are included in the app. This is great because you can quickly see transformations among all these modes quickly and effectively without having to jump between different apps. Each mode features an amazing number of transformation styles as well. Version 4 has an updated interface - be sure you learn and understand how it works. ALSO! Great, responsive, helpful, and thoughtful user support, 5 of 5! Buy this app - you won't regret it...

UPDATE TO IOS 11 AND FULL SUPPORT FOR IPHONE X
I just don’t understand the worth of sending out updates that still don’t comply with the latest software support and aren’t maximizing support for new hardware! Update, I read the developers response saying that they did update for iOS 11 in September and also Support the new iPhone X. The reason I mentioned this lack of support is that I went through and read every update listed here for the past 6 months and nowhere did the updates list these changes? So, is it that all the updates aren’t being shown here or what? 2nd update, I received your second developer response and it didn’t make any sense whatsoever. There’s thousands of apps for sale and download currently on the App Store that haven’t been updated since iOS 8. So to expect customers to just assume that a developer wouldn’t allow customers to download an app unless it met all current software and hardware updates is nonsensical. Maybe in the future to avoid confusion you should do as most all other developers do and clearly state in writing to your version updates exactly when you’ve updated to support the latest software and hardware instead of expecting customers to just assume you have just because it’s still available to download. I’m certain that all other users agree.

Best of the photo to art apps
I painstakingly went through every photo to art conversion app in the App Store. This company released BeCasso and ArtCard. I paid for both and pitted them against everything else out there: they are the clear winner. First off, I eliminated any subscription based apps. There is no way for me to get a return on that kind of investment, and none of them appeared to do more than BeCasso. The rest of the apps always had shortcomings. For instance, after you use a filter to convert, you need additional controls for detail, relief, softness, intensity, etc. BeCasso had all that. Last night I gave it the ultimate test and converted for about 6 hours of Hawaii iPhone pictures taken with the iPhone 10 Xs Max. Wow. Some of those pictures are now like masterpieces, and are not cheesy at all. The comic watercolor and comic features also rivals or beats other apps that only focus on those features. The only feature request I would have is to create a new app and merge their Clip2Comic, ArtCard, and BeCasso with all their filters and features. It would be worth $15-20 USD to me, and would certainly be a differentiator for any other app like this. I really just want one app that does it all for filtering affect. It could also cause more folks to leave the Adobe world. I think this company is close if they could pull it off. Thanks to the developers for helping me create some wonderful works of art.

Can’t Access Free Version - Just Two Week Trial of Premium Version
I downloaded the free version onto my iPhone with the desire to try the free version. When I open the app, it seems I can access only three screens. I arrive initially at a simple “Welcome” screen that offers just two choices - either scroll to either of two other screens or “Skip”. The first of those two other screens is essentially just a continuation of the first screen and similarly offers just the choice of scrolling to either of the other two screens or “Skip”. The final of those three screens just offers a button to proceed to a free two week trial of the premium version. Selecting “Skip” from either of the first two screens simply brings me to that third screen that only allows me to proceed to the free two week trial of the premium version. This is something I do not want to do - at least not until after I have had a chance to use what is supposed to be the free version I was led to believe I had downloaded. However, there seems to be no way to access a free version on my iPhone - only to commence a free trial of a premium version...

Absolutely Incredible
This app blows my mind, there are so many ways to customize your photos and turn them into something that looks like it was actual painted! I love the pop art section and toon, they fit my style of art very well and was so happy to see all the things I could do with this app. Unlike other apps, BeCasso has so many choices to select from without having to pay a penny! There are so many amazing things you can do with this app and the quality of the photos/paintings is great! In the future I want to challenge myself to try to recreate some of the most famous pieces of art using this app! Thank you so much for keeping things free, and I will probably be buying your premium in the future!

Tremendous Support/ Best image app I’ve ever used!
I cannot say enough about the team at DigitalMasterpiece, the developers of BeCasso. Stepping out of character, I went on a rant and emailed the company, citing that the app was ruined by the recent update. The gal who contacted me, Julia, was amazingly kind and empathetic, immediately calming my fears. She was immediately and incredibly responsive to the issues that I was so angry about. With her input to the team, they actually corrected what I was so upset about and put out another update in about a weeks time! BAM! Perfection 🤗 What had happened was that when they first updated this INCREDIBLE application, the new platform no longer had some of the key modules that I’d been using with my images. It is my opinion that BeCasso is the best imaging application available, bar none! I have deleted all of my other photo apps and am using BeCasso exclusively. I strongly encourage any and all photographers out there, to download the App and try it yourselves. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Julia, and thanks to your development team for being incredibly flexible and addressing my concerns so quickly. Well done. I can’t thank you enough... With warm regards, J Melangton

Lots of fun / beautiful art
Fun program. You can create wonderful effects. We live in a really pretty area. I have extensive gardens. I enjoy photographing the flowers and plants and turning them into impressionist pieces of art. I ordered my first canvas and it came out beautiful done. It was stretched over a frame, and had picture wire already installed. The package came well wrapped. The photo shop included two different types of hardware to hang the print. I also received a thirty dollar gift card for my next purchase! Communication was great. I received two or thee updates about shipping. What great, fast, top notch service and the printed canvas is breathtaking. I am already saving more garden photos and will place another order soon. A real quality experience.

One of the best photo mod apps you’ll ever find!
BeCasso is one of the best art apps for modifying and lending painterly effects to your photos. Period, exclamation point! It really is well thought out, easy as eating pie (ummm, pie!) and allows for printing on canvas or postcards as a third party offering accessible from the app. The permutations and controls for the amounts of stylistic effects applied to your photo offer what I believe to be; practically endless possibilities! All from the convenience of you iPad. Sure, there are other useful photo mod apps out there; but you won’t find any offering the variety of styles, media styles from oil, watercolor and cartoon to paper and canvas selections. When creating art with BeCasso, you can use you ‘artistic eye’ as your guide. You are freed from the technical requirements and mundanity of needing to know an artists brushstrokes. I’d give this one 10 stars if I could. It’s that good, and that indispensable! I’d like BeCasso to be offered as a Mac OSX offering if it isn’t already.

Frustrating and useless interface
I was able to find and open a photo from my iPhone library using my iPad and thought the next steps would be as easy. Instead I got very unhelpful interface with no useful onscreen guidance or a link to a user guide. I selected the Effects button expecting to see an array of different effects applied to a generic image or, even better, my photo. The blank screen that followed gives the option to enter the name of an effect in a field. No clue whether that means you will then create a new effect of your own naming or use an effect with a known name. Entering the name of an artist had no results. A list of options here would be helpful but isn’t available. In essence it’s a dead end. This is not an app for slow learners unless they have lots of time to explore unknown paths. Will probably uninstall depending on the developer’s response

A question now
I have had this app since it came out. I got all the in-app purchases. I use it as an accessory app, I use it to change certain aspects but don’t originate work in it. I don’t want an AI and I certainly don’t use it enough to make a monthly subscription justified. I am looking at 3 variations of Becasso. Which one is mine? There should be one that has all the Pro stuff a subscription is necessary to use if. It sounds like the second or free version doesn’t hav enough to even try full use. Like every body had who paid for the original one and more through in-app purchases. I did not get the free version or the pro..I have the Original. The one with no monthly fee. I haven’t upgraded mine. So to keep it, no. More upgrades until it dtops. Because the versions in the APP store I don’t want

It’s great to study from too
I use the artistic filters (mainly the artistic ones), and I find that this app does a brilliant job at truly creating a painting from an image. It’s possible, and it’s fun to also look at how the computer did it, like what strokes it takes at different settings and I can apply new things I learn from the computer generated version to create some of my own. Several other filters and options and settings and I overall, recommended!

14 day free trial
There is a huge difference between the free & premium versions. I enjoy the premium app, but the price of $30 per year is astronomical especially when there are so many other apps available. Most iPhone apps cost a one time payment of $2- $6. There is never an annual fee involved. I would be willing to pay a one time fee for BeCasso; I reached out to the developer, but never got a response.

The most amazing app ever!!
I’ve used many photo-editing apps, starting with Photoshop and Lightroom, and scores of others. BeCasso has the most intuitive navigation system and by far the greatest range of editing tools. I especially love the range of subtleties that are possible! It also can be used seamlessly in combination with other apps. I now shoot with editing options in mind!

Impressive Results
My expectations are generally low when it comes to these types of apps, but I was genuinely surprised by the results and the options. Upgrading was a no-brainer. This app is now a part of my permanent toolbox. A quick way to get impressive artistic results. I'd like to encourage the designers of this app to keep moving forward and improving it. You guys are really on to something!

Joy!
I am loving this tool! Sooo many possibilities to tweak your best photos and to make something special out some of your lesser photos. My next goal is to keep this app in mind while shooting in order to push this tools limits. On the technical side , I get a little frustrated that we’re unable to double tap a slider to return it to its original position. It’s something I can put up with but if the tech crew is looking for something to tweak… 😏

Purely fun and satisfying
Giving a photo to BeCasso often produces an image more delightful and striking than the original. Whether it’s the smoothness and vibrancy of Oil or the color pallets in Watercolor or the outlines and caricatures in Toons, I’m constantly amazed at the Artistic results I get within minutes. And there’s so much more to explore in Styles, always with traditional editing features available after each transformation. Fun, fun, fun, not to mention useful, too.

BeCasso replaced four apps
In short, I used to have four post processing apps on my iPad. Now, I have just BeCasso. I enjoy the wide variety of filters, the speed in which they appear, and the output files are suitable for 8x10 without the pixelated look I would get from other apps. Finally, the customer service has been excellent. They take an interest in well documented problem statements. Money well spent.

Great effects, easy to use
You can have fun with this! Its so simple to making your photo into a faux painting or drawing, that mimic about 20 styles from impressionism, cubism, to comic illustrations and so on. For the price it’s s well worth it. Its easy and fast, with get eye catching results. If you regularly use pro design programs like LR or PS, you’ll find this app has limited options. The upside is that the app does most of the work for you! This is unique and most people can learn it quickly.

The Possibilities are Endless!!!
I love using BeCasso. I share my finished masterpieces on social media and get so many ooh’s and aahhh’s! Everybody wants to know how I do it. I use the app with my nature photos taken in the great outdoors. 🌳 🎨 There are so many possibilities. With enough practice, photos can look like actual paintings. I was able to ‘try’ the app using the flexible 💪 monthly membership for just a few dollars. I will be a life-long subscriber 🖼

Took away my save without watermark
I have been using becasso for more than 5years and I have purchased many filter packs and I used to be able to save without the watermark because of my purchases. Now I am Super frustrated that they have recalled the option and already have my money!! I was not issued a refund and you’re just going to rework what I purchased. Not Cool!! I used to tell lots of people about this app, no more!! It is totally crooked to put your lame watermark on when I paid for it to be OFF!! Upon further thought one star is all you get because I cannot give NO stars.

Outstanding Support
I needed assistance with art I created (couldn’t remember how I did it). I took a chance and wrote to Support. I honestly didn’t expect a reply. Julia responded a day later with instructions on how to recreate it. It didn’t work. She was able to figured out what I had done and sent detailed instructions. The product is very versatile and the support outstanding (bad support is a deal breaker for me). My thanks to the BeCasso team for an outstanding job. Thank you, Julia!

Love BeCasso!
I've been using this app for many years to turn my photos into beautiful artwork. Fortunately, I purchased it outright long ago, as I see this one also has gone the subscription route. I would suggest BeCasso in lieu of their newer offering, which to me appears redundant. So many choices to create beautiful artwork (oil, watercolor, etc.). Highly recommended.

BeCasso update one change for the worst
Today I opened BeCasso and discovered the update. I was frustrated to discover the first oil painting selection significantly changed. I had used the first setting for a beautiful smoothing of portraits. It and all of the oil paint settings are far too extreme to provide a smooth portrait. Can we have the first setting back? I have relied on this often and feel lost even when using adjustments to attempt to temper the new effects. I love BeCasso and feel the new update a significant step backwards.

I’d like the Styles grouping back
I had not updated BeCasso in a while. I was very disappointed that the old Styles grouping (toons, oil, etc) have been merged into a single sliding menu. Would it be possible to let the user choose in settings of some sort between all-in-one (latest option) and grouping of styles? One more thing, the tutorials are about 4 years old. If you check them now, the second one depicts the functionality I just mentioned above. Thank you (FYI: I purchased the “lifetime” option)

Use every day, develop styles for your categories
I’ve used Becasso since 2020 and have developed styles for certain categories of my range: greeting cards in watercolor, framed prints of vintage autos as oil paintings, stickers for musicians with the ‘Toon-crafted images. This creative toolbox is a powerhouse for photographers developing a special niche. I only wish we could “copy edits” then “paste edits” across a series.

Not as good as it used to be
I love this app and still use it often. However, when I first downloaded it, it had a “Custom” filter (NOT the one they have now) where you could upload pictures. It would transfer the angles and colors from the Custom picture, and I created some really stunning pictures with it. I really wish they would bring back that version of “Custom” back!

Subscriptions for photo editing apps is cancer
I am so glad I paid 5 bucks for this app the other month so I was able to get in before the subscription scam started. My one-time purchase allows me all the features you now have to pay 3.50 a month or almost 30 bucks to use for a year. It’s not worth it and it’s so disappointing to see happen. Skip the subscription and buy an app for full price or that offers IAP for the content from a different dev that respects their customers.

BeCasso in it’s most current form
It was a good program until the made it much more difficult to use without paying for a subscription. They dangle things in front of you that used to be free. I would consider a modestly priced one time payment but never an expensive subscription, I would never be using the program enough to make that kind of ongoing payment worthwhile.

I have a version called pencil sketch that doesn’t exactly work anymore after my $1.99 investment. My niece and I used to play with photos to teach her cause/effect. I guess it was too good of an app b/c now apps have different business models to make more money. I get it, but this one isn’t as fun to create with.

My one request would be full resolution output from the app. I load my 6000x4000 photos from a Nikon DSLR and would love it if I could get all that resolution out in the end (seems to max out around 4000px max.)

A little disappointed
I really only like one or two of the filters but I’m mostly disappointed in the lack of control. I had a pic of a girls feet in the ocean and wanted to brighten her toenail polish but I can’t find a way to do that in this app. I have to use the filter then bring the pic into another app to handle those kinds of details. I guess I was hoping for more customization ability.
