Oilist App Reviews

Just a novice. I truly enjoy Oilist but have not even broken the surface of its wealth of users.

Crashes before it saves. So there’s an issue with this app. I am up to date on the latest iOS and the app still crashes. Every time I try to save a picture to my library it freezes up and crashes. Please, developers, fix this issue or I demand a refund.

So many realtime options!. This app allows you to create infinite variety with its real time adjustable settings that you get to change as it ACTUALLY PAINTS your photos! Play until satisfied, pause any time to capture the right stage!

Amazing...great app!. This is fantastic and does such a great job. It is amazing how well this works, highly recommend!

CC. Having a blast! So much fun! I feel like I’m creating my own art. Awesome to see my photography come to life in an oil painting that I’ll display in my home! ;-)

Fascinating. It is so much fun to see the different styles of the artists and then to change it up a bit.

Please bring back ABSTRACT setting, modern, etc.. Overall, this app is fantastic! I recommend it highly for those wanting to tap their creativity. I have a couple of concerns, however, after re-downloading the app onto another device (Apple). The version provided for download no longer provides the original presets from which to further create a painting (only some remain, but other options were removed including “abstract”). To be fair, it may be due to a glitch, which likely accounts for a comparatively slow time issue also. Otherwise, it’s an exceptional app that I look forward to using again once these issues are, hopefully, addressed.

Great results first time. Grabbed a stock landscape photo I took up in the mountains near Denver and played with settings until it looked good. Really like the export settings. Now back to digging through years of pictures for that perfect painting. Years later I still love reimagining my pictures or screen grabs.

Useless. Totally useless app. Distorts pictures where the pictures does not make any sense even when used with the setting very little distortion. It is like putting a multi colored paint bucket on your photo/pic and smudging it. Not recommended at all. I will not use it even if it was for free.

Amazing. A must have for Artist and Anyone who enjoys Art. Create unique awesome styles of photos ❤️

App doesn’t work. It has stopped doing anything. I can pick a photo from my library & pick a motif but the app just goes white & nothing more happens. I never see the photo I chose modified. It doesn’t do anything

Authentic painting looks with many variations. I bought Oilist a very long time ago and stopped using it. I tried it again today and WOW this version is a game changer! It has so many features that elevate the control we have over the results. Thank you for all the new features!

Amazing!. Really easy to use and a lot of fun to see your photos transform into works of art😍!

Nice!. This is great it makes me feel like an artist but I don’t have to no anything. Something from nothing😉 SAAWEET!!!

Oil list fun. Very intuitive app and just fun to play with. It turns a left brained, non-artistic, too rational, with little imagination or creativity but with an appreciation of classic art wanna-be artist...this app makes my dream to be a great artist (at least in my mind) in many different styles a dream come true. Well worth it

Great But Needs Information About What Everything Does. I love this app but think it definitely needs a feature where you can see what each option does as it is very hard to test each one and takes a lot of time!

Amazing App! Liked Version 1 better though!. I love this app, though I feel like the original version was better - it allowed for more control, a wider range of results, etc. Is there any way to bring some of that functionality back?

Great App, minor fix needed. I love the app., but it could be tweaked a bit to make it easier to understand what each of the settings will give you (or provide some help/info),...and it may just be me, since I am not a painter. The main issue, is when I am creating a painting, the brightness of my phone slightly dims automatically. I check my brightness and it is still set to full brightness. I know it’s the App because after I finish the design and exit out, it comes back to full brightness. Otherwise, as I said, I love this App, so thank you!

Really cool.. My only gripe is a wish it would say when it’s done painting. Buzz kills

Totally Artsy. Fun app especially when you know your artists and styles! I use for photos I take.

Is it fraud?. I purchased the app and cannot find it functional at all. I wrote for help four times to there help center and never got a response. Did I actually get buncoed? How can I get my money back. This is both very irritating and a waste of a lot of time.

Wow! I am a virtual Van Gogh!!. This is an incredible app. It can take a nice photo and create something worth framing. Completely worth the price!

Completely Unbelievable. Oilist app is completely wonderful -if not unbelievable ! Results are immediately satisfying and possibilities endless. Intuitive; fun to operate; and one can order prints of several types, and the framing is a real deal.

Your photos made better. Love this app! I use it to enhance my photos in an artistic style. There are endless choices for settings that let you explore. Sometimes, I just use it as a game to see what will happen.

Fun. We travel and I take photos. Love choosing a few and my daughter and I love to see them interpreted through Oilist. I often keep the results and they bring me happiness when they come up in the photo carousel.

Really Fun App!. I’m a Decoupage Artist & Photographer. Use many of my own photos in my art creations. This app allows me the freedom to ‘paint’ my photos like famous artists (even though I don’t paint) Absolutely love the Maxfield Parrish version. I photographed a rose at night, then used the app. Seriously cool results!

Lots of fun cool affects here. If you get the right pictures you can really make some amazing looking stuff!

This is Incredible. Take your very favorite photos and see what this App Oilist can do, so fun.

Was great, now slow. I agree with the comments made by American Legion. The app worked great at first but is now very slow and doesnt complete a painting even after waiting several minutes for some sign of activity, there is nothing. Im going to remove the app and reload it to see if it works better.

Easy to do great artwork especially from pictures. So many resources brushes and effecfs it is insane.

Fantastical creative app. Just great fun to change photos into something different.

Amazing. It’s captivating just watching the app work. Seriously in love!!!

Great app to create impressionistic oil painting from photos. Wish there are more u tube tutorial on how to use all their tools. If they include watercolor that would be great! Lazy Impressionist

Excellent Fine Art. I use this to alter my digital photos then bring them into various painting apps. Just wonderful and a great many artistic choices to make. Fabulous.

Great App. Lots of options..tho still trying to figure it out.

Oilist. I am a big fan of all your apps since day one. I can’t say enough positive features and a unique interface. My only suggestion is to include a status bar as it is painting. Is Oilist continually painting? One of my favorite Developers 5 stars hands down

This Program is really brilliantly, in that it.... ....let’s you see the decisions it’s making, and, these neural net programs really are, “a big deal,” and I don’t think the rote part of the artwork, and the supplies, I s a fair gatekeeper, so what I’m saying is: (god help me) you really should try this

Amazing. Refreshingly new take on mobile photo filters. I feel like I get a unique output ever time I use it. Much more comparable to the actual art process in painting and drawing. Highly recommend.

Trial & Error. Very cool app, which takes a lot of trial and error to really understand where it’s going with your picture.

Amazing and addicting. Having so much fun with this, it really changes how I look at things because I ask myself, “what will this look like as an oil painting?”. I can’t stop taking pictures and amazing friends as the canvas comes to life!

Oilist rocks!. Just got this app before taking a hike along the San Joaquin River. Orange poppies and purple lupine where in their bloom. Snapped some photos and threw them into The Oilist app. The images were stunning, vibrant...wonderful interpretations by the masters. I can’t wait to print...

Art is in the eye of the beholder!. This is a great app for people who cannot paint! Thanks to Oilist I am an artist. I like the set filters and it's fun to play around with the different strokes to create the finished painting (which looks real)!

Great. I use this app As one of my steps for my own picture designs. Excellent and does what I need the app to do.

Amazing. I am loving the process of watching a picture turned into a work of art. Bravo to the designers!!

Was awesome, quality has dipped.. This app used to be amazing, but a problem that has existed for a while and a recent issue have cause the quality to lessen. The most recent issue, is that the speed of the painting being created is now sluggishly slow. Whereas previously it would paint at a speed that was much faster and reasonable. And the issue that has persisted for a while is, that there’ll be white splotches or tiny white marks present in the painting often, even when no ounce of white exists in that specific area of the the picture. And so it leaves this rough, unfinished quality to the painting, which ruins an otherwise amazing painting. And letting it continue to paint tends to target other things. I really hope they can try to fix these issues, because I can’t devote so much time sitting around waiting for these paintings to generate with it moving as slow as it does and with all the blemishes that make them seem incomplete.

Such a great app. I’ve been into photography for some time, this app makes everything look awesome. Worth the money!

One of the best!. This is one of the absolute best apps for turning photos into art! There are so many styles and options that let you creative unique digital paintings. Fun to watch as you edit the endless parameters!

My New Favorite App. I liked version 1 of Oilist, but this 2.0 update blows me away! It’s so much fun I can’t put it down. The effects are anything from mild to wild and everything in-between. I love the fact that it’s super easy to pause the painting any time you see something you like. Fantastic update, amazing app. Love, love, love.

Fun app!!. Cool how you can make your pics into a piece of fine art! I can’t stop playing with it!!

Hooked from the get-go. Love this app. Truly let’s you release the artist you always wanted to be. I can’t worth a darn but I can take great pictures and this app gives me the best of both worlds.

Nice very nice. Cool software wonder if desktop version exists ?

Only one style. I’m learning how to use the app, but only one style, the Oilist, works. All others turn off before starting to paint.

Wild happenings. I'm playing with this app just an evening but it is already fun and expressive. Great creativity ability. I need to play more.

This is a wonderful app for digital art. To watch it render is a joy. Hoping for more styles in the future as the existing ones are so much fun.

Ignore last review. Apologies to app makers. Previous review meant for another app. Oilist works well and does what it claims. Existing photos able to be used and they look great. Highly recommend app.

Great on I Phone and I Pad Minni. I gave you 5⭐️because on I Phone it does great but on I Pad forget it just crashes sorry I changed my mind just tried again on I Pad working great so 10 stars from me my photos look like gorgeous. Paintings on both awesome app thanks

20% better than free app Prisma. 20% better than prisma, could do with basic improvements like marking snapshotted images with the settings used.

Fantastic.... The beauty of this app compared to prisma is that this app doesn’t upload your images to their servers, thousands of miles away and violate your privacy by legally being able to own any photos you upload. I seriously love this app. Definitely worth purchasing.

All great downunder. I’m ready to purchase the app as it is very good so I’m just having trouble getting my purchase done. Troyboyart etc

Discovery of passion for colour. I have often wondered how the great master ventured on a blank canvas and represent their view of reality. This app informs your spirit of its inventive nature. I love photos and got frustrated with my inability to turn them into paintings. Olist helps find your inner Artist. Will often now do this creating gifts for friends Stefan Nesz GAbriola bc

Not impressed with this app !. I don't know why folks are rating this app so highly. Played around with it for quite a bit but didn't like most of what it did. A waste of money in my opinion.

Keeps getting bigger and bigger. There is no way to clear the huge cache. The app is going to explode soon !

A creative process of reactive decision making, fun and experimental.. This is a fun

Love it!!!. I am LOVing it!!! My landscape photos are reaching a whole new level in artistry and Inspiring me to make real life oil paintings from the results!! Thx app creators!! Oilist is fun, rewarding and relaxing to use unlike a lot of glitchy, ad-filled apps out there..

One of the best Generative Art app. It's superb app with lots of variation parameters.. no 2 art pieces are made same with this app. Thank lord for putting pause button. To make this app stand out at top, request developer to please add 2 features: 1) Give us manual brush control so as to selectively use brush with different effects. 2) Option to save in PNG or TIFF & Vector format - Lossless SVG or PDF formats. Ready to pay for these extra features. Hope this year's update make our wish come true.

Oilist. Tap a finger and release the artist in you Michael R

Crashing fixed.... Cannot finish applying effect on picture without the app crashing on iPhone. **** Update: the new version fixed the crashing, now enjoying this great app!

Waste of time and money. This is a con. The app does not generate interesting results and seems nothing more than a random pixels generator pretending to be an aid to creativity. A lot of options that seem to generate more or less the same result. Sadly “money back” is not one of those options.

SteveC. Day two after purchase. As a mixed media and digital artist, all I can say is, this is great. Love it. I can import my creations into Procreate and continue to work on the artwork. Worth the money if you intend to actually use it as intended.

If only it'll work right. Great app, innovative twist on photo reworking but.... only when it's not freezing or crashing. Hope they get it fixed. Till then 3

Superb app. Absolutely amazing app, endless choices.

Need Shutdown and Reboot to avoid Crashes. When crash happened, needed to turn off device and turn on again, and ran Oilist first before running other apps in order to work properly. Seems like memory management problem of either the iOS system, the other apps that I ran before, or from Oilist itself. When Oilist is running, it's good to watch the progress of the paintings.

Wow. This thing paints better than I do !

Unlimited creativity. Hundreds of combinations - take your time with this - it can do whatever you imagine

Wow!. The creative possibilities are endless!! So cool!! Love it!

Love it but crashes before I can save finished product. I love the results. Finished affects on the photos are very cool. However the app on my iPad continues (as in almost every single time) to crash before I can save the finished product. Very disappointing

Awesome. Creates really stunning impressionist paintings from your photos. Supply the right image and the results are stunning!

One star. Takes forever to make changes. Waste of time.

Oilist. Really fun but it eats up your battery.

Not able to create images that look like art in App Store. Skip. I regret spending the money. Update after response: I use several apps like this to generate content for my multiple social audiences. None of the images I made were impressive so I gave up after 15 - 20 mins of tinkering. An app like this shouldn't require much time to learn. I used presets and attempted to customize. I'm a professional digital artist who has used photoshop since version one and use many, many apps like this such as Prisma, Pixelmator, Enlight, Snapseed, Alter, Phoster, Artisto as well as OSX programs and web services to generate AI digital art. Maybe you'll have better luck but I wouldn't risk purchase without a free trial. The app has high reviews (I hope they're honest) so maybe you'll have more success.

Incredible fantastic. Great

Evolution… !!!!!. Th

My new favorite app.. Takes a bit of using the app to know where you're going but I really am happy with this app!

Ugly styles. The styles of the paintings they give you look bad. I was hoping for more realistic painting styles and sketches / drawing styles

Worth the Time to Create Masterpieces!. I am glad that I waited 8 months before writing a review, because I might have agreed with some of the lower-rated reviews when I began. But, I now find that this app is magnificent! I don't read manuals, preferring to learn while experimenting with an app until I get the results I'm happy with. If you start off expecting Oilist to match the examples in 15 seconds, you'll be disappointed. As a former real-world painter who spent months on a painting, I eventually decided to let the app do its thing and come back to it later. It did a great job on the default settings, matching the examples, but I decided to play with the options to see what I could do. Some things worked, others didn't, just as experimenting did with oils and acrylics. To my joy, I went on to to win an award for an Oilist painting I submitted in a digital art show. I have 3 suggestions for dissatisfied users, and one request for the developer for future improvements. 1. TECHNICALLY, You will get the best results from your largest resolution images, with good composition, areas of light and dark, and great contrast (unless you want soft/impressionist-like results). 2. INVEST THE TIME to allow the app to fully resolve the style you choose, make sure you choose higher 'density' so any specks of "canvas" will cover more quickly, and adjust back to suit your needs, THEN make adjustments, and experiment. If you want fast ho-hum results, there are 10+ apps that'll do it for you. I use a few, but nothing comes close to Oilist. 3. FREE YOURSELF FROM EXPECTATION, and let yourself make mistakes; see how Oiliest resolves them. My best work seems to arise from surprising results/accidents and the intuitive ways Oilist responds, and if you don't like the results, try an adjustment! To the developer--While I'd love an 'erase' & 'redo' tool for small areas, I'd be happiest with a masking tool that can be introduced at any stage of the painting process. And to anyone reading to the bottom here, I was not paid or asked by the app to write anything here, and as a harsh critic of many apps I've reviewed, I stand by everything above! It's a rare 5 star review for me!

Great for wanna be artists. I am one, but have trouble letting the creativity flow. Oilist breaks the barrier for me and being able to get it on canvas is a coup. Way to go folks.

Awful. This app doesn't work at all. All it does is has words pop up saying cleaning brushes ect. So I am not happy paid 3.99. I want my money back this app doesn't work. I think it's frozen up cause I can't get anything to work this app. Un installer. Very unhappy. I am disable so I want my apps to work cause I am on a fix income. Please give me my money back.

Fantastic App!!. This REALLY works. I have had wonderful times painting my photos and I am dazzled by the results. You are actually able to imitate the style of your favorite artist.

Not Impressed. For the price I expected quicker application of image designs, not having to wait around. Played around for a little bit with various images with different styles and have decided it wasn't worth $2.99, but less than that.

Love the texture options.. Love

Fantastic. Loving this App...highest admiration

Amazing. This is so much fun!!!!

Beautiful images. The results are beautiful every time and the painting process is fun to watch. I really love playing with the different styles and seeing the results against the same base image.

An Incredible Art Tool. The effects you can build with Oilist are just mind-blowing in my opinion. I have taken some paintings that I created and was pretty proud of and turned them into something truly amazing with this program. I should say, too, that I usually don't have any interest in apps that will supposedly turn your photos and images into regular paintings or oil paintings. I always found the notion of that concept and genre just silly. But, I'm glad I took a chance with this one because to me it is really different and stands out from the crowd in what it allows you to create. Plus, I really like the aspect of the app on how it is constantly working to create effects in your photos and keeps generating new looks the entire time you're using it. Definitely a one-of-a-kind application in my opinion and well worth the decent asking price. Thanks for creating this app, its continued support and God bless. iPad Air 2/ iOS 11.2.t

Art. Just like the masters

Fun!. I enjoyed playing with the paint in real-time and creating lots of versions of the image to choose from. The app is really well done, and the paint effects look awesome!

Fun! Fun! Fun!. I just love experimenting with all the features!

What a lovely feast. Yummy artsy fun!!!

Why has this app quit working???. So sad! I love this app!

Decker. Absolutely superb geniusAbsolutely superb. I

Spectacular results!. This app allows you to create fantastic and unique digital art. Patience while the app continuously "paints" will result in spectacular results. The app also creates high resolution images so you can have prints made without fear of pixelation. I would love to see the ability to add a digital signature directly to my art but even without that feature I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys converting photos into fantabulous digital art. An absolute steal at $2.99, WORTH EVERY PENNY!

So good. I love this app. Fantastic job

Glitchy, freezing, not what it appears to be. I've tried using this several times and it does make mesmerizing screensaver like art but you can't stop and restart. The brushes done seem to work and the whole app freezes. If it could do what the demo video said it would it would be amazing. But it doesn't

Five Star All The Way. Except... Five star all the way! I have one complaint but that doesn't damage that Five. My one thing is.. can you add a skip button to most of the tools so they can go slower or faster to the feel that YOU are painting? All I gotta do is a drag and click of buttons and boom. Also, can you make yourself drag the brush in the way you want it or the way you want it to look? Thanks and please go on with this app! It's fantastic otherwise!

Great but how do you start new project??!!. See title

AMAZING!!!!!!!. THIS APP IS SO COOL! IT MADE ALL MY IMAGES SO AMAZING AND STYLISH!!!!! EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THIS APP!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Wow!. Wonderful!

🥰. Thank you!! It’s perfect!

Waste of $. Not sure why this app has so many good reviews? It’s garbage.

Relaxing and satisfying. This app is pretty nice. The instructions are quite clear and it operates exactly as advertised. It only takes a moment to start taking shape. The longer you let it roll, the more detail and style it will incorporate. Mid-painting snapshots are a nice idea and linking to a printable canvas service is convenient. Worth the money if you're looking for an easy yet sophisticated oil painting processor.

This App Rocks. Intuitive, smart, fun. Thanks for a great app guys!

Makes photos look like real painting. This app will allow you to completely transform average pics into beautiful paintings. It is incredible what this app can do right before your eyes. Relatively simple to use, too.

Great but... I love the app use it all the time. However recently the app has been running very slow. I have an iPhone 7plus and all other apps are closed. Any tips on way it is running slow is appreciated as I love using the app.

Incredible!. I don't think I have ever been more impressed by an app! It's obvious this app has been developed meticulously because the complexity is mind blowing yet it's very user friendly. Well done!

The photo painting app I've been waiting for. I've often used painting apps and been unhappy with all results. Prisma is solid, waterlogue is great too, but Oilist gives complete control. It continuously paints while you make adjustments to brush size, type, density, direction and added chaos (spin, zoom, explode and noise). I haven't had this much fun editing a photo in a long time.

Misha. I love this app

Gorgeous images. This app provides literally infinite possibilities. I love watching the images transform - mesmerizing. The interface is great, very intuitive but also deep with a lot of control over the image making process.

Very satisfying. Love it! Love it! You just have to try it.

Wonderful. Wonderful app. Really easy to use to transform a photo. Only issue is trying to order the print. In the U.S. and the form kept on asking for Canadian province

Sophisticated & Polished. This one will “Wow!” you!

JohnnyG. Probably the best app I use!

Wow. Makes me look good..as I am just a photographer and not a painter...LOVE IT

A bit disappointed. I find the images to be unusable because there are either white spots of unused space, or when everything is colored in, the "painting" feels like a blurry painting of the original image ... I tried all the styles with a simple photo of a baby, and many times the styles would make her look like had the measles or mumps and make bumpy changes in the skin... I will definitely await updates and look forward to improvements ... I think you could have the app be $1 for three styles and then an IAP for access to other styles... also, perhaps styles could be named after impressionist painters? That would be easier to understand than try each on... also would like to have a simple finished painting option rather than watch the painting unfold, I don't want images with blank spaces . Thanks

The Cats Meow Mix. I rarely write reviews on anything... but I have to write a 5 star review on this one!!! This s is so addictive and so fun to use. I'm going to love making canvases wit this. =^..^=. 🐾🦁

A W E S O M E app support!. I've been able to make great art out of my photos thanks to not only a great app, but AWESOME app support from the developer! Well worth the price...BTW...I'm still using an iPhone 6 Plus and I can't wait to see how good my work is when I upgrade to an iPhone 8 in a couple months.

Dosnt work. Dosnt work with photo library, keeps telling me I need to enable access that is already enabled.

This is. A ton of creative fun👍
