## Review summary

Users love Heavypaint for its unique minimalistic approach, innovative brush tools, and suitability for plein air painting. However, many experience frustrations with app crashes, poor file management, unstable saving/loading, confusing navigation gestures, and an oversized UI that cannot be customized. The lack of an internal gallery and some bugs in undo/redo also negatively impact the experience. Despite these issues, the app's concept and features receive strong praise from both amateur and professional artists.

### Pros

- Unique and innovative painting concept focusing on shapes and visual abstraction.
- Minimalistic and streamlined user interface promoting fast, zenlike painting experiences.
- Highly appreciated brush and tool set including unique brushes, blur and smudge tools.
- Valued by plein air painters for quick and easy painting on the go, simulating traditional painting well.
- Playback feature useful for demos and tutorials, and useful for artists seeking to improve technique.

### Cons

- Frequent app crashes, especially during saving/exporting work and complex tasks.
- Poor file management with difficulties saving, loading, and exporting artworks properly.
- Frustrating and awkward navigation controls and gestures, including panning, zooming, undo/redo issues.
- UI scaling problems: oversized interface elements that cannot be adjusted, and toolbars covering screen area.
- Lack of a gallery or easy project management inside the app to view, open, and organize works.
