User Reviews

HEAVYPAINT offers a strong painting experience with expressive brushes and an analog-feel, streamlined UI that centers on process and fundamentals. Many reviews praise the brush tools, the responsive painting engine, and the supportive community. However, persistent bugs and stability issues—crashes, freezes, and repeated progress loss—undermine usability. Data management and licensing problems (export/import failures, cloud sync, and restore purchases) are common. Undo delays and gallery instability hurt reliability. The subscription/ownership friction also bothers some long-time users. Overall, a powerful painter hampered by quality and persistence problems.
Pros
  • Expressive brushes and a powerful painting engine with unique tools
  • Analog-feel, streamlined UI that emphasizes process and fundamentals, making it easy to learn
  • Active, responsive development and a supportive, engaged community
  • Great for plein air and on-the-go painting with a focused workflow
Cons
  • Frequent bugs causing crashes, freezes, and loss of work across sessions
  • Data management and licensing issues: export/import failures, cloud syncing problems, and restore purchases friction
  • Undo delays and gallery instability, plus occasional input delays that reduce reliability
  • Subscription/ownership friction and concerns about ongoing charges and feature gating

I use a lot of textured in my art and was otherwise thrilled to use heavy paint! Unfortunately, the severe amount of bugs make this app incredibly difficult to work with. Artwork corrupts easily and messes up whole sections, undo button doesn’t work properly and instead of undoing the previous stroke, it removes the strokes prior. The entirety of the canvas corrupts far too easily and I ended up losing an entire artwork that is stuck on a boot loop of the app attempting to fix the corruption and reopening the file over and over. I do love the brushes and the rainbow scale, but this app is genuinely high risk, low reward. I had really high hopes and unfortunately they were crushed. QOL updates are desperately needed, I really want to use this app, but unfortunately it’s just really not worth the all the cortisol

i redownloaded this app just a few minutes ago because i missed the painting tools it had and theres a HUGE problem. i like to chicken scratch/go over one spot multiple times in my drawings and that for some reason activates the color picker?? and its so aggressive im like fighting with it the whole time and not only that but when i DEACTIVATE it it undoes my most recent line when i go to draw another or just completely obliterates my drawing. please please please fix it i really like the brushes but this is terrible
