ValueViewer App Reviews

Its good but...

Good start and I like that you can choose various value keys. Works on iPad as well but is not as a universal app. Would be better if it was. More frame sizes, or better yet, adding custom frame sizes would be very beneficial. Price is good and I am looking forward to updates. Keep up the good work.

Way Too Simple

Five bucks is a lot to ask for such a simple app. You cant print, share, save, frame in custom sizes... Etc. Needs lots of work but the concept is useful.

Good, but...

This app is very useful for painters who work outdoors or from photographs. But... the app only allows you to reduce a picture to either two values (black & white), or three values (black, white, and grey). The app needs an upgrade to allow the user to pick the number of values to display, rather than just two or three values.

This app works well on my 6+ If you are having problems try uninstall & reinstall...

Not reliable enough

It started out to be a very promising tool. However, it continuously freezes and seems more like a waste of time. The idea is a good one, though.

Was 5 star, but no longer working!

I loved this app...when it was working. Its such a helpful tool whether Im plein air painting, or in the studio. I MISS it, because it no longer functions on my phone. I hope there will be an update soon to fix the bugs. PLEASE! As I said, working, its a solid 5 star!!!

Really handy!

After experimenting with this app, I can see I will be using it a lot....both outside and in. Its great for checking studio work, too. As a small improvement, Id like to see just one more value in addition to the three-values shown.

Great in theory...

I love this app when it works. Most of the time it shuts itself down when I select a photo off my phone. App support button doesnt take you to support, so somebody please fix the bugs!

Very Handy

Handy app for distinguishing values in a possible painting. Three values is too limiting tho! Please add a fourth and then this would be a 5 star review.

Great for designing

The values can be adjusted to change mood. Each step alters the proportion of light to dark. Three values is the best in this usage. Size formatting helps match image to panel size. Image can be expanded or shrunk to fit. It would be nice to have a grid overlay and at some point templates to play with color schemes.

Easy to use

Works on my iPad and iPhone, no save feature though that I can see. The web page for info is not available. Its a bit too expensive for what it does but hey, if you need something and it helps...

Updated.. GREAT!

I have to say that even though I was a fan of the last version, there were things missing and I just wasnt 100 percent satisfied but now with the update, additions of Notan and being able to control the levels, and the inclusion of many other controls that put me in the drivers seat... well, I am just loving this app! Thank you for going to the trouble of making this one of my most used apps ever! :)

Several short comings

Best to take pictures using camera, then pull up with this app. Pictures are not saved otherwise. The newer version has great potential but the bar along the bottom seems to get out of view so nothing works. Have to power off to get it to work again.

Outstanding app for artists

I use this app ALL the time. Great for evaluating values, composition. Especially good tool for plein air painters. Take a quick photo of your scene and see the basic values, adjust them to suit, and crop for common frame dimensions. Outstanding customer service, too.

Broken already

I just got this and suddenly the grids will not come on. I tried restarting, another picture, a new photograph nothing. No matter what I do the grid stays grated out and will not respond.

Needs two features

Great for B/W NOTAN but could use an optional 4 value levels feature. Would also like to see another grid option for thirds, a useful alternative to Golden Mean.

Problem

Grid wont work (iPad 1). Hope they come up with a fix for that. Otherwise, nice app.

Frame tool does not work

The frame tool only works one way......horizontally or vertically but will not let me alter both! I wasted money on this app!!

Hooked!

This app has simplified the design process for me in the field and in the studio. Some of its suggested massing options are so much better than anything I could have imagined on my own. Works perfectly. Not a single crash. As for the guy who had problems with sizing and cropping, I thought the same thing at first, but it is cropping both directions. The app is smart enough to maximize the screen size so you may need to rotate your art. All of this is on the help page.

Value viewer

I just bought this ap and only 2 of the 4 features work. The only 2 that work are the values and the framing adjustment. Very disappointing!
