New Paint X App Reviews

0 add

Failed and abandoned

Program development is dead with no way to seek improvements. Could have been good.

i like the old "paint x" better

i like the old "paint x" better. It has a closer resemblance to MS Paint which I am used to. I am dumping preview and deleting new paint x for just paint x!

Finally, Paint

A simple program that does simple drawing and nothing more. Hopefully it doesn't get updated to the point where it becomes not the simple, quick little program it is.

So close...

EDIT: ok, so apparently there is no save button because it saves any changes made to image automatically… I did not realize this when I made my original comment below, which I will leave up to clarify what I found helpful from this app. Given the save feature oddness, I will simply make a copy of the image I want to edit so I can have an original to fall back on should I make a mistake. This saving anomily is a bit annoying, but for what I am looking for this is sadly the best free app I have found after over an hour of searching. Alll the other apps either had a problem with the sizes of my images, wouldn’t let me expand my canvas, or wouldn’t let me copy my image within the same canvas. This was my original comment that has since been rendered moot: All I want to do is be able to adjust the size of my canvas and place several copies of the same large image onto the same canvas, one next to the other. Such a task used to be so easy in the days before apps…. I thought I finally found it with this app; I was able to use the cop tool to expand the canvas (albeit in annoyingly small increments) and then was able to copy the image several times and place the copies next to each other… And then I could not find any button for saving the file. I finally just hit the “x”, figuring I’d get the usual “Do you want to save changes?” pop-up box. No such luck. Sigh… Back to scouring the app store.

Undo 100% necessary, Automatic save irritating

It does run better than the old one. However, while using the fill tool I accidentally used it on the black outline of the template I was filling and it changed the entire outline. I tried to look for the undo button and found no undo button. The automatic saving is irritating, I was hoping to fix it by closing out of it and just reopening the blank template, however it had already saved the template, had to delete the template and find the original. It’s more irriating than having to forget to save and doing it all over again than repeatedly having to delete the image, finding it, then trying again over and over.

I must be missing something

I want to create a canvas of a certain size; did that. I want to open a different image, resize it to a certain height, and copy-paste it into my larger blank canvas. I will then copy-paste other resized images to create a collage. But when I copy-paste my resized (and saved) image, it pastes as what seems to be its original too-large size. Expected behavior: Resize, save, select all, copy, switch to blank canvas, Paste, and image should paste in the resized, smaller size.

Launch window

Only thing i can see is a black launch window a nothing more… it doesn’t work!

line tool?

Since moving from Win to Mac I missed the Paint app more than I expected, the previous version of this app Paint X was a great solution for me, but the UI did feel pretty dated. This is a great ‘update’, the interface is laid out very well, I’m happy to see pinch zoom on the trackpad works, the watermark on the free version looks much nicer, and other UI improvements. However, it took me a minute to find the Text tool, I would prefer that not be burried in the shapes tool, and I still haven’t found the Line tool, is that really gone?? That’s an essential feature for me. edit: changed from 3 to 5 stars, thank you for the developer response! It still seems the curved line tool only has an arrow option, but that should usually work fine and I often will be able to easily erase the head of the arrow if needed.

Uninstalled immediately

Installed this “update”. Only saw a “launch window”. Waited. Nothing. Quit the app and tried again. Waited. Nothing. Decided that maybe it had been replaced by some kind of malicious app that was doing something bad in the background so I quickly uninstalled it. Won’t be installing ever again unfortunately.
