Layers iPhone App Review

When you open the app, you get a gallery, in which you can view previous drawings and create new ones (by using the + at the top right). By creating a new drawing, you will open up the window that allows you to doodle. By default, there are 2 layers; one transparent (top layer), the other opaque white (bottom layer).

The brush and eye dropper icons are the brushes and colour picker menus, respectively.
 
By tapping the icon in the bottom left, you can screw around with the layers, doing things such as adding, deleting or modifiying the background. You can import images into new layers, so you can easily personalize your images. Due to my lack of artistic know-how, I simply took an image of the Grand Canyon and drew a stick figure on it, just to use as an example. The cool thing is that the stick figure is on a separate layer, meaning I can modify it in any way, shape or form without messing up my picture of the Grand Canyon.

The great thing about having multiple layers is that I can botch up my image severely, without affecting other elements of my image. The app gets a 9.5/10. If there were more brushes, that score would definitely get bumped up to a 10.
 
Overall, if you’ve got a spare A$5.99 that you can scrape out of the couch cushions, you should definitely give this a whack.
