First Post In 2013: Sketch Guru

Hello! This is my first blog post for this year 2013. I promise you guys that this year will be more than just cool apps, but also amazing and hopefully productive apps. Okay, so let's get started.


Today's app is called Sketch Guru. As all of you guys known, sketch apps in the AppStore and in PlayStore are very ugly by means of effects, but personally I love this app because it is the only app I have seen by far that has the best sketch effects. Not only does it make great sketch effects, but also watercolor, crayon, chalk, and other effects too.


Sketch Guru allows you to pick either if you want to choose a photo from your gallery or take a photo with app to use as a photo for the app's effects, which I think is needless to say, but probably something that people might want to know before they'd like to download it.


The app also has a cropping tool, so you could crop your picture to the size you want and the portion you want only.


The application has got a selection of effects that you can use. Personally I'd like to recommend using the Gouache effect and the Watercolor effect. These effects give for than you thought they would. If you don't understand what I just said, why not try it out for yourself and see the difference of the effects of an ordinary sketch apps from the effects of Sketch Guru. I am sure you will find them totally different.


What else is good about the app? It is totally free. With ads at the top of the app's interface, the creators had enough money to make it free forever. Unless ads disturb you, I guess this will be fine. One thing that is also good about it is that it is also available on the PlayStore by Google. My sister owns an Android, and apparently she has the app too.

One more thing about this app is that it allows you to save pictures in many sizes.

If you don't believe me that this app is so awesome, then take the people's word for it:
  • Conductor by Mellowj83  Great app
  • Amazing!!! by ipad6  Love it
  • Awesome! N4ndinh0  I am giving a 4 star rate because I think it needs more filters, but it's still a pretty awesome app! Would recommend.
Remarks from me:
  • Cool
  • User-friendly
  • Slow in processing the effects though, but I guess in order to get what you want, you have got to suffer some how, right?
  • FREE
  • beautiful effects
  • 5 stars
Here are some of the pictures that I have made by using this app alone:

Are the pictures just lovely? The effects not only add texture, but also adds colors. If you'd like to download this, here is its iTunes. By the way, if you are using your iDevice, this link will redirect you to the App Store.

I am not really sure if you are using your mobile Android, you will be redirected to the Play Store when you click the link, but here is the link to its Play Store.

Yap! That was my first post for this year 2013, and I hope you enjoyed reading it. If you found this post helpful, share it on Facebook, and if you found it cool, fun, artistic, or in any way interesting, tweet about it, so your friends will know about this too. I would love it if you would comment anything, may it be bad or good ones or just suggestions. Thank you, and happy new year!
