Artify by Kodama Studios is free for today, Saturday, May 14! It normally sells for $1.99 in the App Store.
From the App Store description:
Inspired by the great Impressionist painters Monet, Renoir, and Degas, Artify instantly transforms your favorite photos into masterpieces. Create gorgeous impressionistic interpretations of photos of friends, family, landscapes, or anything at all. Reveal and highlight any detail you want with just the touch of a finger.
Simple, elegant and instant.
I downloaded the app. It’s easy to use Artify for one-touch “art” inspired by three classic painting styles. The app is very easy to use, but also has a good editing toolset to really tweak and customize the effects. It supports full 5 MP resolution on an iPhone 4.
At this time, it’s limited to only three relatively similar styles, but this free download gets you into the upgrade path. I prefer the variety of styles and the level of detail in AutoPainter or the JixPix painting apps, but Artify saves in full-resolution, is very fast, and “paints” in styles not really found in either of those two apps.
The App Store description says “Free for 24 hours only with Free App Magic by MagicSolver” but I had no problems downloading for free using the normal links. This freebie will disappear fast — within a few hours, so grab it now!
Artify is a Universal app and works great on any iDevice. Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 3.1 or later.
