Cover Art Studio Reviews

by Thenewno3

As a designer who has created multiple album/single covers for a range of artists, I had to try CoverArtStudio - and couldn’t stop laughing. This line in their App Store description - “These days a great album cover is a great picture and a parental advisory sticker, ask Drake” - is pretty much all you get: import your own photo and slap a parental advisory sticker on it lol. You get a couple basic “stickers” for free - great if you’re designing for 5-year olds - but other than that it’s trash. Try exporting the pic: a whopping 75kb file size, dimensions that won’t work on any digital platform. For anything “better” - and I say this with a bag of salt - you have to get a subscription.

Trust me, any other photo app lets you do more than this one. And in all honesty: if you’re a serious musician who needs cover art for a serious release, you know you have to either pay a pro or, if you’re able to, use a real design app yourself. Doesn’t even have to be the Adobe suite for big bucks (Gimp does a fine job and is free) but CoverArtStudio here is a joke. Don’t waste your time or money.

1. The crop control is trash, you can only adjust the size of the image as long as you can touch the resize tool which disappears once the image is too big.

2. There are no templates other apps who dont sell themselves as "cover art" apps have way more to offer

Step it up guys this a great idea and go-to for artist on the move I would love an app that actually smacks this idea out the park

I ain’t finna lie, I use CoverArtStudio everytime I drop new music, but it gets very annoying, I cracked my phone for the first time because of CoverArtStudio lol obviously my fault but shows you how frustrating it can get, everytime im in the middle of my covers, I’m always forced to restart because I either crashes, gets stuck and frozen, or I can’t even move around any stickers or logos anymore, if you don’t wanna deal wit any of that I do not recommend CoverArtStudio, but if you have patience then I guess give it a go but, the creators of CoverArtStudio need to do a lot of work for real.

If you guys wanna make an app like this, cool, if you wanna charge, cool, BUT FIX IT!!! You can do anything with text at all. Plus half the time when you are typing something in the screen it locks you out of doing anything else. App would be awesome if they actually updated the features. This thing is extremely hard to work with unless you want an album cover with no words at all.

I have used CoverArtStudio in the past so idk why all of a sudden this issue has come up but CoverArtStudio makes my cover art dimensions too small for stores. Every time I save a cover art from CoverArtStudio and attempt yo upload it to Distrokid, I get a “Your image is too small. Your image is 800x800 but stores require at least 1000x1000 pixels in both height & width.” Notification on distrokid. Is there a way to change the dimensions of the images that can be edited on Cover Art app.

For such a simple app, the interface is surprisingly difficult to use. Things like editing type or going from one feature to the next is challenging and I wound up deleting CoverArtStudio out of frustration. It’s a shame, because it’s a fun idea.

I freaking love CoverArtStudio and I got the premium but I’m not gonna continue using CoverArtStudio If every time I do it crashes!! I will be in the middle of my cover and then it crashes and I have to restart over and over smh fix this!!

by Drew Bees

I’ve used CoverArtStudio before now I’m using it again and every time I try to upload a picture to customize it says 100% but doesn’t upload

by GTB Stxppa

CoverArtStudio has so many amazing features and I would use it for everything but EVERY TIME I GO TO THE MARKET PLACE IT KICKS ME OUT CoverArtStudio and I have to restart. Please fix your app I love it and it has a lot of potential don’t let it go to waste because of this one flaw thank you

by VIVALAWILDWILD

Ad all that stuff is good but CoverArtStudio frequently freezes
And does not give me ability to save work also tends to crash when multiple layers are being used I seen

by Tylerh23

Yo when using the text tool it won’t let me exit with what I have chosen to be on my image and I just have to undo in order to go back or do anything else there’s no confirm on the text option once you’ve got it set at least not for me

by XXDraculaXxBoyPR

I pay for the premium options,I’ve been very patient because I know it must not be easy but with each update the stability has gotten progressively worst! Now I can’t barely download any new stickers because it just CRASHES!

If I’m paying for a service atleast make it work correctly guys!

This is an amazing app to create album covers, song covers ETC. I can understand how hard it is to find non copy right images, i do feel there needs to be a bigger selection. Love CoverArtStudio .

by Bleuboy3

Absolutely love CoverArtStudio, but recently it’s been crashing quite frequently. running on an iPhone 8+.

When adjusting the size of the graphics, once u either get really big or really small, it starts to spin every fast and it’s annoying. It needs to be fixed and then CoverArtStudio would be perfect

by NorthSaintWest

Opened the door for masterpiece and uniqueness. This is one of the most extravagant apps in the cover art game. Has just the right tools to create a cover art. The image adjusting isn’t easy so if you have the sauce with CoverArtStudio 🍪. Plus it’s free so enjoy. Thanks developers.

I love what you guys have done. The only two things I’d like to see improve with CoverArtStudio ; 1) Add lines or a graph to show where the center of the text, images, etc. are being placed and 2) Add more variety and higher quality imagery. Otherwise, I’m completely satisfied with the parental advisory logo! 😁

I made my very first album cover using CoverArtStudio and I loved it! I just wish you could add text and there was more of a selection of pictures. Other than that it was great! So happy I found this.

Basically Instagram, Snapchat interface when creating a story but just saving it to your phone.

There platforms are much easier to use, and you could just upload it to your story.

Waste of time

by Lloyd Lust

Great idea but soo many bugs CoverArtStudio needs a serious update an more options when that happens CoverArtStudio could get 5 stars from anyone

by Fafethhy

I like the set up of CoverArtStudio they just make it difficult to downsize the logo like I don't need the parental advisory to be so big I gotta struggle to make a decent size

by MFINGDREWW

Tried to make a cover art with it. it was kinda difficult but it worked so 4 stars. lol.
