Cupixel: AR Trace & Classes Reviews

by Potatowayto

I feel like some of these reviews are fake.

Cupixel is filled with useless videos. They market their tracing feature but it is almost impossible to find. You have to scroll to the bottom of Cupixel & buy a subscription to even use it. You upload a picture from your camera roll, then Cupixel changes is to this really weird a difficult black and white image that removes tons of details or mushes them together (I even adjusted the settings to max details), then when you finally get to the tracing part your photo will not show up anywhere. No “show photo” function, no explanation, nothing.

Difficult to use and too many useless videos. A huge waste of time.

The trace function is clearly a non-working element across many devices based upon other reviews and my own experience. Got no response from app’s trace function despite having high contrast between working surface and canvas. Got no response even after increasing lighting to resolve any potential shadows. There are no trouble shooting tips in Cupixel and help is only available as an online chat (which is incredibly frustrating because not everyone can be crafting and hobbying during business hours). Cupixel is clearly half-baked at this point and shouldn’t be a PAID item yet as the lack of both written troubleshooting instructions in Cupixel for those of us with responsibilities during business hours and the number of people reporting issues demonstrates that we are the beta testers. Poor form, really poor form.

Cupixel is great, if you want to spend $156 a year to trace a picture. you can barely do anything without having to do the subscription and i’d rather learn how to draw it than trace it for $13. The advertisement shows you what Cupixel is mostly for which is tracing but you can’t do that without having to pay the subscription. If you dont mind $13 a month, than its most likely a great app but i don’t know if it is cause i can’t pay the subscription!!!! (sorry this id mostly about the monthly fee)

It leads you to believe that it will provide painting assistance and help with fine details. It does not, the “teachers” cant be interacted with and to be honest they don’t seem like they know any more than your average notebook doodler. There’s no color blending help, there’s no arranging or layering assistance, there’s not even something that tells you how to effectively use the paint they included!! COLORING BOOKS DO THIS and this expensive subscription based service can not.

Why would anyone pay these people?

As someone who has touched a pencil before, it’s absolutely useless. Its a lightbox you have to subscribe to, and one that requires your phone to be opened for hours, and you still have to pray that the camera tracking doesn’t derail everything, like it did to me several times in the first few minutes.

I had such high hopes for this because it eludes that it does more than it actually does. Its nothing more than a glorified AR Projector with a community of people who are incapable of helping you

It’s pandering, and it makes me feel like it thinks Im stupid.

Go buy an HP printer and download a free photo editor app, save yourself the energy.

First of all I bought the kit and it say right on the box “Free 30 day Trial” and when I signed up, I got a 3 day trial!! Second, it’s so complicated that I’m getting frustrated and just want a refund on the trial AND the kit!!! Do everyone have this much trouble starting out?

Edit: I was able to get things set up properly and it definitely seems like something I’m going to enjoy! It just takes time and I need to learn patience! Being asked to do a review on a product that you just got is probably not the best idea. Ask me again in 2 weeks and I’ll probably LOVE it! It’s just taking a minute.

WOW, what amazing artwork !!!

I bought the this app Sketch Art Box for my child, 9.5 years old, he was super excited from the moment we opened the box, everything was super organized with the highest quality and attention to details, it was super easy to follow all instructions and steps in Cupixel , the most amazing part that my son without a professional painting experience, after 2 hrs, he got an amazing result (he did a selfie), I am surely going to buy another this app box. (to my other child), highly recommended !!!

Cupixel is difficult to navigate if you just want to draw on your own. There are tons of resources to learn for beginners and I see great potential. When you sign up they give you a stand to help you draw and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. The teachers, classes, and quality of the this app stand is why I gave it 5 stars even if Cupixel navigation needs work.

Now I don’t like writing reviews unless I can give five stars. This one I can. I have loved using Cupixel. I have learned so much and it’s only been a month.

I did a charcoal Moon scene as my first video class and it actually looks like a moon! And before I hated using charcoal but now I really like using it!!!

Highly recommend especially if you want to learn about different kinds of art work along with videos and tips how to do them yourself!!!

Totally worth the money. Works exactly as described and I was able to make gorgeous free hand art in a small amount of time. Everything right now has to be made on a square but it can always be cut to shape after. There are live experiences and guided artworks or you can do something on your own. Great for any age. Would be an excellent addition to anyone that finds coloring and creating relaxing. Loved it!

I found this and bought it on a whim and am happy I did! They have tons of options across many different mediums and are all led by artists. They are very informative and easy to follow along with.

Smart tracing takes a little getting used to but once you get it down it’s game on. I love that you can use your own pictures on top of all of the different things it comes with. You could use this all day and still barely search the surface of the possibilities!

I stumbled upon Cupixel and had a few questions for the developers, and was blown away by the customer service. Everyone I spoke with was incredibly kind and helpful. Cupixel itself is just as impressive, the instructors are very clear and engaging, and I love the variety of projects that are available. I have tremendously enjoyed everything I’ve made so far, and can’t wait to continue improving my skills by using Cupixel. The annual subscription has been more than worth it for me.

Cupixel is really good I like the smart tracking paper thing and the other features like adding other people to the membership so I am debating whether or not I should buy the subscription because it also not a bad price for what u get they update almost daily.
People have lots of discount on tools
You can join live classes. Twice a week.
You can share it with 3 people.
You can chat with their artists on spaces. And Cupixel is getting better and better more features coming up all the time. For 7.99 a month it is great not to mention the free trial and the free phone stand that u get with it. What I love is that they are still improving so much

I see here lots of bad reviews about the tech that doesn’t work. I wish people will give it another try before writing a negative review.
It didn’t work for me at start as well. I reached out to their customer support which shared a link to their support video how to troubleshoot and then it works like a magic. Amazing tech lots of free stuff to try. I have just subscribed.

Cupixel is completely amazing.

It’s so ALIVE with endless experiences that are from the past, up to the minute current, as well as weekly LIVE sessions! 😳

As someone that does NOT create art on the regular AND who also deals w working/living alone - is that these experiences literally create a sense of connection & feel like visit.

W an artist. Who you learn from. Who makes creating your own masterpiece possible.

I also noticed how calming the experience was, which I didn’t expect @ all.

What was also enlivening was getting connected to my own inspiration to create something particular AS WELL as feeling EXCITED about my sudden newfound ability to actually create something recognizable & beautiful.

I think Cupixel is incredible.

I think it not only makes artwork accessible for the non artist, but it also offers a reliable space & experience to connect with oneself & discover more on the way.

Super cool.

Thank you for making this!! ♥️

We’re an art gallery and art teaching studio. We are so excited to have discovered this app and explore it as a way of introducing beginners and aspiring artists to fine art concepts and techniques they might otherwise be afraid to try. There are easy, standardized exercises but there are so many ways to think outside the this app box and expand beyond just tracing and coloring within the lines. People aren’t quite sure what to make of it at first but once they try it they’re amazed. We love it!

by Tchan08

Cupixel itself is great, very well made and does exactly what it claims. As someone who has been struggling with some aspects of art Cupixel is like having a teacher in your pocket, I am really enjoying using it. The customer service is outstanding, I contacted them with a question I had about the shipping process of the stand and they went above and beyond to make sure I got what I needed. Thank you Elad.

Every artist from beginner to advanced- Stop what your doing and download this amazing app right now! I absolutely love this app! It allows me to create art in a different light than I am used to and the concept of it all is so awesome! I honestly never knew how much I needed Cupixel. I really can't wait to see how creative I can get now. Thanks so much this app!

by Ronzlk

I haven’t really sketched since I was a kid (a long time ago :) , a friend recommended this app to me and I was blown away by how easy I got started and the sense of accomplishment after I finished my first sketch 10 min later. The artist/coach was great at giving me cues on what to do and it felt like she was anticipating my next move. Unbelievable !
Highly recommend to anyone looking to express themselves and take your mind off of the day to day for a few minutes. I’ll defiantly sketch more.

I downloaded Cupixel to draw a portrait of the kids for my wife. I should say, I have almost no experience drawing or painting. The AR tool and photo conversion gave me exactly what I needed. The videos of artists helping me along the way were very helpful. I was able to do several drawing that looked amazing. She didn’t believe I drew it. I have since given a subscription as a gift to my teen nephew, who loves it. Great app!

by SarahFaithNicole

I absolutely love Cupixel. It makes it so easy to just trace one of you favorite photos and then you can do whatever you want with it afterwards use color whatever paint it but it gives you a super easy way to get your picture of choice down perfectly on whatever material you want. You can size it and everything to whatever size you want, and whatever shading you want, add your choice of thin lining or thick lining to it. I honestly love Cupixel. I wish I had thought of it first(lol) it’s genius. I’m about to get the stand and I’m excited to tell everyone about that as well.❤️❤️❤️✍️🎨👩🏽‍🎨🖼️🖌️

This application is a hidden gem, and has become our favorite family time activity. We can’t get enough of this app’s augmented drawing. The new greeting card feature is insane, and is the perfect personal touch that takes minutes but looks like you’ve invested hours!

Super easy to get started and minutes to results! Keep crushing it!

by CarryJohns

My mom bought this box on HSN and i didn’t know what the expect.
Cupixel has a very nice experience feed you can choose from. You can basically paint anything you want. I did a photo of my dog. The coolest part is the augmented reality. painting while looking through the screen. INSANE.
The end result is a 7” by 7” frameD artwork.

I have had an iPhone in my hand since the year they were invented and I can say as a fact that this app is the most innovative art app I have ever had the joy of interacting with!!! I am SO excited to watch myself improve, the more that I use it. I am excited to be on my phone again!!!

by Jkayr

Cupixel is amazing and so much fun! I Love this app app and products. A very rewarding experience. Really sparks your creativity and the staff at this app are eager to help with any questions you may have. You can create paintings from their vast collection of images or work from your own photos. Would encourage you to check out their amazing website!
