Ratings and Reviews
Fantastic App
I absolutely love this app. It's one of my favourite art based applications. Weather you're naturally creative or not, it's easy to make very beautiful designs.
I bought the paid version within a day of downloading the free version, and was very happy with the premium features.
The one thing I would love to see in an update, is a confirmation pop up when the delete button is pushed, as it is very easy to mistakenly delete a project by mistake, and that can be very frustrating. But over all, great, easy to use app.
I’d give 2.5 stars. Fun app, great potential but UI is terrible.
You can create beautiful mandalas in the app but it is frustrating how awkward it is to do simple things like clear the canvas and zoom in and out. It keeps zooming in and out at random and then gets stuck in the position. Color changes are another issue with it not changing to one color I am trying to select.
Fun but perhaps Procreate with the assisted drawing symmetry tool would be more useful.
Such a huge potential...
But, the user interface need a lot of work. It's very very confusing. It's shame because you can create some amazing things with this app, but to go through different steps and settings, is a bit of pain... I'd love to give it 5* and I hope I will. When the UI is better.
Developer Response ,
Hi Martynet,
I would be very much interested in you UI considerations. In iOrnament there is a sensible balance between UI simplicity and possibilities of features. Can you contact me directly through he Science-To-Touch.com website. Would be great to have you as a beta tester for the next version.
All the best
