Atlas Wallpaper 4+

Developer - read this review :)

I’m using this in a way you likely never anticipated. My son is deaf, and has other disabilities. But, he loves maps. He draws maps like the ones this app provides. When I got the app, I intended to make him a wallpaper. But, what I’ve been able to do is send him the images of maps the app produces. He has been able to correctly guess, within seconds, 15 places around the world. It is so awesome to be able to more quantify this gift he has. Thank you!

This is such a beautiful story I don't know how to respond. Thank you for using Atlas and for posting you and your son's story. I'm very touched that Atlas has been able to quantify his gift. All the best, Patrick :)

Hoodwinked

Nothing worse than getting all excited about an app. just to find out that someone was just looking to make quick buck. I happily paid the $1.99 as any developer deserves his or her own labor. I was excited to use my own palette of colors which the app states is possible. However, after selecting these colors and saved to its own title (I.e., “parks”), it fails to show up on the default list of options.

WORSE (and the REAL REASON FOR THIS REVIEW): when attempting to contacting the developer for NO SUPPORT. I hit the support button=>was redirected to the website page=>was redirected to the App Store=>and round and round.

SAD!!! When new excitement about something that could be potentially fun is spoiled by these very simple ADVERTISED CLAIMS THAT DON’T EVEN EXIST before even getting started. Keep the 2 bucks. I hope it buys you a little Integrity Patrick Murray.

Hi! I'm sorry to hear that there was trouble adding your custom style to the style picker. That's not good at all. I'd also like to extend my deepest apologies for not having an email on the marketing page, that was a massive oversight and has been rectified now. If you could please email me at atlas@patmurray.co I will try to resolve this bug. Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience

Missing key features

I love the idea of this app, however there are a couple things missing. Firstly, you are unable to change the orientation of the map, north will always be up. This is sad and frustrating if you are trying to make a map of somewhere like Montréal where geographic north and “implied” north are very different(look it up). Secondly, I would love to be able to edit the colours of the transit option, but it is stuck on just one colour setting and you can’t create your own theme that shows transit. If these two items where addressed, or it was made clearer to me how to enable these functions, I would gladly give 5 stars.
