This app is a GAME CHANGER!!! I originally uploaded my photo to a random google search site and then realized how difficult the project was going to be. Found out about this app from a google search, and literally went through all the steps and my image is printed and ready to go all within 10 mins of downloading the app. Love that the brand name dots are options, love that you can choose how many colors you want to use, all the details to make the art exactly how you want it (with photo previews) is AMAZING. Seriously developers, well done!! I never leave reviews but I am insanely impressed with how easy and quick this was. I immediately chose the paid version — worth every single penny. THANK YOU for saving me such a big headache and making my project so much easier. People ——— Download. This. App.

Could be perfect except for a few bugs

I would have given the app 5 stars except for it having a major bug that causes old dotterly files to overwrite newer dotterly files. The problem is with the rename file option in the app. This does not actually rename the file it gives the file a nickname that you see in the app as the file name. I'd advise users not to use the rename function because it doesn't work as expected and it's counterintuitive. The 2nd flaw with the app is minor. The ability to choose letters or symbols doesn't allow for individual colors to have a specific letter or symbol on the pattern which causes the pattern to sometimes have microscopic symbols for example A3 instead of allowing a symbol for a single digit like $ or * The other problem with the inability to give a color a specific symbol on the pattern is when the symbol the computer chooses is too similar to another color used or another symbol on the printed pattern. Otherwise the app is perfect. Just remember not to use the rename function! I lost an entire morning - several hours worth of work due to the glitch.

Hi julie585, thanks for your feedback.The rename function simply changes the name of the file within the app. The same name is used when exporting your file.Are you perhaps looking to use the duplicate function? The duplicate function will create a copy of your pattern file that is then saved to the 'My Patterns' screen.Please contact us so that we can discuss this further. Just go to Help > FAQ > Report a Problem in the app.Thank you :)

Good, but Glitchy

Hello, I am a huge fan of Diamond Dotz and I really 💚 your App (because I can make pixel art of Ian Lightfoot and other of my favorite characters/objects by my choice), you don’t need to have a subscription to purchase full content, and it also has no pop-up ads.Unfortunately, this App has several glitches when I work on a project and they are annoying. One is when you are using the Color Picker tool and forget to pick a color, a message pops up and tells you the same thing over and over again. I would rather not have it appear unless if you are in a tutorial (this is only when you start to install this App). Second, if you copy a design into your clipboard and paste it outside of the canvas, it will show the Oops! error message. I wish I could easily drag it onto the canvas rather than continuously tap it to add my pasted design. As a suggestion, I also want a Change Language option (so we can change this and your other apps to foreign languages such as Spanish, French, Russian, Romanian, Norwegian, Japanese, or Korean) because my phone’s language is currently in Korean.

Amazing and easy to use

I normally don’t write reviews but this app is so great I just had to write a review. This app is easy to use and has great options of tools and brands. If your designing your own pattern it gives you editing tools like sharpness ,contrast, but also how many colors you would prefer to use. It will even changed the size if you decided that your project looks better larger. When you have a set of drills you can make an individual palette that you can switch to if needed. It will even let you pick a color from that palette while you are using a mainstream palette. This app is very worth it and it will be easier to make your own diamond painting pattern.
