I’ve only played around a bit and I’m loving it so far, I just wish imports could overlap the boundaries same way as the drawings. I’m having to do a number of extra steps to align if I want any overlap with drawings from other apps or to trace pictures because they auto crop. Could also be solved with other tile types and shapes.

Drawing feels fairly natural on here, but sorely missing some of the brushes from our favorite drawing app. There are several similarities in set up and have some shared hot keys, which is convenient, but a few things like color adjustments are pretty disappointing. Even adjusting the threshold to the max, it still misses small details. Being able to alpha lock and fill the layer would be a game changer.I saw in some of the review responses that they’re working on a solution, but the seamless feature is only functional when live drawing. When moving the layer or motif past the tile border, it’ll crop it off (assuming it gets "hidden" under the joining tile). Occasionally laggy. I will say that it’s pretty neat seeing the seamless pattern take shape as you draw and design.

This app has potential to be great, but needs to be updated with some fixes. When moving items drawn inside the bounding box, and wanting to move them, it is maddening that the pixels disappear if you cross the bounding box. Part of what is so wonderful is you can see the pattern coming to life as you create, but in trying to improve composition- this disturbs workflow.It glitched and closes without warning - which caused something to be erased. When I restarted my iPad, I had a moment of panic because the designs weren’t appearing automatically. It took over a minute for them to appear. I haven’t purchased the paid version yet, which seems like it had a lot of potential with the different layouts of designs because I’m still trying to decide if it’s worth it when I lose the pixels like I mentioned above.
