Ratings and Reviews
Love the App but Couple Issues
I want to start by saying I LOVE this app. By far it’s my favorite for use on my iPad Pro. It’s completely worth purchasing Pro for this considering it. That said, one of the pattern types, when exporting tiled, is not working (at least on the iPad). It puts a huge gap in the pattern and squishes it when you try to export a tiled version. Other than that one thing though, everything works beautifully. In case the developers want some ideas for future releases and updates: I’d LOVE to see more layers and a copy and paste type feature as well as something like lazy mouse technology that will better smooth out your strokes based on a predefined setting. As well as the ability to save your own brush/settings presets. I’d be happy to pay extra for those upgrades. With or without them though..this is an awesome and addictive (and really useful) application for anyone who loves to doodle or do zen tangles , is into professional pattern creation, or those who are graphic artists (2D or 3D) Many thanks to the developers for making an amazing and fun application!
Developer Response ,
Hi Ann. thanks a lot for you kind and thoughtful review. In case you want to discuss some of your suggestions in more detail, feel free to contact me through the science-to-touch.com website. Some of your suggestions are already in the pipeline. Have fun doodling.
Addicted to this app!
I've been playing with this app as much as I can, it's amazing and seems to have unlocked my artist's block as well to get me drawing again because of how much easier this makes it to come up with intricate abstract designs. I'm honestly blown away and fascinated by the endless possibilities! The other mandala apps I've tried just can't compete.
My only complaint is that it doesn't allow importing of our own images. I would gladly pay for an additional upgrade to allow for that, so I can incorporate existing designs with new line work or even on their own just to utilize the symmetry and pattern tools.
The extension, iOrnament Crafter, does allow imports but frustratingly we can't enlarge designs or zoom in on them and seem to be stuck with just animated fractals which is really cool, don't get me wrong - but I just want the ability to get a static image from it with enlargement possible.
Fix this dilemma in one of the apps and they're PERFECTION!
it’s so amazing!!
I’ve had this app for only one day and I already love it!!! before I got this app I was hesitant because from the pictures of the app it looked kinda hard to do. but that was just because they were doing more harder designs. I got the app, went into it, and it’s extremely simple! just draw whatever you want on the main drawing thingy and it will copy everywhere else! I already drew a unicorn one! I love ittttt!! I always do this app when im bored! I love using the glow pen too because it’s very cool and whenever you have the glow pen equipped and you get a color and start drawing with it, it shows up like bright and glowy and beautiful! anyways im only 9 and im a beginner, but probably even 5 year olds would understand and enjoy this app too! anyways thank you iornament!! I LOVE THIS APPPPPP!!!
