So much potential
I found that you can do some cool things with this app, when I am not getting completely frustrated with certain basic functions and issues that should never arise.
The biggest problem is my menu completely disappears with no way of retrieving it if I move my iPad in a way that triggers it to reorient itself. Then I can’t undo anything I draw or accidentally put on my project while I’m fighting with it to give me back my menu. I wrote the developer about this and have not gotten a response back from them.
I would have bought their other app for drawing Platonic solids, but the stress of using this app is too much and I wouldn’t give them anymore money.
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!!!
Wow
You can make a masterpiece in seconds with your eyes closed with this app. Very good highly recommend.
The only best thing
I’m so happy that they made this app! It is so cool
I LOVE THE GAME SO MUCH 🤗👋
NO PROBLEMS AT ALL NO ADDS please get this app🔜 .
Best in its class… Quasicrystals?aperiodicy?
Addendum: yeah, more wishes,… Reptiles? Can be done ?like using the sphinx with an adjustable border. That would be cool.
Wishlist: Layers that you can turn on and off The ability to set the background color to white or another color or a photo from the camera roll perhaps this is available and I haven’t found it?? Tips mentions a manual control if you don’t have a stylus where the heck is it?? A paint bucket fill tool sure would be nice that would also be tuned to the icons that let you draw in multiple color space Gradients would be nice either with a fill tool or the brushstrokes...oops, I guess you can do gradients with the brush tool tool but alas I haven’t figured out how to do it with a fill tool Export as background transparent would be nice.. or foreground transplant ha ha Also more sophisticated pallets for the tillable coloring tools !!!When I scribble with the stylus very fast I get nice effects but I would like to do this in a slow manner with some sort of brush smoothing function… I E like a slow-moving missile that tracks your cursor or similar to dragging a rope in the sand There’s nothing worse for me than having awkward scribbling that seems disjointed… I think my slow smoothing idea would be very very popular and would be worth another dollar or two! One last thing the tips or manual don’t seem to go into the functions where are you can draw straight lines and move things around that way- I haven’t figured it out yet??? ..... Still the program is fantastic as I’ve been a big fan of MC Escher for a very long time and would like to continue in his vein... For this program only only and maybe one or two others I would actually tip the programmer to continue his great and valuable work.... More great ideas… Make it a subgroup of procreate and then you can use all the brushes in procreate and also converted into a vector program I would pay 20 bucks for a vector version of this! Thanks everyone for your time and consideration This might be a difficult suggestion to implement but it sure would be neat to play with quasicrystals or aperiodic tilings such as Roger Penrose has come up with...As a further helpful suggestion for other users I like to combine this app with an app called Kaleidomatic if I remember right I Kaleidomatic once you purchase provides many different tiling abilities also
I love this app, but have one issue
Will someone please tell me how to disable the “line adjusting” feature that pops up nearly every time I draw a line? It’s infuriating!
I
I love it
Fascinating drawing app
I’ve just touched the surface of learning what this app can do and every drawing I do is more beautiful than the next. Top notch in all ways.
Fabulous
Anything l do is a learning experience and full of surprises. I’m not very technical so it’s a slow but enjoyable process. 🐞
