August 8, 2011 - OmniSketch listed by PC Magazine as one of The 100 Best iPad Apps.
OmniSketch is listed in the iTunes Essential Paint & Drawing Apps section.
OmniSketch is a procedural drawing tool that allows you to create stunning sketches with very little effort. A procedural brush is a brush that uses a mathematical algorithm to draw patterns. These patterns can interact with lines that have already been drawn to produce amazing effects. The speed at which you draw will affect the look of the brush you are using. The brush algorithm can also be adjusted to produce different effects.
PadGadget.com says:
Now you might be reading this thinking, “There are already a large number of really good painting and drawing tools so what does OmniSketch bring to the game?” Instead of standard brushes and pencils, OmniSketch’s brushes use mathematical algorithms to draw patterns which interact with previously drawn lines to produce a cool sketch with detailed effects.
and:
One of the coolest OmniSketch features is its mirrored drawing mode. You can opt to have your strokes mirrored across your iPad’s screen (top and bottom, left and right or both options) to produce really stunning designs.

OmniSketch - a Fantastic App will no longer Open - or Save
OmniSketch - a Fantastic App I use constantly will no longer either Open - or Save on 08-15-23 Developer needs to update it & Hopefully with some new Tricks - after all it’s been 7 years since the current version.
Killer bug
I bought this because of the advertised procedural drawing brush, as created years ago by Mr Doob. Not only is the implementation of the brush poor, if one changes the width of the brush in settings, it loses its attributes and only draws in polygons. Two stars for effort but cannot reccomend.
Worked on 11, choppy on 12
I love this app. It worked so beautifully on iPadOS 11, but now on 12 it’s choppy and basically unusable. Pretty disappointing because I used to use it a lot. Will change rating if there’s an update that fixes the issue.
Totally Ingenious
Unlimited creative potential to go where art has never gone before. Could use a slight updating...
Most unique collection of procedural brushes
OmniSketch has been on my assorted iDevices for years, and it runs just fine in iOS 10. It has quite an array of interesting effects brushes, especially if you add the geometry set.
While it's useful as is, I'd love to see at least an image layer added so that I could fit use pre-existing art or photos as a reference. As other reviewers have noted it would also be helpful to have better color controls.
Not accurate
Kaleidoscope isn't true to kaleidoscope, only a four-way split. Disappointing!
Please update for ipad3
This WAS a good app on the iPad 2. Now it is jerky, strange, unpredictable, delayed, and frustrating on my new iPad 3.
Please make white & black & grays come back, thanks
Sigh...
Was great, but several bugs
I love this app. It used to work flawlessly, but it doesn't seem to work well on my 6+. Weird graphic glitches, app format is all wonky, renders blurry in patches on export, if you re-edit a pic, the old part of the pic is all blurry. Bummer to see it fall victim to all these glitches.
My favorite sketching app is fixed!
Unique procedural brushes and full color controls. It's a great sketching and digital painting tool. Glad it's back in my toolbox!
