User Reviews for iOrnament: draw mandala & art

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!

Geometric Art on Steroids!

If you are one of those people who love the mandala drawings on Monument Valley 2, imagine making those mandalas with colors and different widths of line. This is an amazing Ap- my favorite drawing Ap ever! The interface is very intuitive- but you can always read through the extensive Tip menu to understand the controls. It's fascinating to create one of the tile images and then see it morph into a different tile arrangement with the animation selection. Very meditative and beautiful. The Math portion with animations is fantastic. Totally worth the price and I am definitely going with the Pro add-on, now that I understand how the basic Ap function. Can't recommend this Ap highly enough for anyone who enjoys geometric art!

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!

Favorite app

IOrnament is my favorite app. It’s relaxing, creative, and engages my creative side of my brain. It also engages my logical, ordered side of my brain. It’s not just right sided or left sided. It causes my whole brain to interact. I like the science behind it, but I also like the creativity it creates. I had an issue with my app, and seriously not thinking I texted Dr. Jürgen Richter-Gebert thinking I’d hear from the app developer at some point. He contacted me that same hour. Thing is it was 3:50am his time. He was super supportive, I felt that he should have waited until the next day or so. He supports his app. He fixed my issues with the app. I can’t say enough how great my experience has been.

Love it, despite a few flaws.

I’ve had this app for quite a while now and have no regrets about putting money into it. I love the features like “glowy” lines and embossing. The app would be worth it even without those features, but they add some fun. The developer is great as well (see their responses to other reviews). It’s also really easy to make something cool-looking. Sometimes I let my young niece randomly jab at different colors and do some squiggles, and I think “hm, I might actually save this one and expand on it later”.That kind of brings me to a couple problems, though. One: Saving. Sometimes when I save, the thumbnail doesn’t depict the actual piece. Sometimes it’s just black. Other times it shows the thumbnail of something I saved earlier but trashed to create a new one.My other major gripe is that sometimes it freezes up on major actions. Like if I have to “undo” several times, I have to tap the button slowly or it will freeze up for sometimes up to a couple minutes.I also feel like the settings could be a bit more intuitive and explanatory, but there could just be a learning curve. It’s not terrible to just experiment and figure things out, and a the tips are helpful.A few things that would be nice to have added, but I don’t feel are absolutely necessities: Maybe up to 5 layers, streamlining of strokes, a lasso selection tool so we can move & rotate things. But that could make the app pretty bulky, I dunno.

Lacking in so many areas

Legit obsessed with this app but wish there was changes to how one is supposed to navigate through it. I honestly don’t understand why there isn’t a button that allows you to go to your own gallery without having to go through the extra step of saving your art project multiple times.. the tutorial has many spelling errors (I’m not a spelling and punctuation expert but come on now how did they get missed?) and the save option shouldn’t be so close to the trash option. There has been plenty of occasions were I almost deleted time consuming projects. One last wishlist for this app would be for automatic in-app recording this is another thing that irritates me for the lack of. Hopefully these reviews actually get looked at and considered because this app is well worth the price.

I love this app! I use it daily, better than adult coloring book. I use this and Fax HD all the time. Only thing they need is instructions on how to use parameter settings, still don't understand that. UPDATE: Have had this app for over a year and I still love it! The developer is very helpful if you have any problems, and he will help you, witch is very unusual for most app people. Also with the new updates and if you have the Pro version its really a great app for creativity and stress relief. I have made myself my own background wallpaper with this app and you can do all sorts of things with it.

Please fix the app for the 11 inch screens

To begin with I LOVE this app. That said I wanted you guys to know about the screen issue. I have the new 11 inch iPad and the save and load buttons are extremely difficult to access as they are below the page. If you not careful u pull up your menu bar. I decided NOT to keep my low star rating because as I said I love this app! I recently acquired some artistic abilities that I have no idea where they came from, and YOUR App is a major tool on my toolbox. I make my mandalas and publish them on an adult app art site. I ALWAYS give credit to your app everytime I use it to create my work. Thank you for a fantastic app! Leah

An iPad must have

Wether you're an artist or not, iOrnament is must have app. I don't get math but I do love making patterns, Mandelas and designs. It's easy to change colors, pens and design options. It's easy to share via camera roll, email and social media, even mash with other apps with the new copy and paste option. Save up to 500 pieces in the storage gallery. And most important, making these is a most relaxing way to spend your time. Some people like coloring books. I LOVE iOrnament. It's even better if you have an iPad Pro and Pencil. And now enhancing and animating the great designs with iO Crafter extends the fun, be sure to get the sister app, explore the fun of math and discover your inner artist.

Great app, but for the BUG

I love creating art with this app. It’s beautiful what you can accomplish with few simple strokes. And “happy accidents” actually make you smile. I have realized that this can be my stress Buster at times. However, I do want to mention this bug which makes it horribly frustrating to work with. If you undo multiple times, intermittently, there strokes are not undone in order (reverse order), and on top of that, you can’t redo in this case either!!So let’s say I’m at a stage where I recently drew stroke a, b, c, d. Now, I realized I’m not happy with c, and I’m ready to let go of d as well. I undo two times. But, d and b are gone! Now, even if redo, I can’t get b back! Pesky c will go away if I undo one more time, but in general, I have to let go of more strokes at this stage and start over. 😖That is just an example. Sometimes I lose a stroke which was further down in the ‘stack’. If the LIFO* for the undo stack is rectified, I’ll feel blessed! Please, please fix this 🥺*Last in first out
