Reviews

Odd numbers
ChyeChey

Great app but I wish you could divide the grid with odd numbers. I want to make knitting patterns with 5 stitches across and 7 rows up but it only lets me divide with even numbers


Perfect for me

This is just what I was looking for - a way to make custom graph paper, some that's not available off the shelf. If you're wanting more than that, yes, you'll be disappointed.


Can’t draw on grid lines
bjjjcr

I use grid paper for sketching plans for woodworking, but was disappointed that this only allows you to shade in each square, and not draw lines along the grid lines. You can’t even draw a line across but you have to tap each square individually. For me, it’s a total waste.

I finally found the graph apps I was searching for. I am a lacemaker and doing design work by hand. Designs I am working on require special dot sizes, inches or mm. I found the sizes were preset on dot graphs. I wrote to a developer and suggested to be more flexible with sizes. In one week later, he made it happen. Now I can create any sizes on dot graphs. I never expected to hear from the developer. How wonderful! I tried this app and found to be very user friendly, nothing really complicated. The developer appreciates suggestions to improve.


Horrible
beccaruth81

Not easy to use. I wanted to be able to plot coordinates for 2D arrays and all I can figure out is how to tap a box


Works, but very non-intuitive to use
Rec1pr0cal$

After purchasing this app, my initial review was a firm one star! After playing with the app, I found that it is actually quite useful as an engineering tool. Usage is highly non-intuitive however. You have to do a lot of icon touching to find and open windows that allow you to adjust line spacing etc. again, non-intuitive. But hey, buy it for a buck and try it. With patience, you will likely find that it does what you want.


Ehhh
Cat lady0

It’s ok for general graph paper and I have designed some simple things with it BUT not being able to easily make and then color half square triangles is a real NEGATIVE for me. Improve this one feature and it would be 4 stars


Good item. Hopefully you guys keep working to make it better.
Sherap6

Good item. Hopefully you guys keep working to make it better. I am having hard time adding left margin, right margin, top margin, and and extra customizable margins. I don’t see these features. And you guys need to optimize these applications to for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd generation. I am currently using this device. Please add these stuffs. If you add these all features that I mentioned above I am definitely going to purchase other paper types. Thank you. And truly sorry for the previous “rude review.”


Perfect Picture Positioning
Adventuresinparadise

We needed a way to project grids on the walls of our new home to assist with placement of family pictures and artwork. GridMaker was the perfect solution. Saving grids with transparent backgrounds allowed us to project grids on our 11 ft walls for precise spacing. We created a simple grid on an iPad, connected to an inexpensive micro projector and lit our walls with bright white grids.


Good App! HAS Erase Feature
ReaganMaSter272

******UPDATE I FOUND IT ? The app is excellent for making graphs, very well priced, my only issue is needing to restart whenever i draw a line i didnt intend to. There are many options to erase, but none of them seem to work. Id give it a 3.5/5 if i could, once this bug is fixed itll be a 5 star! Thanks for making this app
