I’ve been using this for a couple years now and every time I think “I wish I could...” that feature has been included in a new update. So many possibilities, I’m still just scratching the surface.

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!
Amazing
rzzzzzz......!

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

Love this app. Wish it came with instructions! Be careful, when you save images to Apple Photos, it causes iPhoto to crash. Took weeks of help from Apple to fix Photos.
Wow!
