  • NO CENTERING when text is selected?????!!!!

    OMG! I’m TRYING to design a project & the OCD is making me crazy because I can’t get the letters centered in their boxes or on the grid itself! It seems obvious that is what should happen when text is selected. Needless to say the app is worthless to me without that, I can’t use it if the letters are off by SO much. Would rate zero stars if I could.

    Thank you for sharing how you are using the app. You are right, the annotation feature to add text and lines in Paint are not as powerful as in a full-featured graphics application. The recent 1.21.0 release adds a snap-to-grid feature. Now you can position text on a grid by either centering it or placing it on an edge. If you need to do more, a design or paint page can be exported as a PDF or PNG to your favorite graphics application.
  • Good App! HAS Erase Feature

    ******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

  • Perfect Picture Positioning

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

    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.”

    Thank you for your updated review. A release or two back improved iPencil support on the iPad Pro. The latest release 1.21.0 focused on making the app easier to use. The updated interface should make it easier to find features like margin settings.
  • Ehhh

    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

    Thank you for your comment. The latest release 1.21.0 focused on making the app easier to use. It should make it easier to find features like adding diagonals to a grid (to create half-squares and quarter-squares). We also added video tutorials, including one on Advanced Painting. The Long-press Paint feature could make coloring half-square triangles less frustrating.
  • Works, but very non-intuitive to use

    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.

    Thank you for your updated review. The latest release 1.21.0 focused on making the app easier to use. One big change permanently fixed the side tool bar to the right. Also, a few functions were moved to the tool bar so they are no longer nested and some functions were simplified (such as how numbers are entered by typing or incrementing.)
  • Horrible

    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
  • GridMaker

    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.

  • Waste of money

    Can't use graph paper on screen. Only printable

    Developer Response

    Thanks to creative users such as knitters, crocheters, and wood workers who have shared how they are using the app to create designs. With new annotation capabilities in version 1.14.0, they can use the app to mark and update their progress in building their creations.
  • Falls short of useful

    This app, and its sister app, QuiltPaper, would be useful if there was a pen/draw function allowing you to create designs on grids. You can't even draw a simple line. It's a pretty unhelpful app.

    Developer Response

    Version 1.14.0, now adds the capability to annotate the coloring pages with both text and lines. So, besides coloring in a pattern on your grid, one can add notes and lines (freehand or straight) to highlight things. You can edit note text, color, font size and placement. One can edit line color, line width and placement.
