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.

Response from developer

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.

Can’t draw on grid lines

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.

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.

Garbage, don’t buy.

All you get is to print graph paper. You have to keep paying for every step. Filling squares - pay again. Biggest ripoff, doesn’t even deserve 1 star.

Perfect

For free, I’m able to print all the basic graph paper I want for only the cost of printer paper and ink. For just $1, get the hexagon pack, and then you can make isometric too. Plenty of options to make exactly the way you want. I think it’s another $1 to remove the logo, which is worth it, but if you’re stingy, it’s non intrusive. Absolutely the best couple dollars I’ve spent on an app for a long time.

Just go buy a pad of graph paper

One cannot draw anything on the graph paper. There is no edit / draw functionality at all.

-[update new version]
still pretty useless!
Developer(s): please explain a workflow where this tool would be of any use.

Does Exactly What It Says It Does

This app provides exactly what it says it will - the tools to MAKE a custom GRID image to be PRINTED on PAPER for the purpose of expedient sketches.

In simple terms: MAKE a GRID, PRINT it on PAPER, so that you can HAND SKETCH your ideas.

It's unfortunate that this app has as many 1-star ratings as it does - clearly those reviewers didn't read the app's description. I would also venture to guess these same folks haven't hand sketched ideas onto paper enough to understand the benefit of custom graph paper. If they had, the value of this app would have been blatantly obvious.

While the app's look is a little clunky, it provides a good array of customization options and workflow. I find the in-app purchases very sensible and fairly priced.

The only real complaints that I have:
- would like the ability to more easily center the grid on the paper
- would like support for thinner line printing

What's the point?

Why can't I use the paper on screen? What's the point of this? I can buy graph paper!

All you can do is make graph paper

I suppose if you have a good imagination you can imagine using it for drawing something, but otherwise this is the most pointless app that I've ever paid for

How do I even make the graph?

Layout of graph editing is very confusing and doesn't offer proper labeling. I can even seem to number or GRAPH data on this GRAPH MAKING app. Not worth it. My 99 cents is wasted
