  • Overall good

    This is a great app but would benefit from settlement tiles and canyon tiles.
  • Just ok

    Very barebones. No way to change colors for solid swaths of land, no markers for cities or terrain (swamps, desert, jungle, etc.) and the map tends to jump around while I’m painting ocean tiles. But a great way to make a barebones environment to convey where your adventures are and where they can go.

    I would like to see more options for color (pallette selection for the Blue tile, maybe?) perhaps that can be more beneficial to creating more delineated areas of influence or landmass.

  • The screen glitches out for me all the and it's to simple

  • Pretty good

    Pros: aww yeah maps. Tiles are distinctly different colors and easily distinguishable icons. Can change maps dimensions and tile alignment. Very solid.

    Cons: cannot get the map centered or to scroll. Would also like a tile or two to denote settlements.

    Overall good for what it’s designed for, wish some extra notes on the side.

  • You get what you pay for.

    This is not a bad app. It’s simple and easy to use. My main problem is that I can’t get the hex map in the place I want it. Every time I try to move it to the middle of my screen it jumps to a corner then when I try to make the hexes fit the screen it zooms in too far...
    My other complaint/feedback for the devs is that there is not enough options for filling hexes. I’d like some symbols that can be put into hexes to represent towns, castles, dungeons, caves ect...
    overall I can’t be too mad at a free product. See if you can use it for your world building. If you don’t like it and have access to a PC, try hexographer.

  • Love it!!

    I love it man keep up the good work!
  • Great concept

    So I was excited to try and make a conceptual map for a fantasy world but upon opening the app it’s really hard to use. Simple but getting map centered or at least at a workable scale was difficult
  • Simple But Free

    This app is a little short on features, but hey, it’s free, and that’s more than can be said for most of the other map-making apps. Even so, I find that most of what it lacks, such as being able to place settlements and add text, can be made up for with the markup features in the Photos app. I would love to see it be developed more, especially if more types of terrain are added, but I find that it does a good job as-is.

  • Great but too simple

    Very useful and exactly what I was looking for. Very shallow though, I wish you could add a custom hex that just has a custom color for specific instances like swamp, jungle, hill, ice etc. Also it would be nice to be able to place and name a city. Please work on this project. It will be worth the work.

  • Fun

    It’s a decent app. Nothing extraordinary, but competent, easy-to-use, and free. No reason why you shouldn’t pick it up.
