  • Unreliable

    I want to rate this app a star higher because it is handy to have some patterns on phone. I like the step by step hand drawn illustrations .
    However the app keeps crashing .I have to delete app then download again. After a few times of doing this …it gets annoying .

    I have an Iphone 14 ver. 17.3.1

  • Feels like a scam

    You pay 2.99$ and mostly see a page of zentangle packs you don’t own.
    ***You have to search (with the filter) to see which one you own~ and despite the developers saying they tried to make it clear, it isn’t clear at all
  • Developer in trouble?

    Cannot open the app or the packs (bought them all!) on my iPad Pro.
    Refund was requested, and received.
  • Not what I thought

    Turns out you’re paying for a collection of designs with the steps shown so you can recreate them in paper…but you can’t draw in the app…and the app displays 5 packs of designs all mixed together and your $2.99 only unlocks 1 of the packs so you have to figure out which ones are available to you. Some suggestions to the developers: make it clear what you’re selling by explaining that the tutorials only show how the design was created but do not allow practice or drawing in the app and only display the designs that the purchase price covers, with the extra packs elsewhere so it doesn’t feel so disappointing to open the app for the first time and see all the things that aren’t included. I understand wanting to be paid fairly for your work—it’s more about the way it’s presented that made me feel like I didn’t get much for $2.99. I think I’ll enjoy learning and using the designs, but my initial impression, since there’s no free trial or other way to see what I’d be getting, was confusion and disappointment and that’s just not a pleasant way to start out.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for the feedback. We tried to make it clear in the description that extra packs are available to purchase and that 100 patterns are included with the base price. The "filter" option can show or hide the packs that you do/do not own. I understand that coming to the app as a new user today it looks like you're being blocked from accessing a lot of content that already exists. These packs were added gradually as the artist created more patterns, over a number of years following the app's launch. I will think about how we can make this clearer to new customers. I hope you still enjoy doodling with these patterns!
  • Artist

    I wish I could add a picture to this. I use this app for inspiration for my own patterns 💛💛💛
  • $…$…$

    I love the app itself. The variety is wonderful, the tutorials make trying something new easy. What I’m not so fond of is paying for an app and only getting access to 20% of the content without paying more. Seems like a somewhat deceptive way of doing things… that being said, I’m am enjoying the heck out of the original pack and I even let myself buy another pack because I was having so much fun. I just wish that the developers were more obvious about the way they charge.

  • Love it

    A great app that is helpful with drawings
  • Great App!

    I’m glad I bought this app! If you you want to enjoy all of the content, the true price is about $11, I think. But they give you step-by-step instructions for some awesome designs! The only thing I would change is the glitchiness of scrolling through the designs. It’s a little annoying. And who knows, maybe it’s just my phone?

  • You have to pay for almost all the patterns!

    Just go online or get tangle patterns app! Better than paying for each design on this app!

    Developer Response

    The hand-drawn content in this app is not available for free. We're always sad to hear when people think our work isn't worth a couple of dollars.
  • Lots To Do

    I like this app. Select the pattern you like and see the easy to follow step-out.
