Neat results; but, UI needs a lot of work.
10 February 2026:
I picked up this app based on my curiosity and previous work with Tangled. Chaos Lens has a lot of creative utility and produces interesting images; however, the entire UI is not intuitive despite the built in tutorial. There is much that can be done; but, no info on how to do things so the user is left fumbling through the app as an exploration (in frustration, sometimes).
The worst part is trying to find out how to import images from your albums. Lens picker is OK; but, changing the color pallet and selecting the results is far from easy, and creating a lens is just not easy as it should be.
I won’t give up on Chaos Lens; but instead, will wait and watch for improvements that make it more of an intuitive image manipulation app.

Have never figured this out
Totally unusable, can’t figure out how best to make it work
Great app
I really like what you’ve done,a lot of fun with this app. One feature I wuold personally like to see is having the rotation shown as as a percentage bar with a slider so we can precisely spin the drawing and be able to go back to any previous amount of rotation. Would also be nice to be able to choose an aspect ratio for the base drawing.
