### 5/5 — This is cool

*2024-12-18*

Fun app to doodle with.  Wish I could import images to embed but drawing simple shapes for now is entertaining.

### 3/5 — Still can’t input background imagery on an iPad Pro

*2024-07-16*

Nice program I just wish I could use my own tesselations as background… SIGH… It causes the app close- when I hit the camera icon for background pattern… and it would be nice if I could use my own depth map photos from the LiDAR capabilities?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-06-09*

Ya, I don’t know what else to say except importing pictures to create a 3d image doesn’t create any image.

### 2/5 — Can’t do much

*2024-01-14*

Trying to clear my image over and over, I click clear, and the image still sits there. Won’t let me try anything new.  I close the app, re-open and my image is still sitting there! Had to delete

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2023-09-11*

It really works! Use an ipad if you want detail!

### 3/5 — I like it but…

*2020-11-17, version 2.2*

I like it but… It will no longer let me input my own patterns… When I click on the camera button the screen disappears??? iPad Pro older

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2019-04-16*

All of your apps are so cool! I saw a comment on an old forum talking about this app and I downloaded it along with a few other of your games and am so impressed! Definitely gonna spread the word!

### 4/5 — Does what it says

*2015-06-11*

The backgrounds are a little painful, but it's got a nice brush and it's very responsive. As a developer interested in making a similar app, this sets the bar non-trivially. :) Will be recommending it.
