Overcharged

I purchased this app for the $2.99 and now I’m showing an additional charge with the same ID for $122. I need someone to get in touch with me so that I can get my money back.

Delight for Zentanglers!

I have been using this app for years, and bought all the ad on packs. Without this app, I tend to doodle just a few patterns repeatedly. This gives me a huge variety to choose from. Some are not in styles that are familiar to me and that challenges meet a stretch my wings. All told this is one of the best apps I’ve ever spent money on, and each of the add-on packs is worth it.

App crashes

After paying for the new pack, I suddenly can’t use the app.

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.

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!

Enttäuscht

Ich bin leider enttäuscht.
Erstmal ist die grafik schlecht, also die Auflösung ist Mist, es sieht körnig aus.
Dann erhält man beim Kauf nur den ersten Satz der Vorlagen, für die später veröffentlichten Book 1-4 muss man jeweils (!) nochmal ca 3€ zahlen. Somit ist die App am Ende unfassbar teuer. Zumal die enthaltenen patterns absolut Standard sind und genauso gut über Pinterest oder Google Bilder gefunden werden können. Ich hatte etwas ausgefalleneres erwartet...

Lots To Do

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

Directions?

I filtered to ORIGINAL thinking I would see the patterns that I just bought. Other patterns were still displayed. I can't find the original 100. How do you get step by step directions for each pattern? OR how do you get reimbursed. I did look under the I for information. Not much help.

Love this & Doodling Together

One person said the step by step video can't be paused. Incorrect! Every tangle can be viewed step by step! Just tap on the other arrow or swipe the picture! This app & Doodling Together is great fun & relaxing. My son and I both enjoy it! In app purchases are worth it, too! They just get added right to the collection. And the author, Katherine Newman is quick to reply if you ask for help! Enjoy Tangling!

Redundant

This app is basically a repeat of the other doodle app and I didn't realize that until after I'd paid for both.
I like the fact that I can add to the library.
It would be even better, if there were future updates that also add to the library, since there are infinite patterns to be collected. A static number of 100, in comparison, hardly whets the appetite. 😋💦

Great for tangling!

Lots of different patterns to choose from and still more in apps to load. Worth it

Zentangle it up!!

Great app and I love all the patterns! I even bought the extras that are available as in-app purchase! Keep the updates coming! I love it!!!

Disappointed and feel ripped off

Having paid over £2 for this app and believing that I was buying the whole library of designs mentioned in the app write-up, I am angry and disappointed to find that nearly every design I click on asks me to buy another pack for the instructions!!!! Money back please.
