It’s the only thing missing from the app. Once I can import an image from the photo reel (aside from being a pattern), I’ll be all set ### 4/5 — Amazing but… *2022-06-22, version 2.0* The game is amazing and i Get so confused with optical illosions!but i never see the 3D image i do ### 4/5 — Ham *2021-01-25, version 2.0* nice app I am happy with it no complaints. ### 2/5 — Email disaster *2020-07-22, version 2.0* I spent two hours creating around 30 good images then emailed them all using the Share icon and I got no emails. Next time I will have to screenshot my creations and send them from my reliable photo album sharer. Disappointed in that, but the actual autostereograms, are awesome. ### 4/5 — Stereogram Fun *2018-07-19, version 2.0* I’ve been a huge fan of anything stereogram related for over 20 years. This app is easy to use and is a lot of fun. I wish it had the option to import your own depth maps, and maybe a few more depth map editing tools. The other thing I’d like is the ability to adjust the pixel offset (to increase the apparent 3D depth difference between the depth map shades.) Overall, it’s a great app, and I’ve spent a lot of time making and viewing stereograms without any crashes or lockups. Excellent coding by the developer! ### 2/5 — It's alright *2015-08-19, version 1.2* I only give it two stars because I got this app because it says it's 3D but it's not. You can only make backgrounds so if you wanted to draw 3D this app is not for you, but if you want to design amazing backgrounds you should get this app a go.☺️ ### 4/5 — :):):):):):):):):):):):): *2015-04-21, version 1.2* Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssoooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ### 5/5 — Great *2014-10-16, version 1.2* These things take practice but are great fun when you get used to them. I have been able to see these for a long time but it is easier for some than others. Try it ! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2014-10-16, version 1.2* Best Magic eye app, and I've looked at all of them! Easy to type or customise. It just works. 5* ### 3/5 — ok *2014-02-05, version 1.2* It's ok for 15 minutes entertaining. I can't draw maybe that's why. You can make your own patterns which is good but if you can't draw, it's pretty boring. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2014-01-07, version 1.2* I always look at magic eye things I love them, and to create my own is amazing, amazing app, those saying they can't see it, find out how to see them first ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t let me draw *2024-11-21, version 2.0* Every time I try to draw anything it randomly moves the lines and won’t let me finish an image. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2022-12-24, version 2.0* No designs observed , just a 3D pattern pressent! Wasteful! ### 1/5 — Really bad app, hackware *2019-08-20, version 2.0* Possible hackware do not download! Basically it promotes itself as some kind of Kid Pix for the phone. But all it does when it starts is it shows a magic eye pic with the app’s watermark on it, and it is really hard to get it to close! I had to open Siri to clear the screen. Do not download! ### 1/5 — Liam *2019-03-19, version 2.0* It never gets past the first screen. It force closes the app within 30 seconds of opening. ### 1/5 — Incredibly misleading *2018-10-20, version 2.0* It’s just a still picture and a stupid logo you can’t do anything ### 1/5 — Love the app, but… *2018-08-18, version 2.0* The only thing that’s stopping me from buying the pro version is the fact that the saved images are so low a resolution, it’s not worth it. Most of the Apple camera images and apps output to at least eight megapixels, The output images from this app aren’t even half a megapixel in size. ### 1/5 — dosen't work/horrible *2016-01-05, version 1.2* every time you "make it 3d" it sometimes crashes and when it dosent nothing hapends.And to think someone rated this 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2015-12-01, version 1.2* I only shows you distorted dots! Nothings in 3D! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-04-02, version 1.2* I wanted to use this for my class and everything I drew was not visible ### 1/5 — Crappy app *2013-04-01, version 1.2* This app is sooooo crappy. You could make a really cool pattern but it just ruins it but putting another pattern and making that "3D" ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best stereogram generator on the market *2020-05-11, version 2.0* Hands down best grams. I use this many time a day to make secret messages so the NSA can’t tell what my friends and I do on weekends ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2020-05-11, version 2.0* So good, all the bad reviews are just people who cant do double vision. I bet this was really hard to make. #freemyniggasmelly ### 5/5 — When you know *2017-11-24, version 1.2* When you know how it works it’s great ### 5/5 — WoW WONDERFUL! ❤️ *2016-11-16, version 1.2* L❤️ve this 3D maker! Just did a few for my husband and he was nicely surprised. These work both ways; the picture's can be seen outward 3D when I squint right eyed then inward when I squint left eyed. This is how I get to see 3D but like most people my husband does it cringing his eyes. Never thought it would be possible that I would get to make 3D pictures, so this is Great! We have several 3D artworks we bought in the early 90's and they are fabulous. My brother cannot see 3D & we feel sorry for those who cannot see it, they always say the same : "Its boring, there's nothing there!" Oh Yes There Is 😊 Just be patient & blur your eyes or squint them & the magic will appear. ### 5/5 — Very surprising when you can suddenly see it! *2016-11-12, version 1.2* Works fine on iPad2. ### 5/5 — AMAZINGGG!!!! *2016-07-02, version 1.2* This is the best app I have ever seen in my whole life!!! If you do not know how to view the 3D image, it can be very frustrating!(You are not alone, I couldn't see it at first either!)This is a quick tutorial on how to view the image...First, move the device about ten inches away from your face, next blur/squint your eyes so that you can still see the screen, focus on the middle of the screen (This is where the picture will show up), after that adjust your eyes and move the screen toward you and away from you until you can see it!!! I hope this review helped!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — I remember these!! *2015-11-06, version 1.2* I remember when pics like these were sold in stores. If u know how to view these it's easy. What I like is that U can create the design, change the background and more. You can add text too. Lots of fun!look in the center of your screen and let your eyes relax. Don't stare at 1 certain spot. Your eyes may cross a little then when your eyes focus you will see it in 3D ### 5/5 — Great for playing around! *2015-11-04, version 1.2* Ok, this app isn't for making great art, IT'S JUST FOR FUN!!!! Once you train your eyes to see stereograms it is super cool. 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟 ### 5/5 — This App Creates Great Stereograms *2015-09-23, version 1.2* If you are familiar with Color Stereograms this app is Great! You have to know how to train your eyes, then it's like riding a bike, Once you get it............you'll love it! ### 5/5 — Dumb *2015-02-14, version 1.2* You people know nothing. For all the haters, you have to have the magic eye in order to see it. First you have to practice crossing your eyes then relaxing them together. I learned how to do it with out even knowing that people did it too. It's not 3d until you know how to have the skill. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
