What's New in Genie Strings

2.0

March 23, 2026

Genie Strings for iPhone and iPad is here — the full string art generation experience on iOS. The complete weaving engine brings accurate string art rendering across all three portrait modes and all three board shapes. The image editor includes background removal, a custom colour wheel, and full adjustment controls. The pan and zoom canvas lets you frame your subject precisely before rendering. Monochrome mode includes four advanced controls — Darkness, Person Focus, Shadow Richness, and Fine Detail — with automatic value suggestions based on your photo. After rendering, the Adjust and Re-Render button lets you tweak any setting and regenerate instantly. The pencil button on the source canvas reopens the editor at any time without losing your settings or dimensions. Every export now includes both the nail sequence text file and a to-scale nail layout PDF with every nail numbered. Both files are saved locally and in iCloud and appear in My Templates. A full in-app instructions guide covers the complete workflow, nail numbering conventions, monochrome tips, and quick-start settings for different skin tones and photo types. Performance is optimised for long renders — the engine runs on a background thread with a serial pixel buffer to keep the UI smooth and stable throughout.

User reviews

Mis conception

First the nail layout is to scale, but not to your scale. It’s to the scale to fit on a normal one sheet of paper. Also it doesn’t give you step by step directions. $25 bucks is for one piece of paper that doesn’t even fit the wooden board.

Best app

The output of the final work is amazing… Instructions are clear and easy to use

no use

just making app doesn’t make any use should know that nail
placements and how many nails all and not even clarity if u wana upload an app make it full fledged
