### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-08-30, version 2.1*

It’s my go-to app for creating beautiful gradients to use in my art and layouts.  I love how simple it and how perfectly it does the job.  Thanks!

### 5/5 — does what it's supposed to do

*2020-04-20, version 2.1*

It does what it says but could you add a feature where you can add text

### 5/5 — Simple app to make pleasing wallpapers

*2019-06-23, version 2.0.1*

Easy and quick to make gradients of any two RGB colors you choose.

One suggestions to the developer:  Angle rotation is 90° (12 o’clock to 3 o’clock);  would be good to have ± 90° rotation. That along with the swap button would allow placement of the gradient axis anywhere (e.g. upper left to lower right).

**Developer response:** Hi there. 
Thanks for downloading my app!
The features you mention are already in included. 
Have you updated to the latest version?

### 5/5 — I love this app!!!

*2019-01-20, version 2.0.1*

I have been scouring the web for an app where I can create perfect gradients. This is the only app I could find where you could create a gradient that went straight from the top of my screen to the bottom. Amazing app!

### 5/5 — No nonsense awesome app!

*2019-01-12, version 2.0.1*

I like simple gradient wallpapers on my phone and this app does everything I could imagine. It’s well written and generates high quality gradient wallpapers without any bloat. Highly recommended.

### 2/5 — It was great

*2018-10-21, version 1.1.1*

I no longer see be option to save the pic to my gallery. And the app keeps closing. Update and fix please.

### 5/5 — 1,2 MB

*2018-07-13, version 1.1.1*

Muy útil, gratis y la App con más bajo peso que he instalado, aprendan desarrolladores.

### 4/5 — Love

*2018-07-08, version 1.1.1*

This is a fantastic app. I love the quality of the image after saving - I know a lot of iPhone apps reduce image quality but that isn’t the case here. I also love how EASY it is to use. I absolutely recommend it. However, I give it four out of five stars only because when inputting the colors, you can only slide your finger across the bar. I wish there was a way to type the RGB colors, or if it had arrows alongside the bars that way you can easily get the exact color you want. That’d be awesome. As well, it would be amazing to see a feature where you can just paste in the color code. Thanks and I hope this review was of value. Great app

### 1/5 — Are you kidding?

*2017-07-19, version 1.1.1*

What a nightmare to use. Near impossible to set RGB to the numbers I want.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-04-15, version 1.1.1*

Does everything it claims. Quick to use, well made. Needs to be higher up in the App Store!
