### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2020-10-28, version 2.0*

i wish you could change the layout/size of the template and i also wish it had a generic colour slider as it’s hard to find certain colours.

### 1/5 — Non functional

*2020-08-01, version 2.0*

The party option doesn’t work, you press stop party and it just reverts to your original design. The buttons constantly get stuck at the top of the screen. Extremely annoying.

### 4/5 — Beautiful App

*2020-05-16, version 2.0*

I love this App , wish there was more color customization there just two color circles , please add more Gradient colors , textures like glitter , frost etc . ☺️

### 4/5 — Great app

*2018-03-12*

Should be allowed to switch to landscape!! Otherwise amazing app!

### 2/5 — Neat idea, easily breaks

*2017-06-16, version 2.0*

If you put a dot in at the top you can't drag it anymore and it's pretty much stuck up there. Put both dots at the top and they're both stuck, screen turns totally white and the UI completely disappears. There's no reaet...Maybe a phone shake would suffice? The Party Mode is weird, when you stop the party it returns to your previous state...What's the point in that? Needs work.

### 5/5 — Sexy & Simple App

*2017-02-17, version 1.0*

Saw this on ProductHunt and was blown away. This app is a masterpiece, mostly because it is so simple.

The gradients look stunning in the app & the rgb values are a big bonus for any designer or developer. It is just super useful for finding gradients that work. Sure, it doesn't get a lot of use every week but I'm glad to have it on my device and In my armoury ready for when I need to experiment with colour. Nice job dev team!

### 5/5 — Great start

*2017-01-29, version 1.0*

This app has a great concept and is fun to use. I made some nice gradient backgrounds for my iPhone. To take it to the next level, it would be great to see hex values and the ability to copy to the universal mac clipboard so I can create a gradient on my phone and then apply it to a design project on my mac

### 5/5 — Gradients for daze!

*2017-01-26, version 1.0*

I really love this app. I prefer gradient wallpapers on my phone and this app makes it EXTREMELY easy to create a lot of fantastic options. 

These gradients a usually super smooth but I sometimes see banding in the image.

### 4/5 — Four stars

*2017-01-21, version 1.0*

A very cute tool but limited. Would be nice if the picker moved above your finger as you dragged it (like typing on the iOS keyboard) so that you could clearly see which colour you're selecting. Would also be nice to be able to set the hex value of one of the pickers. It doesn't seem like it's possible to do solid grey with this? Where on the screen would I need to tap?

### 5/5 — Neato

*2017-01-19*

Hey Ryan & Mike, 
found this in a thoughtbot tweet and downloaded it to have a play.
Really like the colour pallet choices and the simple way it works. It's actually mad! 🎉
Love that you built it in 2 days.

Great stuff, and actually, pretty handy 😄
