Love the simple, clean interface. A brilliant addition to my app development tool box! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2018-11-28* This app is great and meets my needs perfectly. It is also sort of fun just watching the colors change! Great work :) ### 1/5 — Useless unless you pay for overpriced premium *2018-11-28* The concept is good, but the fact that we can’t even EXPORT the gradient without premium - which is $6.50 a month, or $78 a year - is ridiculous. It’s pay to use, and I despise it. ### 5/5 — Excellent app 👊🏻 *2018-11-28* excellent work, very well designed, fluency and excellent iteration, very intuitive ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-11-28, version 1.0* Amazing app, great for designers and developers. It will help a lot with finding the right background more efficient. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — So nice! *2018-11-28* I use gradients in lots of my work and coming up with them can sometimes be really difficult. Especially if I have to share them with others...this app makes it so easy to create beautiful gradients! Great job Eduoard! ### 5/5 — Great! *2018-11-28, version 1.0* Great little app and easy to use. As a fellow dev I’ll be sure to use in projects! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-11-23* terrible ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-01-05* I can’t seem to get past the subscription screen ### 1/5 — COST MONEY FOR A WALLPAPER *2021-06-29* Why does it cost money for some thing of a wallpaper ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2020-08-26, version 1.3.6* You have to pay a ridiculous amount for a gradient background. Free versions out there that do exactly the same thing. ### 1/5 — No. *2020-07-31* The app seems awesome, but it either needs to be free or one time payment. Pay monthly / yearly is ridiculous for such a simple application. Ads are obnoxious, throws me around when I’m trying to just test the app out to see if I even want to give any money. EDIT: Joke of an app, you can’t even export a gradient on the free version and you have to pay monthly or yearly. Lol No thanks. Do not download. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE APP!!!!l *2020-06-17* This is a horrible app!!! When you try entering hex codes to create a gradient you get an error that only certain digits and letters are aloud in hex code which is absolute CRAP!!!! I’ve worked with numerous hex codes most of which have zero in them which this app will not let you use **Developer response:** Hey there, Ed here, the developer. I’d love to hear more about the issue you faced. I’d probably be able to fix that for you. Would you mind sending me some details via the app’s contact form available in the About tab? Thanks in advance, Ed ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-05-01* It doesn’t let you even have more than tree colors. You shouldn’t have to pay to get a watermark removed, it also shouldn’t be in the whole background. ### 1/5 — I’m not paying *2020-03-28* You have to pay to even have the gradient direction switch. I could make a better gradient in the notepad app ### 1/5 — ᑕOᗰE Oᑎ ᗩᑭᑭᒪE *2019-10-29* ᗩᑭᑭᒪE YOᑌᖇ ᔕTᗩᑎᗪᗩᖇᗪ Oᖴ ᗩᑭᑭᔕ ᕼᗩᔕ TᖇᑌᒪY ᗪᖇOᑭᑭEᗪ ᖴᖇOᗰ YOᑌᖇ ᖴIᖇᔕT IᑭᕼOᑎE.

Sorry to hear that you haven't found what you were looking for. I'm an independent developer and as such I make a living out of the apps I create. This is why I ask for a small contribution to use all the features inside the app. The app is free to download and free to use for the most part. Once you play with it you will see that you can create gradients and you can see the hex colors... with this... you can definitely create nice designs for yourself. If you want to save these gradients, or access more features, feel free to upgrade for the price of a coffee. I don't think it's too much to ask for an app that took me weeks to think about, design, build, test and launch. I hope that helps.
