Has great potential !!
WISH LIST:
I want to be able to select and colorize cells or columns or grids.
Also a copy feature would be great.
Thank you.
Can’t draw on it?
Works for me.
This is the only app I’ve found that I’ve found that’s simple enough.
There used to be some software we could order but it’s no longer available.
All I need is lines, both straight and curved, and a good range of colors.
This is the only app I’ve found that fits my needs.
In fact, this is the only thing I’ve found that even comes close which is very surprising.
Perfect w/ a suggestion
I wanted an app to help me in designing, or editing, a Bargello quilt design. This app was a perfect solution. It allowed me to choose the size of grid I wanted (68x108) and to copy or import a picture file onto the grid. The picture underlying the grid let me see that my calculated grid size was off by a few rows AND I was able to adjust the grid to fit the actual “size I need.
The only suggestions I would make would be to allow the modification of individual rows (horizontally and vertically), and to allow substitution of color to the imported picture; ie from original purple to blue. This app would be a great addition for quilters.
Fantastic
Excellent for coverting knitting charts
Don’t Waste Your Time or $

Thank you for commenting on the app. To get the sharpest graphs, see our tips for making fine-line graph paper at https://www.nnnsoftware.com/how-to-make-fine-line-graph-paper.html. Also, if you choose the PDF option, you can choose the fine line width option used for the PDF. For grids converted by the Paint tool into a pixel image, use the highest resolution at the conversion step (there is a choice of 75, 150, or 300 dpi.) App purchase includes three paper types - rectangular grid (the most commonly used and most powerful), dots, and diagonal — with all of the app's features — grid line color, size, and spacing, custom settings for paper size and margins, ability to put multiple grids on a page, ability to convert grid to a paint image where patterns can be colored, etc. As you noted, specialty papers can be purchased later, such as brick - a favorite of beaders.
Cannot delete lines in Paint mode
Response from developer
Thank you for taking time to comment. As you wrote, GridMaker has tools to draw lines on top of a graph brought into Paint. To delete a line [1] tap on the line to select, shown when a dotted box is drawn around it; [2] tap the trash icon added to the toolbox when the line was selected. If you are on an iPhone in portrait mode you’ll need to scroll to see the toolbox, or rotate the phone to landscape to better see the extra tools. Also, once one line is selected, tap the arrow keys to step through the lines. [If you accidentally delete a line, use Undo to get it back.] Another option is to export a grid and edit it with your favorite drawing or painting app. For the sharpest and most flexible results, convert your graph design to PDF and then export it. Many graphics apps will import the PDF as vector data. Graphs converted by Paint can be exported as an image.

Exactly what I wanted
Great for technical nerds like me
Waste of money.
Cant undo basic writing. Horrible app. R
Can’t erase lines
Works and could be easier to use
Latest version improved interface and help system so 5 stars now.
I’m planning to install some free form stones to make some curved paths and boarders in my garden. Breaking out of perfect symmetry for landscaping applications might be an interesting horizon...

After playing with it a bit I got the grid I wanted and for that I’m most appreciative!
It’s a good utility as is, with a better interface and a better built-in help system it’d be 5 stars.
Lots of room for more and different forms to be included like a kaleidoscope function, random generator, and free form constructions the user makes and the app generates from.

Thank you for your positive review and kind comments for improvement. The latest release, 1.21.0, focused on making the app easier to use. GridMaker now includes a set of video tutorials that walk through how to get started with the app and tips for using its advanced features. Also, thank you for your enhancement suggestions, you’ve got us thinking!
Just what I needed

Great app
Odd numbers
Response from developer
Thanks for the opportunity to illustrate some of the capabilities and flexibility of the app. The simplest way to get a graph that uses a non-square base like you are trying to do is to start out using a major grid of 1 inch by 1 inch. And then use the minor grid to get division by 5 in one direction by 7 in the other. We have also adapted the app to handle specific sizes, based on feedback from another knitter. So, another way to do this would be to input the specific dimensions for the major grid, in this case 0.2 and 0.14159 for 1/5 and 1/7. However, we usually recommend setting up the grid to help you count - usually by 10. So, instead, set up a major grid of 2” by 1.4159”, and then use the minor grid to divide the major grid by 10. (Or minor and subdivision to do 2 x 5 to get 10). One can also work with metric measurements, instead by using the metric settings for the paper.
