Save as paint and then the app will allow more editing 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. ### 4/5 — Works for me. *2024-10-21* I’m drawing and designing needlework stitches, mainly for needlepoint and embroidery. 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. ### 4/5 — Perfect w/ a suggestion *2024-06-15, version 1.29.3* This app was just what I wanted. Perfect, with a caveat. 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. ### 2/5 — Cannot delete lines in Paint mode *2022-04-16, version 1.25.1* Making the graph paper the size you want is great. If all you want to do is that, this will work great for you. I like to draw out basic designs for cabinets, pantries, etc. for figuring out how to organize a space. There’s no way to erase or undo a line, which unfortunately makes this product useless to me. ### 4/5 — Restore a recently deleted *2021-12-13, version 1.25.0* I accidentally deleted a grid, and I was wondering if there is a way to restore? It was many an hours of work. ### 2/5 — For a paid app it’s underwhelming! *2019-08-08, version 1.17.0* The fact that you are charging for this app is wrong in my opinion. This app should be a free app. It’s missing a lot of features that I feel should be in here if you are going to charge for the app. For example when you go to edit in colors and text their is no way to undo what you just did. If I go to draw a line in color there is no way to erase it or undo it. It’s super annoying. The text feature is also very bad. I feel the app is decent for what it is but you shouldn’t be charging a dollar for it. Please update this with these simple features. ### 5/5 — Good App! HAS Erase Feature *2019-04-25, version 1.16.1* ******UPDATE I FOUND IT 😅 The app is excellent for making graphs, very well priced, my only issue is needing to restart whenever i draw a line i didnt intend to. There are many options to erase, but none of them seem to work. Id give it a 3.5/5 if i could, once this bug is fixed itll be a 5 star! Thanks for making this app ### 5/5 — Perfect Picture Positioning *2019-03-29, version 1.15.0* We needed a way to project grids on the walls of our new home to assist with placement of family pictures and artwork. GridMaker was the perfect solution. Saving grids with transparent backgrounds allowed us to project grids on our 11 ft walls for precise spacing. We created a simple grid on an iPad, connected to an inexpensive micro projector and lit our walls with bright white grids. ### 4/5 — Good item. Hopefully you guys keep working to make it better. *2019-03-09, version 1.15.0* Good item. Hopefully you guys keep working to make it better. I am having hard time adding left margin, right margin, top margin, and and extra customizable margins. I don’t see these features. And you guys need to optimize these applications to for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd generation. I am currently using this device. Please add these stuffs. If you add these all features that I mentioned above I am definitely going to purchase other paper types. Thank you. And truly sorry for the previous “rude review.” ### 4/5 — Works, but very non-intuitive to use *2019-02-03, version 1.15.0* After purchasing this app, my initial review was a firm one star! After playing with the app, I found that it is actually quite useful as an engineering tool. Usage is highly non-intuitive however. You have to do a lot of icon touching to find and open windows that allow you to adjust line spacing etc. again, non-intuitive. But hey, buy it for a buck and try it. With patience, you will likely find that it does what you want. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t draw on it? *2025-08-27, version 1.29.5* Can’t draw on it ### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Time or $ *2022-07-06, version 1.26.0* The image uploaded makes the image such awful quality. Wanted to use it for grid reference but there’s no way I’d use this app as it is for this. Also the 0.99 is for part of the app not the whole app. ### 1/5 — Do not like *2021-12-16, version 1.25.0* Cannot use pencil with this app! Found no settings ### 1/5 — Waste of money. *2021-07-02, version 1.24.0* Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Cant undo basic writing. Horrible app. R *2021-06-23, version 1.24.0* You can only undo from one tool. Garbage app. ### 1/5 — Can’t erase lines *2021-03-24, version 1.22.0* I wanted to use the app to make line drawing, but you can actually erase any lines, just full blocks. Total waste of money. ### 1/5 — NOP *2019-06-09, version 1.16.2* I just wasted my money. The green grid will stay on any project you make. There are so little thickness and color line options, you can’t customize the grid size but what the app has preset. This app is more to color grids inside the squares. If you want to make your own kind of custom lines (like me) this app is not for you. ### 1/5 — NO CENTERING when text is selected?????!!!! *2019-05-16, version 1.16.1* OMG! I’m TRYING to design a project & the OCD is making me crazy because I can’t get the letters centered in their boxes or on the grid itself! It seems obvious that is what should happen when text is selected. Needless to say the app is worthless to me without that, I can’t use it if the letters are off by SO much. Would rate zero stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Ehhh *2019-02-19, version 1.15.0* It’s ok for general graph paper and I have designed some simple things with it BUT not being able to easily make and then color half square triangles is a real NEGATIVE for me. Improve this one feature and it would be 4 stars ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-01-30, version 1.15.0* Not easy to use. I wanted to be able to plot coordinates for 2D arrays and all I can figure out is how to tap a box ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2024-05-21, version 1.29.3* I love this app for all kinds of grid types. I use it for weaving pattern grids, who’s is like pixel art. Being able to add row and column numbers is nice. So many choices! I recommend this app to anyone that needs regular spaced lines and shapes for their projects ### 5/5 — Excellent for coverting knitting charts *2022-08-11, version 1.26.0* This is a brilliant qpp for knitters. Simply set up your grid to match your gauge then import chart image and paint or rebuild in new size & proportions. The hide functions then hide your original image allowing you to export your gauge appropriate chart aa a pdf whicu can be imported into Row Counter app to knit from. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted *2021-11-15, version 1.25.0* I wanted to try different graph paper formats for a website background. This is absolutely perfect and allows flexibility in all aspects of the graph paper creation (colour, spacing etc). It can be exported into several formats at a high resolution. This allowed me to import it into the website and do exactly what I wanted with it. But it can also be imported into other software such as photoshop or note taking apps if I want to draw or type on the graph paper. For only 79p this did exactly what I wanted! ### 5/5 — Great for technical nerds like me *2021-09-22, version 1.24.1* I’ve been using the online version of this app for quite a while now & was very glad to find an actual app for iOS. I like to build grids that subdivide 11”x17” paper into 1”=1’-0” with each foot having 12 squares in order to create scaled drawings without using an architects/engineers scale in the field. But you can build whatever graph you’d like or need for whatever scale you’re working with. ### 5/5 — Works and could be easier to use *2020-12-16, version 1.21.0* Update~ 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. ### 5/5 — Just what I needed *2020-05-19, version 1.20.1* In less than 5 minutes I had the size graph paper I needed on the screen, had figured out how to draw on it and had mapped my project. The fact that I could use a two fingered pinch to increase the size of the view to save my tired old eyes after I had drawn what I needed was the icing on the cake. I look forward to exploring the program more. I create bead weaving patterns. This is awesome! ### 5/5 — I Import Into Photoshop *2020-05-10, version 1.20.1* These grids fulfill all my needs through Photoshop. Even with light-weight lines, they also print clearly on my ink jet printer. Note that with transparency, the grids can overlap and overlay. ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-02-06, version 1.19.0* I like that app a lot I use it to print papers for my kids for their school homework and games ### 5/5 — Odd numbers *2019-09-16, version 1.17.0* Great app but I wish you could divide the grid with odd numbers. I want to make knitting patterns with 5 stitches across and 7 rows up but it only lets me divide with even numbers ### 5/5 — Great for simple graphs and grids *2019-06-02, version 1.16.2* I just need to make basic graph and grid paper with different options such as color, line width, spacing, etc. This app does exactly that! I can save them as high res PDFs, or images with transparency, bring them into Notability, or print them. The cons: Besides creating simple graphs, this app is not intuitive at all. There are some editing functions - drawing lines, freehand drawing, adding notes- that are clunky, and I couldn’t quite get them to work. There is a Help section with some videos, but no written instructions anywhere and the videos didn’t explain the drawing and editing features very well. The developer website also has no additional information. Overall the app does the basics very very well, and that’s why I give it five stars. It’s worth the .99 to not have to open up Adobe Illustrator to make custom graph paper. I would love to see updates with more robust drawing and editing features and a more modern feel and interface. *** I really hate seeing negative reviews because people didn’t take the time to read the app description! This is not meant to be a note taking, drafting, or drawing app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
