I have both versions of iOrnament on my devices. I have been using them interchangeably. I’m more accustomed to the older version. The text on the interface of the newer version is harder for me to read. But now I have a new problem: I am unable to save files or videos, since I have upgraded the iOS software to 16.1. So that needs to be resolved hopefully very soon. The best I’m able to do is to make screenshots of the 3D shape layouts. I haven’t tried printing them directly yet. I’ve been taking files to a copy shop for laser prints. ### 4/5 — I think I love this *2022-10-12* But cannot figure for the life of me how to import my own photos?? ### 4/5 — Beautiful app! *2021-02-09* Love this app. Though it would be great to have the full screen mode where the modifiers still work to make it more of a interactive visualiser. Need high resolution video output. Please add this to your future updates <3 ### 5/5 — Wicked Tessalations *2020-08-18* If you are into pattern making this is a must. Combine this with iornament for pattern heaven! ### 5/5 — Sensational app thank you *2020-07-27* Worth the purchase. ### 5/5 — Herrlich! *2020-05-19* Alle iOrnament Programme sind sowohl fesselnd als auch hilfreich und lehrreich ... Top! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-01-12* Love this app and use it regularly however one thing I noticed it lacks is a hi resolution video export option. The resolution on the iPad screen capture is higher res than the output of the iOrnament videos - would be great to have a hi-res feature in a future update if possible! ### 5/5 — Love creating repeated motifs? You’ll love this *2019-11-24, version 1.0* I adore iOrnament and this is in support of that app. While I use it less frequently, it is still a stellar app for the things it does. Five stars here! ### 5/5 — I Ornament And Crafter are a great pair of app.s *2019-06-19, version 1.0* Fun with beautiful symmetries, while you learn and relax . ### 5/5 — IOrnament crafter *2019-06-10* Sehr gute Ergänzung! ### 4/5 — I love this app, but!!!! *2019-06-05* I love this app, but I would really love to see the speed exporting to video become much faster, and would love the exported video become of a much higher resolution. I am trying to use my exports in film and need them to be of a much better quality. If I am missing a trick, please let me know, or think about improving export quality in the next update? Keep up the great work 😜 ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2019-04-07* This is a wonderful app. Giving you the power to animate the mandalas. 3D animation and beautiful crafting. No other app has such features. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unable to stop/freeze frame so image can be used as art work. *2022-10-28, version 1.0* This is very frustrating - no instructions - unable to stop animation so I can use frozen frame in art work. Without this feature, the application is useless. ### 1/5 — Bought as companion to iOrnament *2021-01-13, version 1.0* I don’t know if it’s a bug, but it’s very difficult to get an image created in iOrnament Pro into this program, and once you do it is impossible to remove it or use any other image in it. If I wanted to print images made by others which are included with the app, I could do that for free from the internet. I bought it specifically to be able to use my designs. ### 1/5 — Sadness *2020-05-08, version 1.0* Bought the in app purchase so that I could use save to giff, video, add text. None of it works. What up? ### 1/5 — In-App purchase not working *2019-12-27, version 1.0* I am unable to buy In-App purchase on my iPad Pro 11” 2018. ### 1/5 — No use *2018-11-25* You can not create any new design. You can only chose from those given in the app. ### 1/5 — Not what I was looking for *2018-06-06, version 1.0* Prob great for doodling but useless for what I neeed😔 ### 2/5 — Ist’s nicht wert *2022-05-18* Schöne Erweiterung zu IOrnament, jaja. Ich habe mir diese App nur gekauft für 1,99, da ich gerne Videos als Spirale exportieren würde. Bei IOrnament Pro gibt es die Funktion nicht gibt, zumindest habe ich da wenigstens einige Möglichkeiten etwas beim „Rendern“, was bei der app eher ein Raubkopie der 80er gleicht, einzustellen. Hier Fehlanzeige, selbst die Geschwindigkeiten sind komisch und nicht wirklich vernünftig selbst einzustellen. So das eigentliche Problem ist die Qualität des Endprodukts. In der App wunderschön, zu wenig einstellbar aber wenigstens habe ich eine HD Qualität. Exportiere ich aber mein Kunstwerk, wird es einmal durch den Toaster geschickt. Nachdem dann ein paar Krümel auf meiner Kunst gelandet sind erkennt man nach dem „Rendern“ oder wie auch immer man das in dem Fall nennen kann, nur noch 360toast. Schaut man sich die Informationen des Videos an, wird es einem als 1024p verkauft. Ich hoffe ich bin einfach nur zu dumm die drei Einstellungsmöglichkeiten richtig zu kombinieren aber nach Versuch 27, hab ich einfach keinen Bock mehr. Ich will mein Geld zurück oder erklärt bekommen was ich machen muss, damit das funktioniert, was versprochen wird. Ich hoffe ihre Ärmel rutschen beim Hände waschen runter… ### 2/5 — i’m a bit confused *2021-06-27* do you only get to animate art ? i thought you’d be able to make ur own stuff on the app i only just got it so i don’t fully get it yet but i can only look at other peoples art and switch it’s colours and stuff ### 2/5 — Good but needs more controls *2019-03-28* It saves the video film in .mp4 which is useless because QuickTime doesn’t open it. And it’s a nightmare converting it. Give us more options please. ### 3/5 — Es una buena app para jugar no es profesional *2021-03-27, version 1.0* Me gustaría trabajara vectores y mapa de bits No es precisa en el trazo y no permite exportar material de ningún tipo. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please add a higher resolution button, ha *2025-06-01, version 1.0* I’m starting to have problems with using these images in collages because of the pixelation I need about three times the resolution like there is an Eye ornament pro….. hopefully zoom in able!…. That’s my humble request.awl Great program ! Though ### 5/5 — IOrnament *2025-03-02, version 1.0* Great details!!👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Hours of pleasure *2024-09-14* This is a fun creative app, well thought out and includes some great ‘how to use’ videos. Be prepared to lose track of time! ### 5/5 — Nice work I’m using it right now *2024-08-22* A very fun app and good for any tiles you have lying around ha ha ### 5/5 — I use it since 2014 *2023-07-09, version 1.0* I’m so happy about this apps. Full fill my need to create and draw. ### 5/5 — divertente *2023-02-07, version 1.0* in versione completa é ancora più bella. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2022-02-16, version 1.0* Thank you for making iO Crafter and it works perfectly with iOrnament using the export option it is fun and inspiring to make animated gifs and 3D gifts 🙂 ### 5/5 — Great companion app to IOrnament *2021-04-19, version 1.0* There is so much within this great app! I especially loved kaleidoscopes! The printing option is also wonderful! ### 5/5 — Hours of fun *2021-04-06* A brilliant app and easy to use, it’s given me more fun than any other app. I love the Platonic solids. Perhaps a future upgrade could include other solids such as cube octahedron, rhombic dodecahedron etc. The moving images must be working the processor very hard because I notice my iPad gets quite warm if I run them for a while. ### 5/5 — Разводняк *2021-01-08* Все ок, работает как отдельно так и вместе с основным приложением --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
