### 5/5 — Estupenda app

*2026-01-24, version 4.02*

No solo para entretenimiento , también es muy útil para hacer bocetos de patrones sin costura.
Lo recomiendo.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-05-01*

Horrible

### 4/5 — ISymmetrie

*2024-07-29*

Schöne und intuitive App. Viele Symmetrietypen mit denen man schnell und einfach Muster erstellen kann. 

Hängt sich leider manchmal auf, sodass man die App dann neu starten muss. 

Erkennt keine transparenten Hintergründe, wenn man Kacheln aus einem anderen Programm importiert. Beim Import externer Bilder ist die Auswahl des richtigen Ausschnittes schwierig und nicht genau zu setzen. Es könnte mehr Pinselspitzen zur Auswahl geben. 

Für den semiprofessionellen Bereich ist die App ganz gut, wenn man professionell damit gestalten will, bräuchte es noch die oben genannten Funktionen oder Verbesserungen.

### 1/5 — How to use

*2024-01-26*

This has the ability to be a great app. But the lack of instructions, half of the options do not work right. This is NOT a  well thought out app. Most of the options don't work.

**Developer response:** I'm so sorry your having problems with the app. I do respond to every message I can. But I get a message from the feedback form, without an email, that sounds like it could have been you. So I have no way to contact you! Please send me a message at https://www.isymmetry.art/pages/support.html or with the in-app feedback form (email is now required!). Tell me the device you are using and the version of iOS, and as much detail as possible about the problem and I will try to help.

### 2/5 — It’s hard sorry

*2023-06-09, version 3.7*

It’s just really hard and there’s not much colours you should add more than that (sorry by the way you are amazing)

### 1/5 — Вылетает!

*2023-05-11, version 3.1*

Перестал работать!

### 5/5 — Great app, so many options

*2023-04-03*

Such a great app, with so many templates to make great patterns. 

It would be even better with more brushes and maybe stability added to brushes so it snaps to a shape if needed. 
Saving options are great, the layers is a fabulous feature. 

It has so much potential for more!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying our app and its features. I have lots of great new brushes and drawing tools under development, which I hope to release soon.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2023-03-19, version 3.3*

Won’t let me export a tile with the free trial, features that were previously available seem to have been removed and the feedback button from within the app doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Bug fixes?

*2023-01-13, version 3.3*

I should know better than to update an app whose only description is bug fixes. I’m unable to tell if bugs were fixed as I never noticed any in the first place. Instead, a subscription is now required to perform basic features. I’d have no problem paying a one-time upgrade fee, but a subscription? It's not worth it. Sorry to see this. It was a fun app.

### 1/5 — Unable to use

*2022-11-21, version 3.1*

I have tried numerous times get a hold of tech-support to Company. I’ve had absolutely zero response. I cannot even use my app that was previously there in the lack of response. He’s done nothing but pizz me off and I’m no longer gonna use this.

**Developer response:** I'm so sorry your having problems with the app. I do respond to every message I can.
