Update for iOS 16 needed!

Ever since iOS 16 launched the app stopped working. Now it no longer opens! Please update your app or remove from App Store!

Almost there

Great app - a myriad of pattern design formats to choose from. The only issue I have is that the exported PNGs & images are low resolution, and look quite pixelated. Please fix this and I will give a 5 star rating.

TONS of patterns to customize!

This app has a huge selection of repeating patterns to start with, then they make it super easy to make your own forever-repeating pattern. As a graphic designer I appreciate the many ways to export the final product for use in my work elsewhere!

An astonishing app in many ways

This app must have taken many hours of work to create. It can do things that would be very difficult in other apps. I like what it does very much and hats off to Kevin......however.......if you Kev are reading this.......apart from the rather obscure and fiddly ways of doing some useful things (as you - the user will discover) ...... why, just why cant I save a high resolution image of the single tile? The highest resolution I have found is by taking a screen shot of it. The export option implies it should be possible by choosing the untiled option and an image resolution. But no dice. I’m really hoping I’ve missed something here. Or maybe it was a deliberate way to sabotage the apps usefulness in the real professional world. The ability to save a single tile at reasonable resolution would earn Pattern Artist an effortless five star review. In the meantime, if you’re into pattern making this app is a buy.

Zen and the fun of pattern magic

I say zen, because my mind tunes into almost a meditative state when completing a puzzle. Highly recommended. The companion app Pattern Artist allows you to create your own puzzles. Also highly recommended!
