User reviews

Looks nice, couldn’t get grid aligned

Even after multiple attempts to properly align the grid of my pdf pattern the grid lines were still off. My attempt to compensate for the grids being too low from the starting points didn’t fix anything. I’d give this another shot if that was fixed.

The ux is pretty though.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you so much for your review. I'm working on the app every day to make the grid alignment as accurate as possible. A fix for exactly this is coming in the next update, and I think it will solve the problem you ran into. Thanks for giving it a try!
