This is great for those that struggle with anxiety or stress. Trust me this is one of the best purchases you’ll ever make. So thank you all developers for making Silk 2 - Generative Art. ### 4/5 — One thing *2026-07-24, version 2.0.23* I know it is a drawing game not a train draw game but if you could chose the color of the backround that would be great and make good drawings and post the on this and then make it so you can make the picture ps very very very very very great game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Have to pay *2026-06-19, version 2.0.23* It did not say you have to pay for the app ### 5/5 — Pretty good! *2026-06-12, version 2.0.23* You can change the brush settings at the top right which is really cool and useful for your drawings. There’s straight ➖➖➖, wiggly 〰️〰️〰️, cloud / watercolor ➿➿➿, and you can even make the straight and wiggly lines have cloud / watercolor, too! But there’s more. You can choose patterns in the bottom left corner as well! There’s so many to choose from. You can have mirrored lines or one line, and even complex geometric like shapes. There are many different colors, as well. White, black, rainbow, or single colors too. You can mix the colors to make it fade from the two. I rate this one 10 stars out of 5, but unfortunately I can only put five :] ### 5/5 — Gorgeous and captivating! *2026-04-24, version 2.0.23* I’ve had this app on my phone for many, many years. I just came across it again while organizing some apps. Each time I rediscover it, I end up spending a lot of time with it and always come away noticeably calm and satiated. It’s meditative, relaxing, beautiful art anyone can enjoy with a single finger. You don’t need to be an artist. In fact, I expect not being an artist is probably beneficial; you will be amazed! Great job, keep it up! ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-04-22, version 2.0.23* Simple to use and enjoy. ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-03-15, version 2.0.23* The skills are amazing and so beautiful and pretty I love it ### 5/5 — The best *2026-02-28, version 2.0.23* I do not like any people that say that this game is trash because i loved it.😀👌🏻🫶 ### 5/5 — just so great!! *2026-02-24, version 2.0.23* so this is an app that keeps me occupied especially when I’m sick. other than that, I have no idea how to put my love for this app in words. I saw another review say the same thing and I agree. it’s such a great app that if I had to choose if this app had a job, it would be a model. also, it also creates an opportunity for me too, share my artwork with my friends without having to take a photo and send it. I can just tap the share button! thank you!! I hope this helps!!!! ### 5/5 — Excellent Drawing and relaxing tool *2026-02-02, version 2.0.23* Easy to express one’s artistic skills and inspiration.
