Love this abandonware

I have really enjoyed using this app since it was released almost 10 years ago. Every iOS update I check to see if this app still functions. Thankfully no issues with 18.1. Will be a sad day when it no longer works.

Seems just ok

This app was fun. Controls seems limited but useful to a point. Devs promised more updates but have stopped. I wish more was coming. Only a broken URL for app support.

Still mostly operable!

Very cool app that has worked for years and years and still mostly works. (can’t use it to take photos anymore – must import, but no biggie.)
I hope the developer is OK. 🤞

Can’t get enough of these ⚫️🟢🟠🟣⚪️

I’m glad it’s still working after all these years.

Great App

I found this app far better than the more commonly known StippleGen. Really simple but great to use for pen plotters.
