One of my favorite apps!

The patterns you can make with this app are amazing, and there is no end to their variety! Best spiral app ever!!

UPDATE: Bravo! If the previous version was the prelude, then this is the main act! When I received the update notification, I was hesitant to do the update for fear that something would get broken. When I finally summoned the courage to update the app, I was delighted to discover that all my favorite features were still there, plus several new ones, all packaged in a much more comprehensive user interface. I particularly appreciate the deeper color palette, and the increment buttons which allow you to precisely set the speed of all the rotating parts. The resulting artwork is wonderfully complex and infinitely variable; vastly superior to any of the Spirograph apps. I have even used Spin Draw to generate high-tech looking artwork for brochures for my business!

Thanks for a GREAT tool at a GREAT price! Two thumbs way up! :-)

Awesome physical math and art!

A real pleasure to use and mind-blowingly cool. Easily outclasses the other spiral / Spirograph apps. Super fun!

I also love the lack of ads, in-app purchases, and donations to a great charity.

This is the kind of app that made me fall in love with the App Store.
