This is fixed in version 8.5 which is available now. Sorry about that! ### 4/5 — How do you reset this? *2026-05-12* I was experimenting with the setting and now I can’t get back to making kalidescope images. :( **Developer response:** Hi Abner, it's hard to say exactly what's happening without knowing more, but in general the way to increase the number of folds of symmetry is to tap the symmetry button on the right toolbar (looks like a circle with one or more lines dividing it into sections) and adjust using the slider and button in that drawer. If you're having trouble feel free to reach out directly. ### 4/5 — I've sent years with this thing. *2017-06-04* This app's been on my phone for a solid two years, and boy am I happy with it. I just wish more tools would be put into it, like a tool for making smooth curves. It can be tough to draw those freehand. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks so much for your feedback. I'll be making more updates this year and will definitely consider a smooth curve brush style. ### 4/5 — Great *2017-01-16* I love this app and use it relatively frequently. It works very well for the most part, though it can be frustrating when I'm making something, exit off, then soon come back to find that something deleted. Other than that, the current version is awesome. Also a quick suggestion: it would be cool to have a zoom-in feature :) ### 5/5 — Love it *2016-03-09* I love the app. It would be cool tho, if more regular colors were added ### 4/5 — Look Deeper *2015-03-05* There is more here than meets the eye (check out the presets). BTW, your support website is down! Landscape mode on iPad would be cool... **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the feedback. The new support site should be up and running now. I'll be making more updates this year and will definitely consider landscape support. ### 5/5 — Great app for exploring symmetry, and just playing! *2015-01-02* Set to symmetry to 2 to start kids exploring the concept of symmetry, or kick it up a few notches and draw beautiful, unexpected designs with random movements. Fun! ### 3/5 — Doesn't support landscape mode. *2014-02-07, version 7.1* Why not? 3 stars. ### 5/5 — No bugs, just beauty *2013-05-30* I'm writing this having had absolutely no bugs (ipad 3) but for what it's worth this is one of the more satisfying and beautiful little time filling drawing apps I've used and well worth the flippant 69p. Great if you love art and maths. And I do. Thank you for the app Luke, well done. ### 4/5 — Great *2013-02-24, version 6.0* Really great app but needs a way to undo please ### 4/5 — Needs undo step *2013-01-17, version 6.0* Great. Just needs a way to undo a step or two! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2012-12-17* Costs quite a bit of money but it's worth it. I love this app! ❤❤❤😃 ### 5/5 — It's fixed! *2012-12-10* I saw there were some really bad reviews because of a bug, but if u look at the versions, it says its fixed! This app is AMAZING. I've had the basic version (it doesn't exist anymore) and I loved that, but this is just the coolest drawing app ever. This is a great one for kids to mess around with (because its impossible NOT to make something look cool with this app) and its cool for teenage nerds like me (I just spent 25 min making an epic version of the deathly gallows symbol from Harry potter) though there is a price to it, u make up for it in about a day, when I show off your new iPhone background to your friends, and u get to tell them u made it yourself. Amazing, just amazing (no, I don't work for this company/business/people, I just like this app that much) ### 4/5 — Love it! *2012-01-25, version 5.0* But wish the resolution of the saved images was higher. ### 5/5 — I am creative now! *2011-06-19* In a world of apps where you play the game according to a developers whim, this app lets the player have the creativity. Different every time. There are so many ways the app can be enhanced. (looking forward to updates). love it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why do I crash when I open the app? *2013-03-21, version 7.0* When I try opening the app, I see the title screen for a split-second, then it closes on me! Anyone know why this is happening? I am frustrated! ### 1/5 — Crash *2013-03-17* The new update has caused this to crash on startup **Developer response:** Hi, I'm sorry you ran into this issue. I've just shipped a major update which fixed a lot of bugs. Please feel free to reach out directly if this is still happening. ### 1/5 — Horrible. *2010-08-17, version 0* The first screen freezes, the buttons don't work, and I wasted a dollar on this. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2010-07-08, version 0* When I take my finger off the screen thee patern keeps going. I really want my money back ### 1/5 — So slow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2010-06-30* This app is soo slow for iPod touch users and for this reason I don't like it as much as the basic! It crashes a lot and it is so frustrating when it freezes. Please fix this app asap because it is driving crazy!!!!!!! Small note to iPod touch users get the basic version or rotadoodle!!!!!***** As for this app!!!!!* one star is the lowest I can give!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — great idea but... *2010-05-21, version 0* Actually a fabulous concept which I was very eager to try, but like others have mentioned, the command screen freezes up. Also needs some instruction regarding the commands. I will await an update!! ### 2/5 — Won’t save to iOS *2018-11-15* Won’t save to camera roll **Developer response:** Hi, I'm sorry you had a negative experience. I just shipped a major update which fixed a variety of issues and should allow you to save patterns to the camera roll. Please feel free to reach out directly if this is still happening. ### 2/5 — Omg it was working really well *2011-07-30* Hi just wanted to say this app was working really well within the first few mins of buying although now, after drawing some funky patterns it now is just drawing huge blobs! I recommend it although u may find some problems so I am not sure whether or not it is worth 69p! **Developer response:** Hi, I'm sorry you had a negative experience. I just shipped a major update that fixed several issues. Please feel free to reach out directly if this is still happening! ### 2/5 — Ok *2010-05-08, version 0* It freezes, but I like the whole idea. ### 3/5 — Missing some important features *2016-03-13* I would give it 5 stars if I could just change the background color. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks so much for your feedback. I'll be making more updates this year and will definitely consider this for a future version. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — tobanael najimy / review *2026-05-29* If I sat down to count my reviews of AppStore stuff — well, I have the attention span of a pinecone so I’d probably never get to doing that lol but this app is maybe the coolest. I started with the basic version and then I guess it was a week or so ago that I decided I wanted the full version and honestly I’m loving it that much more. At first I had said it was just the simplicity of the app but if I’m being entirely honest — once I started really thinking about it, the mathematics and geometry of it all is anything but simple. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I appreciate it and I'm glad you're enjoying the app. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2026-05-15* Amazing app. Being able to save to gallery so easily is huge. ### 5/5 — Fun and easy to use *2026-05-09* The new (2026) update is very cool and quite sleek. The gallery feature is awesome! **Developer response:** Thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying it. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-05-08* Awesome app. I love all the new features rolling out - I’ve been using it for years but now being able to zoom, save, and share is great! It’s so relaxing and interesting to see all the shapes form! ### 5/5 — 2021? *2021-02-24* who’s here in 2021😂 ### 5/5 — Beautiful app *2019-03-15* Lots of fun creating fractals, many color and mirroring options. The only thing i'd still like to see is the option to let color overpoint what's already there; right now the colors are additive meaning in the end it's all white. Great app though! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2017-10-09* Very clever! ### 5/5 — Terapeutico e relaxante!! *2017-08-05* Gosto muito deste app... É uma pequena ferramenta para relaxar no dia a dia. Fazer desenhos simétricos traz uma sensação terapeutica. Gosto muito de desenhar escutando música! Recomendo! ### 5/5 — BEAUTIFUL *2017-03-17* TOO MUCH BEAUTY I LOVE IT ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2016-11-02* This is by far the most relaxing, blissful, distracting, and mind numbing app I've ever had. It's good for people who like an exact balance of chaos and structure. It's good for people who need to outlet their emotions in a stimulating way (visually). It's my favorite app. Honestly it's so good because I come home stressed from school and this just takes my mind off of it for a while so I can breathe --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
