It's as close to a real spirograph as you can get, without futzing around with those annoying pins! ### 1/5 — Really *2019-03-01, version 4.2.1* This app worked, now just Black screen....? What ### 5/5 — Really beautiful *2018-12-20, version 4.2.1* This is a well thought out and beautiful piece of creative software. Everyone should have this on their iPad. I’ve not had any stability problems running on an iPad 2017 and everything seems to work. The print outs are perfect and create lovely designs ready to hang on the wall. Best of all, it integrates with the original Spirograph so it’s easy to explore how to create certain shapes. Thank you for creating this software, it’s so well done. I would encourage further enhancements as per your website if you have time. It’s a labour of love I know as I can see this isn’t going to be a huge money making app but hopefully the joy you have given through design will make it all the more worth wild. ### 4/5 — Great App *2017-07-04, version 4.2.1* The only thing that would make it better would be to include different gear shapes. As another reviewer said, it would also be awesome to be able to pin a gear and use another gear to draw around it. Over all, a great way to spend some time. ### 5/5 — Terrific and Creative!! *2017-02-16, version 4.2.1* Have used lite version for six months. Upgrading to paid version. Creative and playful app!! Nostalgic of play when kid of gears and paper and pens and pencils. Go to app when traveling! Relaxing and fun! Excellent user experience. Looking forward to exploring new features as play in upgraded app. Helpful tutorial. Kudos!! Many thanks! ### 5/5 — Spirograph reinvented *2017-01-02, version 4.2.1* I remember loving my old Spirograph and all the amazing mathematical artwork it could make. Well, this program returns that joy to me and everyone who remembers their old Spirograph with fondness. I also really love being able to make my own rings, etc. It is one of the most fun apps out there and I am so glad to have it on my iPad ready to let me release my stress with some good old harmless fun! ### 1/5 — Stupid *2016-12-11, version 4.2.1* I tried to play the app got a black screen when you press the home button you go on the app its stupid ### 2/5 — Paid version VERY glitchy!! *2016-06-05, version 4.1.0* The paid version is extremely glitchy! After you make a few rings, the screen below the circle turns into a white box. I'm very aggravated that I paid for this and it does not work well!! ### 1/5 — Black screen of uselessness *2016-05-31, version 4.1.0* The purchased version has not been working for awhile! The free version continues to be functional. Please fix the blank screen ### 4/5 — Non-Rings? *2016-05-25, version 4.1.0* Can you add those non-rings and rings that have teeth on the outside? ## Frequently asked questions about Überdoodle ### What is Überdoodle?
