I love Whorl

This is a brilliant app. I have nothing but admiration for the makers of Whorl, this app has endless possibilities, whether you are professional or just trying digital art making for the first time.
Let your kids try it! Tell your friends and family! It is endlessly fascinating to work with, producing both still and animated images.

3D shapes app, Whorl

2025 Review: Whorl creates pretty kaleido-style designs and wallpapers. Not sure if I am a Pro or not; I would have purchased for one-time fee, but no "Settings" section that I can find. Only reason I subtracted 2 stars is that apps like this are too difficult to use in portrait-mode only on iPad Pro 12.9" in landscape mode, necessitating turning the entire thing sideways! What are these developers thinking? LANDSCAPE MODE PLEASE!!!

Can’t export hi-res image w/selected background color

As noted, the hi-res image only saves w/ transparent background. What’s the point of a pro subscription if you can’t export as you designed? You have to go into photos, select the image, go into a layout program and add fussily add back—if you can match it—the background color you designed the image with. And even if you do that, there can be artifact colors introduced from the copy and paste, so lots of touch up time required if you want to go forward. These transparent files can’t be placed into Illustrator without massive color distortions. I should’ve tested the Pro subscription instead buying outright. Waste of money. Wow.

I sometimes feel it’s more comfortable to use the app in landscape mode. Can you please add ability to also work in landscape mode in a future update?

Amazingly Creative App That I’d Purchase…

.. @£19.99

I almost clicked on the ‘Buy Button’ in the app today, but I simply cannot allow myself to pay £40.00 for it, it’s tempting, though.

Why is it so tempting?

This app has so very much creative scope for the iPad User that you can create infinite pieces of graphic delight to suit whatever frame of mind you are in.

I’m hugely grateful the developers have created such a cool tool, and I’d never want them to ‘give away’ their time for next to nothing as many people seem to think developers should - no!

I’m always happy to support developers who create a great product that receives intermediate updates and, most importantly, has great customer support - ‘Whorl’ has everything I mention.

So, what’s the issue?

Quite simply: an amount of £20.00 to purchase the app is more fair than £40.00. I imagine it’d also attract a whole lot more customers making the purchase, too. So, lower the £ & increase the custom!
