Rep-Tile is a simple app for seamlessly filling large a canvas from a smaller pattern image. AI image generators like Midjourney have the incredible ability to generate seamlessly-repeating pattern tiles. But what do you do with them?

Save the images back out to your device, for use as backgrounds or anything else you desire. It's easy, with no in-app purchases or advertising.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sketchy at 5.0 against Rep's 4.3. Sketchy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). Rep's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (23 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
