PolyGen is the app for “low poly” art. It lets you generate crystal patterns automatically or manually by hand. Sometimes, apps don’t give you many options to play with, thus limiting your creativity. Because of this, we’re getting accustomed to picking predefined wallpapers or using the same old filters. If only there was a tool that would let you create pretty designs by yourself effortlessly... Enter PolyGen, the app that lets everybody be an artist. With PolyGen you can: - Generate endless amount of polygon patterns - Pick your colours, sizes, contrast and more - Create beautiful abstract art - And convert photos to geometric art too - Switch to the editor and place points by yourself - Use the pattern as your smartphone wallpaper - Or generate avatars, social media backgrounds, and more Some of the reviews: TUAW: PolyGen is a useful app which gives your iOS home and lock screens a look you can constantly freshen up. JC7133: I've been looking for an app like this for a while. The amount of customization (a massive amount) is so great. Cyberspace: Love the fact that it supports desktop screen sizes. No more scouring the web for abstract wallpapers! PolyGen features simple, useful solutions wrapped in an easy-to-use interface. You can generate new polygon patterns with one simple tap. If you wish, you can control the process and it’s easy to “lock” your favourite attributes too. Editing vertices of shapes is also simple: tap to create one or tap on an existing one to delete it. PolyGen patterns are ready to be used as mobile or desktop wallpapers, avatars, or social media backgrounds. Users have shared them on art portals and added them as illustrations to blog posts and social media. The patterns vary from colourful to calm, from simple to intricate, from abstract to photorealistic. What pattern are you going to create?

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: VAST at 100% against PolyGen's 55%. VAST also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0). PolyGen's advantage is ratings volume (47 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. VAST sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and PolyGen sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
VAST holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PolyGen has 47 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of VAST's written reviews are positive against 55% of PolyGen's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
