Meticulously and cleverly engineered app
I love the cohesiveness of this app and the iOrnament app. It works best with the iOrnament Pro as it switches back to the pro version if it’s installed on the device. I have both versions of iOrnament on my devices. I have been using them interchangeably. I’m more accustomed to the older version. The text on the interface of the newer version is harder for me to read. But now I have a new problem: I am unable to save files or videos, since I have upgraded the iOS software to 16.1. So that needs to be resolved hopefully very soon. The best I’m able to do is to make screenshots of the 3D shape layouts. I haven’t tried printing them directly yet. I’ve been taking files to a copy shop for laser prints.
Unable to stop/freeze frame so image can be used as art work.
This is very frustrating - no instructions - unable to stop animation so I can use frozen frame in art work. Without this feature, the application is useless.
Optimization needed for the following device
Device: iPad Pro 12.9” (3rd Generation, 2018) OS: iPadOS 15 (latest version) I will definitely update my ratings after receiving above mentioned updates.
Great companion app to IOrnament
There is so much within this great app! I especially loved kaleidoscopes! The printing option is also wonderful!
Bought as companion to iOrnament
I don’t know if it’s a bug, but it’s very difficult to get an image created in iOrnament Pro into this program, and once you do it is impossible to remove it or use any other image in it. If I wanted to print images made by others which are included with the app, I could do that for free from the internet. I bought it specifically to be able to use my designs.
In-App purchase not working
I am unable to buy In-App purchase on my iPad Pro 11” 2018.
Love creating repeated motifs? You’ll love this
I adore iOrnament and this is in support of that app. While I use it less frequently, it is still a stellar app for the things it does. Five stars here!
