Pattern Art

This app is amazing! Create some cool backgrounds for you mobile! Honestly! You don’t even need to buy premium, and still have tons of stuff to work with! I definitely recommend this app if you are looking for cute backgrounds!

I’m not against paying for apps. I enjoy procreate and adobe fresco. I’m willing to pay if it adds value to my pipeline. This however does not. The idea is great. It’s why it got me to download and try it. But the implementation is glitchy. Works better with the proprietary art, but for my uses I really need to import my own stuff, and it starts faltering shortly after I do so. Also there is a glitch where it infinitely zooms away from the edit field after placing 3 objects. There aren’t many tools that can be creatively used. It’s capable of making very basic tileable patterns, you can’t use it for making game tiles or web design wallpapers. This on top of the predatory subscription model makes this a very disappointing app. I could see this pleasing very casual users for a .99 cent one time download price. But currently I recommend anyone on the fence to give this a pass.

I love the idea of the app (hence the two stars as opposed to one) but something about the phone interface is VERY difficult to use. It may be because I’m used to using a computer being precise with alignments, measurements, etc but it’s very hard to align the objects and make them the size I want them to be. Additionally, I appreciate the size of the motif selection but it’s honestly overwhelming. It’s hard to sort through everything and the categories are messy at best. You can’t search for categories or anything, just endless scrolling. Will be deleting as I don’t see myself using this app unless they improve the interface.

The functionality is missing a few key features. And $364 a year is absurd for what this offers. 1) the app doesn’t automatically pattern options that go over the edge of your work space. To get a true perfect pattern you have to fit your objects within the square, which defeats the purpose, or duplicate objects and resize / move it to be perfectly aligned. 2) you can’t duplicate or delete an object. So if you want to get a nice pattern with objects that overlap the edges you have to eyeball it and hope you get it perfect 3) no customization for output sizes or shapes when you save 4) The app crashes every time I try to save 5) no easy option to create transparency for your own artwork. The eraser is ok but an easier tool would be the ability to select a solid color (like an unwanted background) or use a selection tool Overall, very mediocre and I’m sorry. When your limited app costs more than an Adobe app, you need to rethink your pricing.

This app is pretty cool, I just downloaded it. Only two things I’m not fond of. One, with the free trial you have a certain number of patterns you can create a day, it asks you to sign up to create more, but you’re already signed up. So that’s annoying. Other thing is there aren’t a lot of options in some categories, nor is the app easy to maneuver. So overall it’s okay if you just want something to do, if you’re trying to actually create, I wouldn’t recommend.
