Nice app Rez too low on export.
Not sure what depth it saves at, but when you use it as a wallpaper it doesn't look very HD.

5 star
Relaxing. It takes your mind off things.
2015-05-05
Really beautiful (:
This app is sooo pretty, lovely to play when you're feeling a bit stressed or need to calm down. Would love to see wider range of colours on the palate but I love the option to blend colours. Everyone should own this app, go back up and get it now - you won't regret it!

The best game for relaxation
The best peaceful music
2014-12-01
very good
Great app - Just one thing though; how do you mute the sound?
2014-11-27
Great game
I have had some bad games on my iPad but this is not one of them it is amazing I am sooooo happy with the game it makes you sleepy witch I don't normally like but with this game it felt nice to be sleepy :)

Makes me feel happy sleepy
I like the pretty patterns... They make insomnia seem productive. Even though it's really simple, it's very satisfying and makes beautiful pictures.

Silk
Blown away by this app -easy to use and incredibly satisfying.
2013-05-17
Amazing and relaxing.
Firstly people who said it gets old after 5 minutes you are so wrong. It helps you relax creating patterns with relaxing music to help. You can go on the app now and then to help you relax and trust me it helps a lot. It is easy to control the brush and a good set of options to chose how you want to draw and not too many which makes it nice and simple to use. The creations you can make will stun you! I highly recommend this app and is worth it.

Lush !
Tranquil , spiritual , relaxing , peaceful music , a joy to pass the time with my imagination. At last an app which can appreciate my mind .
2013-05-10
Very addictive
Whole family hooked, love it. Kaleidoscope of the tech age!
2013-05-06
Half an idea.
Should be able to save colour patterns. They should be available on drawing area, maybe by double tapping. Adding text, predefined shapes, templates. Rate other people's drawings.
2013-04-20
Love this app!
Fascinating way of chilling out.
2013-04-17
Amazing
Beautiful app. Relaxing. Enjoyable. Fun!
Could do with:
- Portrait mode for iPad
- In-App volume control
- Unlimited 'undo'
- Ability to edit saved to camera roll
- Background colour options, at least white
- Share using iMessage
Otherwise, I love this app. By a little bit of skill but mostly by the lucky swirl of a digit, something wonderful occasionally appears!
2013-04-17
I love this!
I love this! It's amazing!!! It's one of my favourite apps. Totally worth downloading, maybe more colours could be added or different effects but overall i love it.
2013-04-16
Rubbish
Boring and stupidly designed, waste, of, money. Get something more decent and arty like Paper. God bored of this first time of playing.
2013-04-14
Silk is brilliant
This a great app for finding the artist in you. Would rate it 5 however could we have a few different background colours white pastel pink, yellow and green.? Loving this.....
2013-04-13
Wow
This apps is £1.99 but worth it love just cracking it out for a bit of relaxing fun I do seem to draw bunnies a lot but think about it tweak the settings and drag one color to the other for even better designs love this app
2013-04-11
Love it!
Great to unwind to. Thought I'd get bored fast but I really haven't!!
2013-04-09
Beautiful
Beautiful app. For just relaxing fun, it gets 5 stars...but the ease with which you can create beautiful images makes it addictive and so much more...and in that capacity it gets 4 stars only because I'd love to see a few extra features on that side:
- more revision history stored as you draw, so you can undo more than just one step. Even just 3 steps would be great, although 10 would be even better.
- the ability to reload and edit images you've saved to camera roll.
- the ability to zoom in and out to make more intricately detailed patterns.
2013-04-07
Very nice
Wanted to give this a five but even though its a really slick app, it still needs a few minor additions such as when drawing on the iPad, some of the mirrored detail doesn't appear on the screen so it doesn't get save symmetrically. Perhaps it would be an idea to save it as a square image even though it doesn't necessarily have to appear on the screen. Also some more colours or colour effects would be good as the stretchy effects I think are too weak and don't show up well. Also having a white background so that saved pix can be used in other PC apps.
Music is cool and graphics drawing effects are very nice. Oh yes, a pinch and zoom would be very nice so that its easier to draw non-mirrored pix or writing banners etc.
Thanks

Awesome

2013-04-04
Beautifully addictive...
Stunning app that is visually mesmerising & sounds beautiful too...so relaxing. Would benefit from option to undo more than once tho but otherwise a really addictive & appealing app. Love it!
2013-04-04
Love this app
Pure simple genius, it is a delight to use and produces really beautiful results so easily. Would love to see more colours introduced and some pattern wave adjustments. But beautiful, simple and a triumph!
2013-04-03
Beautiful, intuitive & original
All of the above. Could do with more options to undo.
2013-04-02
Stunning!
Came across this by chance and so glad I did - it's mesmerising and powerful makes you feel magic. A must for anyone's app collection!
2013-04-02
Awesome
This is a great App, would like an eraser though as you can only go back once. Having said that I find this one of the most innovative art type apps going and sooo relaxing, love it, keep up the great work

An App Transformed!!
This was an app I got but had not used much - then all of a sudden magic happened! The new upgrade is the coolest thing ever! The music is very relaxed and ambient and each new page is an adventure that you can save on the iPad! I love it!
2013-04-01
Get it now!
Don't bother reading these reviews. Get it now!!!! It's not a game you will play non stop for hours but it allows you to relax for 5 mins and unwind.
Stop reading!!! Buy it now!!!!!
2013-04-01
Soothing Art App
This app is a hypnotic joy to use. It will turn anyone into a creative wonder worker. The colours are limited and the repeat options could become larger in later iterations, but for now it is fascinating to see what the app will do with your finger flips!
And although I won't be sharing them on facebook until I have really mastered the techniques, I do like the fact that I can download my works and then improve or develop them in photoshop. If Vishnesky develops this app further I will certainly be interested in buying, but could he ask what we want to see first?
2013-03-31
I am now stress free!!!!!!!
I am coming to write this review not because the app told me to (which it didn't!) but to let people know that you too can be stress free if you get this app. It is so great!
Stop reading the reviews (including this one) and get this app. You owe it to yourself!
2013-03-31
Good
And very impressive
2013-03-30
Great
But can't find the general settings anywhere , also a red would be nice and import of backgrounds ? Otherwise lovely
2013-03-30
Cool but gets old
Cool app but it gets old pretty fast. What would be really cool would be more customisability and animations instead of just static images. I don't really feel that compelled to share my creations on Facebook either.
2013-03-29
thought I'd hate it
Only bought it because i needed to de-stress and comments were very supportive. Though it would be just another 'arty' gadget but I just love it. So relaxing.
2013-03-29
Fantastic
Ability to change background to photos?
2013-03-26
Fantastic!
Since the update, it's got even better, truly to an 11! I've been able to create some stunning artwork, it's super easy! Let your imagination run away, £1.49 for such an incredible App is excellent.
Just one feature request, would it be possible to have an option to export artwork to a transparent background? Would allow me to do some epic design work ☺
Keep up the awesome work, Yuri!

Neat, but lacking features
I downloaded this after playing with the web version and I was really disappointed to see that it's missing the best features of it: Symmetry and Sharing.
As far as I can tell, you can't do either - how do you save doodles (beyond doing a screen grab)? Also - it says to use a 5-finger tap to clear the screen, but when i do it just exits the app back to the home screen. I suspect 5-finger taps clash with a default gesture in the newer versions of iOS.
Please update the app - it's got so much potential, but right now it's not being realised.

So beautiful
This app is stunning. Somehow relaxing and provides hours of entertainment. I highly recommend it
