Great to add to the arsenal!

I’ve been creating digital art for almost two years and there isn’t anything out there quite like Whorl. It can create the most complex structures to the very minimal. I’d recommend it to any digital artist and anyone who likes to play with shapes.

I had an issue with saving the high resolution image and contacted the developer. I was quickly replied to and the issue was solved in just a few days. Not only a cool app but a cool developer who cares about his product.

Cute

It's a cute app and fun to play with for a few minutes but frankly if Adobe can't get this pro artist to pay for a subscription, an iOs app is never going to. Would I have paid a couple bucks for it? Probably, but there are many awesome apps in the same genre that don't require a commitment to a subscription and with enough scope to have significantly less chance of getting boring quickly. I also would never buy an app that won't show me what their "high resolution" output actually looks like before I make the purchase. I've been burned by that promise more than once over my many iPad-using years.

Developer Response ,

The high-resolution dialog allows you to zoom-in to the actual high-res image up to 100% and investigate up close in the app itself. To do this, you can tap on the whorl image in the high-res dialog to go to a full-screen zoom mode. Thanks for your feedback. High-res export is now included with a Pro subscription.

Super cool, lots of potential, but

Played around for a minute, loved it, paid for the annual subscription, then looked for the button to save the current state and create a new design only to realize there isn’t one.

I get it. It’s ephemeral.. but for all kinds of reasons, especially paying $25, I would really like to be able to save a design in a library and open a new one. But the export options are otherwise great.
