User Reviews

Users praise the app for its rich creative toolkit, meditative feel, and recent gallery improvements, plus a capable free version. The main complaints are the lack of an in-app save feature, a cluttered drawing area, persistent drawing bugs, no zoom, and limited color/brush options.

Pros

Rich set of creative options and effects (kaleidoscope, mirrors, rotations) that keep art creation varied.
Fun and meditative to use with a well-designed, satisfying interface.
Gallery feature added in the latest version, improving viewing of your work.
Free version offers many features, making it accessible.
Saving/exporting on-device via screenshots or camera roll (a convenient workaround to save work).

Cons

No built-in save/export feature; users frequently request a save button.
UI/menu is cluttered and takes up drawing space; no option to hide it.
Bugs affecting drawing (errant dot connections, pen/zoom issues).
No zoom functionality; limited scaling controls.
Limited color and brush options; desire for more colors and brush sizes (and occasional color layering issues).

Recent reviews

(Previous review is on the SymLab basic threads) I can’t tell you how many times I’ve deleted an app bc devs have forgotten their consumers loyalty, the people who trusted in the app from launch and up to app upgrade rollouts — symmetry lab just did exactly what I thought they’d do, which is, remember the users who’ve trusted in the app from the outset. It’s 2026, yeh? — but I’ll go wide and call it 30+/- years that AppStore and PlayStore marketers have been able to put all their User data/response to work to improve the app and their user’s experiences and trust. so thank you!
