## Review summary

Users consistently praise KaleidoPaint for easy use and strong pattern/symmetry capabilities, along with vector-like editing and an ad-free experience. The most common drawbacks are updates that hurt usability (notably a persistent blue background), missing features like an eraser, more brushes and color blending, and the lack of SVG/vector export. There are also occasional bugs in sharing/export. Overall, it’s loved for creativity and design potential, with requests focused on feature completeness and stability.

### Pros

- Easy to use and intuitive interface
- Excellent for pattern design, symmetry, tiling and textile patterns
- Vector-based editing with precise control (Bezier-like edits)
- Ad-free and free to use
- Encourages creative exploration and is fun to work with

### Cons

- UI changes/updates have reduced usability for some users (including a blue background that cannot be removed)
- Missing essential features such as an eraser tool, more brush types, blending colors, and greater drawing stroke control
- Lack of SVG/vector export option; users want to export patterns as SVG
- Sharing/export functionality can be buggy or not work consistently
