iOrnament: draw mandala & art

the amazing pattern maker

Features & Capabilities

iOrnament is a state-of-the-art drawing tool that turns a single stroke into intricate mandalas and patterns using 17 crystallographic wallpaper groups. With Apple Pencil support, 3D Touch, rainbow colors, and a glow pen, anyone—from doodlers to professionals—can create fascinating ornaments. The app includes an interactive tutorial and a rich library of drawing tips, making complex symmetry approachable and fun.\n\nExport your work to Photos, email, or Facebook; work with transparent backgrounds; save, load, and recover sketches; and switch symmetry types on the fly. The 'design mode' blends several symmetries in one image, and you can preview fundamental cells, apply Escheresque color schemes, or add 3D ornaments and textures with in-app purchases. All of this is grounded in mathematical patterns, with a sampler of classical ornaments and a math-focused tutorial that teaches the theory behind wallpaper groups.

User Reviews

iOrnament offers a feature-rich, ad-free experience with tiling, textures, and time-lapse exports, ideal for beginners and kids and for sharing patterns. But multiple reviews cite usability gaps, stability bugs, and UI quirks, plus a wishlist of missing tools. Overall it delivers strong creative value for hobbyists who can tolerate occasional glitches and a learning curve.
Pros
  • No ads and a clean, uninterrupted experience
  • Rich feature set for its price (tiling/pattern controls, textures, math-based options, glow effects, and time-lapse exports)
  • Beginner-friendly and accessible—even for kids
  • Relaxing and addictive for creative doodling and stress relief
  • Patterns and designs can be reused/exported across apps
Cons
  • Usability/navigation is not intuitive; hard to access the home screen and view past mandalas
  • Stability issues: crashes, freezes, and undo/redo problems that can cause loss of work
  • UI/orientation quirks: menus disappearing after rotation and occasional missing controls
  • Insufficient help/documentation and discoverability of features (tips/manuals)
  • Missing core features and common tools (layers, background options, fill tool, brush smoothing)

I saw the creator demonstrate this software package, and i purchased by first apple product in 20 years BECAUSE of this app! It is that cool!

Best game ever

I’m very impressed - so much is included for its price. You can do time-lapsed creation videos, use textured backgrounds, and it really has so many mathematical options so you don’t have one pattern base - you can alter every aspect of every design element. I of course push every button & sometimes it takes a minute to figure out what I need to do to change back, for ex: getting out of the design setup and back into drawing, or how to turn “glow” off, etc. But you can always read the tips which sum it up well. Love this app!
