Comments on Inspiral for Android

★★★★☆ Drew Dehel · Nov 9, 2024

I had an itch for Spirograph art and this app does a pretty good job. The basics that are already unlocked are fun and interesting, and the unlock for everything seems reasonably priced, although I haven't purchased it yet. My big inconvenience thus far is that to switch the holes on the gear you have to go into a tool menu and then select a specific tool to enable selecting a different hole. I think this would be much better as something instantly available at the top menu or something. 🤔

★★★★☆ SpeedDS DemonStar · Dec 22, 2023

Fun game, but could definitely use a few improvements, especially with controls. Please add: ● a better way of zooming in/out without accidentally rotating and while staying centered. ● some way of knowing what gear combo was used previously ● undo shouldn't change currently selected gears ● A way to mark favorites, both fixed and rotating parts, maybe colors too ● Effect pens such as color changing/ gradient, multicolored such as rainbow, etc. to go along with glowing or regular only.

Just like Spirograph, without ink smudges and gears slipping. Love it. 👍 Would be over the top if you could have multiple different colored pens active at the same time. 🤩

★★★★★ Tiffanie Faith · Aug 13, 2022

I always loved the designs made by a Spirograph, but was always frustrated by the gears slipping and ruining the design. I love this app because I can finally make the designs I imagined 50 years ago

I want to say it's a cool app, but most everything of interest is locked behind the premium/paid feature. Including picking a custom color. So either it's 1.99 per feature, or 6.99 for all. I can't really justify dropping $7 on something I have no idea what it even is or does. Should really offer a trial, or add watch then able to use premium feature(s). That way people like me would have a greater chance of spending the money for the app. As is it sits right now, I just deleted it. Sorry

I launched this app twice so far, got to play/mess with it before it restarted my tablet both times. Can't enjoy the app if it is restarting my tablet. Will be uninstalling this.

★☆☆☆☆ Demetria Lehmberg · Jun 17, 2024

Is there no direction on how to make a specific design like the old version game you get from the store. The game come with a little booklet that tells you what gears to use and what holes to use for a specific design.
