PadGadget.com says:
“Now you might be reading this thinking, “There are already a large number of really good painting and drawing tools so what does OmniSketch bring to the game?” Instead of standard brushes and pencils, OmniSketch’s brushes use mathematical algorithms to draw patterns which interact with previously drawn lines to produce a cool sketch with detailed effects.”
and:
“One of the coolest OmniSketch features is its mirrored drawing mode. You can opt to have your strokes mirrored across your iPad’s screen (top and bottom, left and right or both options) to produce really stunning designs.”
iTunes App Store Customer Reviews:
airmouse1221223 said, “What I think is really cool though is that they have mastered a sort of pressure sensitivity effect without the ipad having pressure sensitivity. The faster you go, the bigger the pattern. Brilliant!”
Keywiz said, “Great art fun on the Ipad. Different then the other art programs I’ve tried with a unique feel to it. If you enjoy doing art on the Ipad you are gonna want this!”, on Jun 12, 2010.
