Description
Pattern/texture designers: You’ll find the app’s unique feature set very useful when making repeatable images (patterns).
Other artists: WowPaint is great for drawing and painting “normal” art as well!
• CREATE SEAMLESS PATTERNS •
Use the Seamless Pattern Options to aid you in creating seamless patterns that can be used as website or desktop backgrounds, in print, or for textures in 3d modeling.
When you have switched on Wrap X/Y, any strokes you paint that go over the picture’s edge will continue on the opposite side.
That means that there will be no hard edges where strokes are cut off (since they continue instead), which makes the picture a perfect candidate for being seamlessly repeated.
A tremendous help when using the Wrapped Painting mode is the option of having the picture displayed as tiles next to each other.
You’re free to paint anywhere on these tiles, and you will see the results in real time.
You can also switch on Edge Indicators, to make it easier to see where the picture being repeated begins and ends.

What’s New
Version 5.4.2
[NEW] Added “Reset to Default” button to the Scrollable Palette Area menu (to open that menu, scroll the palette to its beginning and click the largest of the three buttons that appear).
[FIXED] A couple of rare user interface layout glitches.
[FIXED] In Work in Progress (Gallery), in some cases, buttons would erroneously be disabled after importing a picture.
[FIXED] Dropping multiple files on the app icon did not always place the imported pics grouped together.
[IMPROVED] Clicking a dial could result in an unintentional adjustment.
[IMPROVED] A few minor things.
Ratings and Reviews
Just What I Needed
I am experimenting with surface design, particularly repeat patterns. It is somewhat difficult to align objects for a seamless look even using expensive soft wear. I am so delighted to have found this neat little program to fill this need!
It is tremendously easy to draw designs in the grid mode and see them laid out in a repeating pattern as I draw. I can either finish them in this program ( though art styles are limited) or save them and transfer to Procreate or Adobe to trace over them with a larger array of brushes. This saves so much time, trial, and error.
The Pro plan is definitely worth the purchase and works flawlessly on my Apple tablet. I can doodle wherever I am and see how my ideas might work in a textile design. This is so much fun! Great for wallpaper too!
WOW Paint - Powerful - Unique
Different from all other paint Apps in what it does - allows tremendous creativity outside the box.
Developer Response ,
Thank you! 🙂
I wish! I WHOLE HEARTEDLY WISH I COULD DRAW in this APP
WHY are so many things called wow? WOW? anyway...I CAN MAKE lines and in fact see them GO ONTO the next tile /as if I am creating a SEAMLESS PATTERN" right....but I SEE a GAP- I DO NOT UNDErSTAND what I COULD DO with any concept, because I cannot create ANYTHING WORTH LOOKING AT IN THIS APP.
NOW MY IPAD IS TYPING DELAYED - PLUS PLEASE EXPLAIN IN APP TIP JAR??
I never saw TIP-JAR PAYMENT CHOICE-IN APPLE IPAD APP STORE!
and there is more questions....but Im not gonna make a list!
Would be lovely if it did like what is almost able+ smooth drawing- shading- and better color choice-like put this ability in Procreate.
please don't be cross with me! i really want to be able to do-Im not capable of using Adobe stuff- And Im reading at a other app-that you must load apps into the browser? What does this mean?
