Review of OmniSketch at appSized

7 July 2010

I missed this review that appSized.com did of OmniSketch on 6/10/10. Although I do remember approving the picture they did for the Online Gallery.

With a pretty big offering of unique brushes and flawless drawing, Omnisketch is a great app to just let loose and still come up with a great overall design. At a price of $1.99, it’s chock full of features that make for quality drawings and relative ease of use - definitely a great app to have without hurting your walet.

OmniSketch 1.3 has been Released

5 July 2010

Version 1.3 of OmniSketch has been released by Apple. This is a bug fix release that includes a fix to the Twitter post text, a fix with the Clear blend mode and also you will now be prompted to confirm deleting a sketch from the gallery.

This release also adds the ability to turn the toolbar Auto Hide feature off.

Also I wanted to mention something about Facebook, Twitter and the security of your online accounts. OmniSketch uses OAuth authentication in order to post on both Facebook and Twitter. What this means is that when you are prompted for your Facebook or Twitter password the OmniSketch App isn’t actually getting that information. OmniSketch displays a Facebook or Twitter web page and you provide your username and password to Facebook or Twitter and they provide OmniSketch with a “key” that allows it to post on your behalf. The OmniSketch App never has direct access to those accounts and you can revoke access to OmniSketch any time you want.

Also, OmniSketch will never make posts to Facebook or Twitter without you knowing about it.

Mixed Reviews for OmniSketch Toolbar Auto Hide Feature

28 June 2010

I’ve been receiving mixed reviews for the toolbar auto hide feature added in version 1.2 This feature automatically hides the toolbar when you start drawing and shows it again when you remove your finger from the iPad screen. Some people love it and others hate it.

I’ve submitted a new version to Apple for review that allows you to turn the auto hide feature on or off. I’ve also added a confirmation dialog when deleting a picture to prevent you from accidentally deleting your work.

It will most likely take about a week for this update to get through Apple’s review process. So look for it early next week.

Press Release: OmniSketch 1.2 Makes Creating and Sharing Pictures Easy On Your iPad

28 June 2010

Olathe, Kansas - Independent developer Richard Taylor today announces OmniSketch 1.2, the next release his procedural drawing tool developed specifically for the iPad device.

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.
