Silk 2 – Generative Art
reviews and complaints

Sure this game is a bit pricy for what you think you’re getting but trust me it is for sure worth every cent it is so fun and satisfying even if you are like me and have no artistic abilities you can still do it and it is so fun I love love love love love this game and I don’t think I will ever delete this app it is so fun and amazing and so much better than the silk game online that game is fun I guess but this one is for sure the best purchase I have ever made

Silk 1 is my fav, although would be ideal if there were a DPI option to improve pixel density for later external photo editing work. Silk 2 is somewhat of a disappointment. The freestyle flexibility of Silk 1 is lost in this version, replaced by set design patterns. While some may find these various set design options appealing, I prefer the more freeform options and resulting creative swirls of Silk 1. Perhaps there can be an option in Silk 2 for incorporating either method?

This is the best app ever created in the whole entire world I’ve literally played this app for literally so long so The one thing I didn’t like so I can make a Perfect Circle, Monterey maybe make a new new update so you can make a circle show me this is so creative I love this so much it’s so creative and so much fun! It’s so much fun I kept playing it over and over again but the one thing I didn’t like about it but sometimes I didn’t look that good but I’ll fix it it’s so creative

This is a really good app and I recommend it for so many things! It is good for random doodling, sketching, or even more advanced drawing. It works well because of the color features and drawing tools. The only thing I could say that would further improve this amazing app is to add white backgrounds. Sometimes I’m in a mess when I’m submitting for contests online and they ask for a transparent or white background when I used Silk as my first app to sketch a nice drawing and now my drawing has a black background.

I have no words! This app is so calming, I haven’t even been playing for five minutes and I’m so calm and I don’t even care about anything else. This app is amazing and I saw another review saying it helps with anxiety and I’m looking forward to having help with my anxiety.
Edit: I’ve had this app for months almost a year and it’s so amazing whenever I play it I feel calm. I like making little flowers in this game and sending them to my friends. If you have anxiety or stress then I definitely recommend this game it’s really soothing and calm.

So beautiful. So smooth and flowy. Such a rich opportunity for creativity. I can play with it for hours. This latest version allows many more permutations than the previous version. More line quality choices, and more colors. My only suggestion for further developments is please add more dark colors. Like the black, where dark gets laid over light. Currently, the only truly dark color is the black. The other dark colors have dark "thumbnails" in the color picker, but when used they lay down light. It would be nice if there were subtle dark colors to paint over the top of bright areas. An eggplant purple, a navy blue, a deep olive green, a rich deep umber, etc. Thank you for making this app, it is such a delight!

Very fun app, and absolutely beautiful graphics!

I used to have a similar-concept app which has since been discontinued — I was excited to find this as a possible replacement, and it’s almost everything I was hoping for!

The one feature from that discontinued app that I miss a lot on this one is an option to have cycling colors draw over previous colors rather than turning white. It can be so meditative to draw and just keep going and going and going without needing to stop to switch brushes. There was a sense of continuous unfolding pattern that felt like slowly turning a kaleidoscope. I don’t know how difficult this would be to do programming-wise — is continuous color-cycling self-coloring-over a possible future upgrade? An example (but nowhere near as gorgeous as this app) is Fingerpaint II by MeritumSoft.

Either way, thank you for putting together this beautiful app!

I bought this on a whim as I was looking for an app to create my own music visualizations. Not exactly what I wanted, but I absolutely love it nonetheless and find the various tools to be quite adequate for creating a stellar array of beautiful imagery. Highly addicting, and I cannot give the developer enough props for the SILKY smooth user interface and just the overall aesthetic. Very tasteful. A true masterpiece.

My only wish is that there would be two additional draw tools:
1. One that draws perfect circles that can be resized and spiraled with dragging motions, for easier “flower of life” type shapes
2. A straight line tool, where you place point A, drag to point B, and when releasing the touch a perfectly straight line is drawn. Currently, you have to swipe pretty fast to get anything close to a straight line and the swipe speed leads to lots of inaccuracies.

Also I would love to see this somehow someway morphed into a custom music visual creator. It would be divine. That is what I was looking for to begin with, but I’m very happy to have found this.

Why does this cost $2.99? Big waste of money, this is an app they would have in a special education department at a school.
