Sand Garden App Reviews

So many options of sand color, lighting, rock shapes and types, and rakes. Saves right to the camera roll with no issues. I do wish there was music, though.

The sound of sand being moved around would be great.

It's addictive and unbelievable beautiful! It's hard to stop messing with it

Makes me happy!

A highly relaxing app that encourages creativity; very enjoyable. Like the different options for sand and light, though slightly hard to see with some colors. I would love to see the developers include bonsai, but I’m still more than happy to play. Great for needing a break from the day-to-day.

easy to use, relaxing, beautiful, fun. would love some more different rocks, but this app is great. love the different tools.

Seriously, it surprised me how impossible it felt to get a simple zen garden app for on the go. I thought there would be a bunch but almost nothing. I decided to get this one to satisfy myself because I seriously couldn’t get raking sand out of my head and I have not been disappointed. I wish you could customize your sand color but otherwise it’s everything it needs to be. I enjoy calming myself with the creative gardening and if I find rocks or patterns I like I can save them so I don’t feel bad shaking them away or starting with a new one. This had potential to be partially done cheaply made with a sand texture and some stone jpgs, but there’s a 3D element to the sand and it’s lighting which makes this both quality and extremely satisfying to use. Every once in a while the sand clips but then you just re-rake it 🤷🏼‍♀️ No undo buttons in a real garden ;)

  What the heck to you expect? A pixie to fly out of the screen??? This app is very calming. You idiots don't have anything better to do than #^+>~ about stuff!

I used to have a different Zen Garden app that was amazing. It had the rocks and sand, but also, music and plants and other Zen objects. It also had the sound of the sand being raked. I play my own meditation music in the background when using this app, but I do miss the plants, leaves and other objects the other app had. But I do love the lighting options!!!! The other app didn’t have that!

This app was gr8 @ 1 time. Like, when it first came out. Since then they’ve tried (& IMO failed) 2 upd8 it. STILL no “clear” or “undo” button. Yep. 2018 & NO “undo”. Where it sez “add rock” u will c a plus & minus sign beside both the size & polish 4 your rock, BUT NO ACTUAL ROCKS 2 SELECT! U just tap the screen & hope 4 the best. I’m so sorry guys. I love the color selection 4 the sand, the tool selection, & even the choices of light. It ends there tho & feels unfinished. So. I will FINISH it by DELETING THIS ONCE FUN APP. 🤬 U describe the upd8 as having “undo” & “save garden”. REALLY?!?!!! WHERE?!?!?!

Having lived in Japan, having loved the many gardens including Zen rock gardens, this app strangely brings a modicum of that peace I felt. Thanks. However the constructive criticism of reviewer MrElliott applies. I would also suggest a double-tap to bring up "Done", and "Tools" – very distracting to see while creating a sand garden.

This app helps me relax when I need a break from a busy day and want to unwind!🔑

Pretty entertaining. Could use some easy enhancements. Tip: Tap rocks to duplicate, change or delete. 1. Needs a better sand texture for sure, this one is not very realistic. (Google image search: sand texture seamless) or buy texture pack. 2. Let user pick their rocks. Or show all rocks included. 3. Better erase sand tool, so you can start over but keep rocks. The straight tool almost erases sand but leaves small lines. Keep up the great work!

It reminds me of Japanese rock gardens LOVE THIS APP!!

Update is great - customizing rocks makes this even more beautiful. Relaxing and fun; great app.

Don't get it it's stupid (No offense)

Stupid just plain out stupid,waste of money

An app this simple shouldn't have glaringly awful bugs. On my 6 Plus, iOS 9 vertical lines randomly mar every attempt at doing anything with this app. Please fix.

Original Sand garden had ability to clear sandbox without saving. Also need to be able to exit with out saving or select new garden.

Title says it all

very soothing to use. wish there was a way to incorporated a ocean shore feature with lapping water on the sand!!!

I thought it said 0.99 so i thought, ehh might as well try it. It is terrible, a waste of money. I wouldn't download it if it was free. It is a waste of two bucks and memory. Relaxing my a**. Stay away from this app.

I find to be my "go-to" app to unwind (I have a lot of these types of APPS) and this is my current favorite!

Update the graphics and wider variety of tools, I'de go on but writing a review is also a waste of time. Fix those and maybe I'll throw another star in.

There should be a view other then from above. Like an earth view. This is a waste of my money!

This is a very fun app, I liked it immediately!

Please add sound to this (sand like sound) and this would be just perfect! Please get to this! This would be 5 stars if so!

I found this app really fun and interesting. I do however find it annoying that I cannot save my setup of rocks and the imprints on the sand... I also believe that there should be other rock shapes and textures that could make it even more cool.

Omg!!! I hate this app!!! It is the worst app on the planet!! Complete waste of 2 bucks. I thaught it would be fun and relaxing, but I was way off!!! 0 stars if possible. I want my money back!!! Wouldn't buy it for free!!!!! Do NOT buy this app!! :(:(:(:(;(:(:(:(

Helpful in design very intuitive

Great app, very relaxing. The only thing I can say is it would be great to see all rocks and choose from a menu rather than clicking "different rock" and having to rotate through them one at a time. Also a way to start over with the sand while keeping your rocks. A way to tap to reveal tool menu instead of having it show on the screen as it's distracting. Overall I love this app and am looking forward to the next update!! Thank you to the creators and developers for making something awesome that makes a difference!!

Great app but the sound of raking the sand would be an awesome addition.

Looks like whomever made this game has left the building.

Has enough elements to create some nice gardens. Enjoyable

I bought this app a quite long a go and only played it twice it's boring you can't do anything wit it and the worst part is that I bought this app 1 year ago and it was 0.99 and now it is 1.99 so its bad enough at one dallor but to I just came to the app store to find this app and write a review™. 

Dont buy it!!! It is a waste of MONEY TIME and MEMORY THis Deserves 0 stars!!!!!!!! So Boring and stupid!!!!!! Please, Save ur 2 dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Nice app to draw using your fingers and create some interesting paints. Only suggestion if you can add Undo /Redo buttons Will be very helpful!

Really helps with my anxiety and other ptsd symptoms. Very soothing.

How do you change tools?

NEVER BUY THIS APP IT ID SO BORING DO NOT BUY

I find this really soothing & just a good time. I am playing on an iPad & it takes me to another place--a good one.

This is a great little App. However, the flow of playing with it is always brought up short for the lack of a UNDO button, which is kind of a basic function in anything of an artistic nature. Otherwise, pretty nice little app. Now how about that UNDO button, developers!?

It would be awesome if you would add music or a stream option and some animal shaped rocks!! The app is ok but not worth $2. 99 cents is about all I would want to pay. Thanks.

One issue (on my iPad pro); after this update, my previous gardens would crash when selected. You must start fresh with a new garden. To get rid of the crashing gardens, tap and hold. But it looks neat on the big screen, and has lots of customizations.

What a lovely thing to play with, to relax with, to get creative, to simply enjoy.

You change tools by using the tool menu which is in plain sight. Nice program, (I wonder how some people get through the day i.e. nonintuitive above)

Very relaxing, peaceful, creative, I just love it!

Too glitchy, I'm gunna keep it till u make an update b/c it's so much money! Crashes whenever I try to do ANYTHING

This is kinda stupid,no offence
