Get unusual iOS digital painting app Flame Painter for free

Escape Motions has made the iOS editions of Flame Painter, its particle-based digital painting software, and Inspirit, its mandala-creation software, available free.

Both apps, which are compatible with iPads and iPhones, are now free downloads, and the in-app purchase needed to unlock the full toolset of Flame Painter is also now free.

Flame Painter: paint magical effects and light trails with particle brushes
Like its desktop counterpart – it’s also available for Windows and macOS – the iOS edition of Flame Painter makes it possible to paint with customisable particle-based brushes.

It’s particularly well-suited to adding magical effects and light trails to images, but can also be used to create abstract backgrounds.

On its release, an in-app purchase of $0.99 or $2.99 was required to unlock its full feature set, but this has now been removed.

Inspirit: create mandalas and kaleidoscopic patterns
Inspirit is aimed more at casual users, and is intended as an intuitive way to create mandalas and kaleidoscopic patterns. On its release, the iOS version was priced at $0.99.

System requirements
Inspirit is compatible with iOS 8.0+ and iPadOS 8.0+. Flame Painter is compatible with iOS 9.0+ and iPadOS 9.0+.

Both are free downloads, and the in-app transaction required to unlock the full toolset of Flame Painter is also now free. The Windows and macOS versions remain paid products.
