I’m currently designing a hex based war sim and I’ve been having trouble generating a perfect (and easy to use) hex tessalate. I used HexTML on browser and tried a couple of different apps and they functioned, but with great difficultly and low quality. I finished this map (a recreation of the previously created ones) in about 10 minutes (and it has over 3000 tiles). Fairy wonderful app, I would suggest adding support to export entire map to camera roll as an HD image, bc i ended up having to edit the map together in R4VE, a photo app. Other than that minor inconvenience this app is absolutely phenomenal in its simplicity and consistent quality.
Very barebones. No way to change colors for solid swaths of land, no markers for cities or terrain (swamps, desert, jungle, etc.) and the map tends to jump around while I’m painting ocean tiles. But a great way to make a barebones environment to convey where your adventures are and where they can go. I would like to see more options for color (pallette selection for the Blue tile, maybe?) perhaps that can be more beneficial to creating more delineated areas of influence or landmass.
This app is a little short on features, but hey, it’s free, and that’s more than can be said for most of the other map-making apps. Even so, I find that most of what it lacks, such as being able to place settlements and add text, can be made up for with the markup features in the Photos app. I would love to see it be developed more, especially if more types of terrain are added, but I find that it does a good job as-is.
