How to play

Open Orbly, tap "Draw Today's Circle", and trace a circle on the canvas in one continuous stroke. When you lift your finger, we score your attempt from 0 to 100% against the best-fit circle. You get one attempt per day. Tomorrow brings a new one.

If you want to practise without the pressure, use the Practice tab — unlimited drawings, no score submitted.

Frequently asked

When does the daily challenge reset?
Midnight, in your local timezone, synchronised to a server timestamp so the reset is the same for everyone in the same zone. If your device clock is set to manual and drifts, Orbly will refuse to record your score and ask you to set Date & Time to automatic.
Why does Orbly require a connection for the daily?
To prevent players from rolling their clock forward and playing tomorrow's challenge today, we verify the current date with an Apple server before scoring. Practice mode always works offline. If you're in a spot with no signal, try Practice until you reconnect.
How is scoring calculated?
Your stroke is fitted to the best-matching circle, then scored on roundness, closure, angular sweep, stroke smoothness, and direction consistency. Roundness does most of the heavy lifting — the closer your stroke is to a true circle, the closer to 100%.
I drew what looked like a perfect circle — why didn't I get 100?
Getting above 95 is genuinely hard and takes practice. Small radial wobbles you can't see on screen are still measurable to the scorer. A score above 85 is a solid attempt, 93+ is masterful.
How do I restore purchases on a new device?
Settings → Restore Purchases. As long as you're signed into the same Apple ID that made the purchase, it'll re-apply within a few seconds. The app also restores purchases automatically in the background on each launch.
Will my streak and circles sync to my other devices?
Yes, automatically via iCloud, as long as you're signed in to iCloud on both devices. You can verify at iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Apps Using iCloud → Orbly.
I bought Remove Ads but I'm still seeing ads.
Force-quit and reopen the app. If the Remove Ads IAP still shows as unpurchased, tap Settings → Restore Purchases. If it's genuinely not restoring, email support@playorbly.com with the email on your Apple ID and we'll investigate.
How do I turn off ads or change my tracking preference?
For ATT (identifier tracking): iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → Orbly. For in-app consent choices (EU / UK): Orbly → Settings → Manage Privacy Choices. To remove ads entirely, buy the Remove Ads IAP or the Premium Bundle.
The Game Center sign-in keeps failing.
Open the Game Center app (iOS Settings → Game Center), confirm you're signed in there, then relaunch Orbly. If the issue persists, it's almost always an Apple-side outage — check Apple's System Status.
Can I delete my data?
Uninstalling Orbly removes all local data from the device. iCloud-stored data lives in your Apple account — you can manage it at iCloud.com. For Game Center leaderboard entries, contact Apple Support. For anything else, email support@playorbly.com.

Still stuck?

Email support@playorbly.com. Include your iOS version, device model, and a short description of what you expected versus what happened. If you can screenshot the issue, that always helps.
