  • Great

    Great app. The only thing is that at certain magnification, when the board is zoomed out, the grid disappears and it is not obvious where the border of the board is. It confused me at first as I did not know why the gliders would expire in what seemed to be a middle of the page - they just reached the border. Maybe a simple outline of the board is needed which is visible in the zoomed out view.

    Developer Response

    Good idea! I'll add an outline of the board in the next version.
  • Works very well

    No real problems with it, the cells work properly, and no ads. It’s pretty good!
  • Amazing!

    Super accurate & very fun!
  • The basics

    Or maybe not really even the basics. I could not find a way to restart or back up a sequence. It ran, it was over. Made it difficult to do repeat experiments. The demonstrations are interesting. Good that it’s free (somebody’s early project?), but I’d be willing to pay a couple of three dollars for a version of this with some experimental controls, if you know what I mean.🤔😉😊

  • Perfect.

    I just want bigger grid sizes.
  • Rad

    This is an awesome simulator. Some things that would make it even better:
    - it would be really cool to be able to save custom creations
    - the grid becomes invisible when zooming out too far, especially on the larger boards. It would be nice if it were always visible, or even if there was an option to make it visible or not
    - it seems to count every square manually placed as an iteration, which should not be the case
    - it should start out in the center of the board instead of the top left. I always find myself zooming out and finding the center manually so that the walls are less likely to affect the results

    (I am using the app on an iPhone 12 Pro)

    All that said, this is a really nice and charmingly simple app :)

  • Just a couple things need to be added…

    Soooo close.

    But ultimately frustrating to play with for lack of two things:
    1) A reset button. Right before you hit the play button, the app needs to capture a snapshot of the board, and then provide a button that allows you to go back to that snapshot, instead of having to single-step all the way back.
    2) Save function. This is so frustrating. When you find a cool pattern, you want to save it. The app features a “save folder”, but the only thing in it is a handful of pre-loaded patterns. You can’t add to it.

    These simple additions shouldn’t be hard, and would double the enjoyment of this app.

  • amazing

    i've been using it for a bit and noticed a few problems you could fix, 1 you should be able to drag your finger to make the little dots/cells or whatever the squares are called, 2 there should be a infinite board, 3 there might already be a way to do this but go back to generation zero without having to press back arrow tons of times other then that good game

  • Fun

    Neat to play around with and I’m glad someone made this for mobile. Would like an infinite board but prolly wouldnt need it for anything im doing on my phone.
  • Nice

    It works, no bells or whistles just pure Conway for the most part. It has a nice rewind function and everything works perfectly.

    Plus no ads getting crammed in your face that I noticed.
