Not quite what I thought it would be

This app is cool but it's not quite what I thought it would be. They have just recorded the videos of a cymatic water device and when u play or sing each note in, the recording video of that note plays. There is no fluid in- between transition between the notes it just switches from one note recording to another. Thought I was gonna have a lot of fun but have to say A little bit disappointed and won't be using this app even though I just paid lots of money for it. I wondered why I had not heard of this app before and after opening it now I know.

Super cool

This truly is a revolution in our understanding of music from the standpoint of vibrational frequency as the translation of everything. That includes of course the perception of image based upon photo-reception. Additionally, water the foundation of life provides the modicum necessary in order to visualize frequency. The discovery of the technology incorporated in this application is perhaps a testament to the deepest understanding of the fibers of reality. In terms of physics credence can be lent to string theory, or that all matter and energy share the common language of constantly vibrating particles. Pandora's Box is open now. May as well see what's inside

Not impressed

There is a microphone icon that made me believe I could sing or play into the app and it would respond to me. When I click the microphone icon it only plays random notes and does not respond to my voice or sound. Not impressed.

Gorgeous patterns, deep results

This is a great way to see that 432 is better and 440. I also love how these designs look like the patterns stars emit. Makes one wonder. Is everything we see a frequency of sound?

Beautiful & Fun

This is a great app for anyone who is interested in cymatic visualizations. I like how you can create images using your own sounds. While there's some consistency in functionality issues, I hope they continue to develop this app - as it is a lovely concept.

Making the invisible, visible.

In a fun and intriguing way this brings to life subtleties of sound and chants. It is particularly impressive if used to show a group patterns created by voices and or instruments. Probably best used for strings of notes and sound that are not too repetitive. Excellent work.

Very excited but now disappointed

I was very excited to download this app but after 5 minutes of use, it stopped functioning.

good for single tones

I should have read deeper into the description before I bought this. I've been waiting for a way to feed in audio and simulate cymatic graphs...thought this would be it. Just know that you can't do that with this app (since they are premade recordings). You also can't play chords. 3 stars because it works well for what it claims (although the microphone option was misleading). I think 9.99 was over priced for an interactive video player. That being said, the app looks cool, it's not glitchy and an interesting tool for visualizing individual tones. I hope this isn't a onetime post app and you will continue to develop this. If you could implement a cymatic generator that would be very useful for using this as a scientific tool. I believe there are some Python scripts available for doing so. Good start, you have a great name as well. If you could generate cymatic structures on the fly from programmed models you would have a revolutionary tool that could be applied to the entire scientific community for visualizing data and patterns. There are many people who would use this technology but the transition from analog to digital is a must.

Great app!

This is an awesome app for anyone who's interested in cymatics! Whether you're a musician, in education, or just want to have fun with sound, you will enjoy using it.

A great start! :)

First off- what an amazing concept and idea!

In future updates, would be great to get proper octaves instead of the current limited range.

Also, just a question, but is the 'source' of vibration also responsible for the cymatic image?

In other words, if I play a middle c on the piano, would that have exactly the same image as me singing that same middle c pitch? What if two different people sang that same note? Would the image look different? How do you know from this app?

Thanks and keep up the great work!
