Great way to brighten up your mood ### 5/5 — Really Unique and fun *2013-01-01, version 1.5* Could you add the option to record for 30 seconds and save to gallery? ### 5/5 — Nice *2013-01-01, version 1.5* Very pretty. Stunning really. ☑ ### 5/5 — Phenomenal !!!! *2012-11-23, version 1.5* Otherworldly!!! The best app I've ever had. It left me tingling! Thank you!!!! ### 5/5 — You can use g-force *2012-09-15, version 1.5* If you tilt your iphone it does stuff and you can also swing your phone up and down ### 5/5 — Beautiful Visuals! *2012-03-24, version 1.5* Truly one of the best visualizer apps of the app store, this app deserves its rating! Simple, yet stunningly beautiful graphics! You play it like a musical instrument, but instead of music, you are creating epic visuals. Fully responsive to different kinds of movement! If you get bored then you haven't played it long enough ;) Just wish you could control the palette and seed, but maybe in the next version. Great Work! ### 5/5 — Fantastic on TV with Pandora *2012-03-21, version 1.5* I've hooked Alchemist Rose through a converter into an HDMI cable into a flat screen TV. I then play Pandora of my choice and AR on the TV at the same time in two delicious modes: STATIC Lay my iPhone flat and let them play. Very calming. ACTIVE manipulate the iPhone to the breaks and beat. Exciting, engrossing. Fantastic app!!! ### 5/5 — Alchemist Rose is the BEST app ever *2012-03-20, version 1.5* It has the best patterns & no boring adds but what I'm trying to say is it is AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — OMG! Fun for HOURS! *2012-01-01, version 1.4* I LOVE whoever made this app! So many fantastic visualizations! My friends and I have been occupying our last few hours with this! :) ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2011-12-31, version 1.4* I never write reviews, but with this app, I new I had to. It is very hard to put down. I greatly recommend it. ### 5/5 — AWSOME *2011-12-31, version 1.4* This is addicting and created beautiful wallpapers for my iphone!! ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2011-11-25, version 1.4* Great app, incredibly absorbing, hard to put down once you start playing with it. Great for parties or just a fun distraction. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No *2020-07-12, version 1.6* As bad as most in the store. ### 1/5 — Nice--for five minutes. *2011-09-26, version 1.2* Interesting display with touch-screen response, but crashed after 5 minutes on my iPhone 4 and wouldn't work at all after that. ### 2/5 — Video out doesn't work *2012-01-08, version 1.4* Video out is just a gray screen on my ipod. ### 2/5 — Great but.. *2011-10-15, version 1.2* Superlative organic visualizer with vga out. Worked perfectly until I upated to ios 5 . Now it crashes on launch. ### 3/5 — A good art but.. *2018-10-09, version 1.6* Not enough settings and you can’t pause it ### 3/5 — Needs controls & update for much value *2018-10-08, version 1.6* It was free today so tried it. Fun idea but it’s more like beta than final. Controls are crude and lack filters. But great idea if refined. ### 3/5 — Silly timewaster *2012-02-14, version 1.5* Kind of a silly little timewaster. It's fun for a short while, but I don't think it's worth $1.99 (as of this writing). I am glad I got it for free one day. ### 3/5 — One Trick Pony *2012-01-05, version 1.4* Bought this assuming I had more control over the visuals. But, input is limited to poking the screen. Given the number of similar apps at 1/3 the price, I'm disappointed in what I got for my money. Beautiful but grows old quickly. ### 4/5 — Wow *2021-09-14, version 1.6* I love this app i put on some psyabient music and place it in the cradle snd go for a drive ! Its amazing how the turns and starts and stopps change the art. Wish there was something like this fir the android and my PC. So friggin cool. Give it a 5 star if i could record and save. Also I can’t get it to play on my projector or stream to the tv? Why is that? I love this app but it’s not cooperating ### 4/5 — Crazy! *2013-04-20, version 1.5* In a good way :) it is difficult to take my eyes off it. However, it'd be better if the colours are nicer.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautiful & Calming *2019-10-09, version 1.6* This app is absolutely mesmerizing! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2019-07-03, version 1.6* for a dreamlike meditative intuitive goof-off so relaxed and yet thrilling. What music might look like. ### 5/5 — Wow *2019-02-13, version 1.6* Incredible, dreamlike visuals. The more you handle it, the more intriguing it is. The mezmerizing images are an assault on the eyes. So relaxing. ### 5/5 — Oh yeah *2018-10-08, version 1.6* Great way to pass the time. If only I would have had this back in my 20s when I dabbled a little with LSD. Imagine being on a acid trip looking at those beautiful colors twirling around. ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-11-07, version 1.6* Finally updated for 64-bit compatibility. A wonderful app, loved by adults and children. Calms my ADD nephew like nothing else. Fascinates my granddaughters (5 & 1). The iPhone 6s' pressure sensitivity offers new control possibilities. It'll be interesting to see what Mark does with that. Family sharing between iPhone and iPad does not appear to work. ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2013-12-22, version 1.5* Very pretty visuals. I searched and got to this app by searching "sacred geometry". I just found out that it will play on your HDTV if u have the proper stuff, so that is a plus. I feel it should be one price for iPhone and iPad but I paid for them separately cuz I liked it so much. The app plays like the pictures except everything is always panning in and out and morphing from various n vivid color to colors ### 5/5 — WOW! *2013-04-27, version 1.5* Incredible! ### 5/5 — It's Acid time! *2013-02-20, version 1.5* Drop some acid and take a time. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-01-08, version 1.5* Best app I have got in a while its great to get high with. ### 5/5 — Great *2013-01-02, version 1.5* Love this! Thank you! Stunning visual effects that are very interactive. Well worth the download. Bravo! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
