## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Best app ever!!

*2009-02-05*

One suggestion is to have image options of fish or birds for the noids

### 1/5 — No point

*2009-01-13*

WTF

### 2/5 — Pointless

*2009-01-13*

This app might be free but it has no use and it is boring as hell

### 3/5 — Meh

*2009-01-15*

An interesting concept for a free app, but I'm glad I paid for Spawn Illuminati.

### 3/5 — interesting

*2009-01-13*

interesting use of gravity but not fun for more than 10 seconds

### 4/5 — FANTASTIC!!

*2009-01-31*

a LOT of uses for this app, and tons of fun! its definitely in my top 10! i waste a lot of time  with this thing.  =p just a few suggestions: make it so a user can drag and drop influences like the cat and apple instead of keeping a finger on the screen. that would make demonstrations a lot more effective. 
Also, more than one flock would be great, as well as attitudes like aggresive or defensive, territorial, etc. so we can observe competition and relationships between flocks. Anyhoo, thanks for this great app!

### 4/5 — Win

*2009-01-13*

This app is a win. Anyone that says it's pointless obviously doesn't understand the concept behind it. It's more about exploring the algorithms and seeing what you can make them do than "having a point." If you want objectives and achievements buy a game, if you just wanna mess around and have fun then get this app.

The gravity is a bit harsh though. Even when it's barely on they never stay off the ground too long. Anywhere over 1/4 and they're not going much of anywhere up.

### 4/5 — Cool

*2009-01-13*

This is a pretty interesting app it is fun especially when your bored,hoping for updates like mabye more types of backgrounds,creatures,reactions and options then I will be a 5 star app no problem and very original.

### 5/5 — Good!

*2009-05-20*

Friggan awesome

### 5/5 — Super nova

*2009-05-06*

This app is simple and fun. Change the settings and mess with your flock. Awesome app. Thanks. Love the little character changes too.

## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very interesting

*2009-03-10*

This app does exactly what it's suppose to do. If you didn't understand the point, then you are (in fact) missing the point. Great job by the programmer and I will be looking forward to your enhancements. Also, one suggestion, could you make the button to change the settings either bigger, or in a better spot. For those of us with big fat fingers, it makes it hard to hit that little sucker :)

### 5/5 — It's ok

*2009-02-19*

It's kinda pointless but entertaining I think that it's a little usless but there has been worse. It amused me I even giggled a bit

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2009-01-25*

Cool. Does exactly what it says.

### 5/5 — Entertaining

*2009-01-13*

Very entertaining, I buy a lot of apps, and this has to be an app store top 5.  Many choices in what you want them to look like and there are some nice backgrounds.  But this is always fun if you need some entertainment.  Very well done 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Awsome

*2009-01-13*

They move like a real group of animals...  Except for 2D...  I got a group to mind the darting movements and schooling of my neons (small schooling fish)
