## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2015-10-20, version 1.2*

At launch in iOS 9 on iPhone 6.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iPhones

*2015-01-20*

I love science and mathematics, so was excited to try this app. But whenever it displays a screen of text the text runs off the screen along with any buttons needed to get past this screen. Tilting the device doesn't work, nor can I pinch zoom out the text to see the buttons. So, I can't get to any of the actions.

**Developer response:** This was due to lack of updates. Many years later I agree the UI was not great. I've just re-released this with a vastly improved UI, better interactivity, a few more demos, and info panels to explain each demo, with plans for more to come. Thank you for your feedback!

### 1/5 — ?

*2014-10-22, version 1.2*

I can't get my screen to rotate and I am very confused because I have screen rotation on but whenever I tilt my device it doesn't work.😟

### 3/5 — Interesting

*2015-08-27*

Good app just didn't work for my iPhone 5c

**Developer response:** This was due to lack of updates to the app, many years later I've completely re-written it from scratch and it should work fine on most phones. I am hearing that one of the demos, Julia, is crashing on some older phones, but the others seem to work fine. I'll be fixing that to provide support for older phones soon. Thank you for the feedback!

### 3/5 — ???

*2014-09-05, version 1.2*

What happens here?😬

### 4/5 — The hard Critic

*2013-02-21*

Neat app, but there just isn't enough to do. If you add more things from chaos theory then this app could be a lot better. :D

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! After time away from this app, I've re-released it with an entire re-write and intend to provide many more demos and interactive features with future updates.

### 4/5 — Beautiful

*2011-02-20, version 1.2*

An amazing collection, although a bit more explanation, and the ability to zoom would be appreciated

### 5/5 — What a clever app

*2025-10-03*

It does what it does very well. I could make and save Julia’s all day

### 5/5 — Simply amazing

*2025-02-01*

This app is wonderful to play with.  We try to get our kids interested in science and this is one of those apps that gets their attention with its beauty and fun, and gets them thinking     about how it all works.  Other particle apps are fun, but this one feels deeper because we get to play with real mathematical objects.  The strange attractors feel almost alive.  We hope there will be an iPad version soon!

### 5/5 — Very bad

*2013-04-13, version 1.2*

It was just like u can't even play it like u just look at it that's it like seriously 😜

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2013-02-10*

Excellent application.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Physics of chaos

*2011-10-28, version 1.2*

Nice little app!

### 5/5 — I have been watching this for hours!

*2010-11-06*

I have taken a non-linear dynamics course before and this app still amazes me. The attractor you see changes with just the slightest tip of your IPod.

### 5/5 — Making physics fun again

*2010-11-01*

This app brings to life the beauty of chaos physics. This is the really cool science you don't get a chance to learn in your 101 classes. Check it out!

### 5/5 — Awesome Graphics

*2010-10-31*

No clue about the math behind this App but the graphics are fantastic to watch.  The Lorenz strange attractor and the astrophysics are fun to experiment with.
