First Review

First review said it best. Play with it for a minute and then delete it.

This is still getting updated?!

I love this app, very fun to mess with the variables!

Response from developer

10 years later even... yep

Good

I like the app. It is very interesting. Graphics could be brighter.

Response from developer

Hope you like the updates!

Terrible

The calculations for some values dont allow for a value of less than one... The shiny swirly galaxy doesn't make up for the fact that the basic function of this app is horribly flawed. If the ITunes store allowed one refund per year this app would be it.

PROVES NOTHING, New or Old

While this app does well what it does, that's where it all ends. Play around with it for a little while, next thing you know, it done and gone, and there's nothing left to do but delete it.

PLUS, it proves absolutely nothing one way or the other. How COULD it?
