### 3/5 — Can’t get in touch with developers. I’ve tried.

*2023-09-17, version 2.9*

I want to know how (after paying for the app, which I have) to turn off the ‘holiday’ visuals- I don’t want to see the Halloween and Christmas visuals, I find they bring they right out of my trance- how do I turn them off please?

Thank you

### 4/5 — 1000milstare

*2023-04-13*

A split screen option for VR viewing would be an excellent added feature.

### 3/5 — Some nice features but somewhat limited

*2021-12-18*

It’s worth about what I paid for it- the motion is realistic, but I note that only one ‘slice’ of the mirror is clear and the rest seem to be slightly out of focus on the edges (just like a real kaleidoscope) but who wants complete realism in a visualisation app? 

Also, it is annoying that the designs transition with a white-out rather than smoothly from one into another, and they need to be able to move without auto-rotating. Spinning the design is a nice option sometimes, but shouldn’t be forced.

Another thing- you need to have more than one color for the background- light blue makes the mirror ‘slices’ too visible, there need to be changeable background colors, including dark- this app needs to have a lot more controllable parameters, and the designs are nice, but limited.  Not that many to choose from. After a while you start to see the same patterns repeating.

The ability to zoom in or out of a design would also be nice, with a ‘pinch-zoom’ gesture.

One more thing- add the ability to use a photo from the library as a base for a kaleidoscope design- now that would really be something!

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2013-03-27*

This was a exceptionally beautiful app. Then came your updated and now it crashes upon opening it. Fix that and this is a 5 star app for sure.

### 1/5 — I don't like!

*2012-10-18*

It's really frustrating when you think, your getting an app, for a certain price & there are more "hidden" fees..... Just call it Light, don't make an app with hidden fees

### 1/5 — Wasteful

*2012-09-30*

If you want to change settings, you have to pay for the additional options. Which is a bunch of crap since the ap itself isn't free.

### 1/5 — Another scam application

*2012-08-25*

Requires in-app additional purchases. Save your money and go buy yourself a used stick of chewing gum, you'll be a happier person for it.

### 1/5 — Black, blank screen

*2012-08-03, version 2.4*

rip off for a duff app  - How do I get refund when app support a dead link ? Apple??????

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2012-06-05, version 2.4*

I'd love to be able to review this app, but so far I haven't been able to load it. Tries to load for ten or fifteen seconds, sometimes even gets as far as some instructive text, but always crashes.

### 4/5 — Really beautiful app

*2012-05-03*

I am having problems getting the app to work. It crashes on the 1st 3 tries. Finally it works & is very relaxing. Please fix the crash problem.

### 2/5 — Seems bug-ridden when using AirPlay

*2012-04-10, version 2.3.1*

I couldn't get it to use anything other than the retina iPad's inbuilt speaker, which is rubbish. Search for an iOS iTunes visualiser continues ….

### 2/5 — Neat retro app

*2012-04-10, version 2.3.1*

It's not really a music visualizer since it is so busy in appearance that the music is just the background to it. But it is a neat retro app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work

*2020-05-11*

Paid $2.99 up front, still asking me to pay more for pro. No music, most buttons don’t respond. Shoddy.

### 1/5 — Needs Updates !

*2019-10-27, version 2.8*

Ok ... but needs updating .... get very boring !

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with Spotify.

*2019-01-08, version 2.8*

Delete.

### 1/5 — Too many flashing lights

*2017-12-27, version 2.8*

All the flashing lights prove very disturbing.This could easily be a five star app without them.

### 1/5 — Wasted my money... Avoid, even if free.

*2015-06-26, version 2.7*

Works through mic it appears.... Pattern seems to have little to do with music being played. Not at all similar to same functionality on iTunes on mac. Pity. Wish I could get a refund. Wish someone else had reviewed first .

### 1/5 — AirPlay does not work

*2015-01-28, version 2.7*

AirPlay does not work as claimed!

### 1/5 — It is FAKE!!!!!

*2014-01-13, version 2.7*

They lie in the app description and screenshots. No airplay!

### 1/5 — C'mon guys ...

*2012-12-09, version 2.6*

Can't give this any stars, coz it keeps crashing on startup.  Looks like it could be a 5* rater if they can get the startup problem fixed. Kerarm.

### 1/5 — It was awesome at first...

*2012-11-20*

...Now it just doesn't work. :-(

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2012-10-21*

Thanks for the new update team, you rendered the app unusable, crashes as soon as you open it. The sound you hear is the delete app button !!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-07-26, version 2.9*

Prettiest visualiser on the App Store! Hope it never goes away! 😍

### 5/5 — best music visualizer i have found yet

*2021-05-20*

it actually reacts to the beat of ambient music, unlike some of these other supposed ‘music visualizers. mesmerizing....

### 5/5 — FITS MY NEEDS

*2021-04-28*

It does what I need and I like it simple good and I’m going for the pro version thanks

### 5/5 — En désuétude, dommage

*2020-06-12*

Des effets sublimes, mais plus de mise à jour.
C'est vraiment dommage, cette application ne manque que d'un vrai plein écran, parce qu'au niveau des effets et des enchaînements, il n'y a pas d'équivalent sur l'AppStore.

### 5/5 — old school app

*2019-12-10*

enjoyable

### 5/5 — AWESOME!

*2018-08-25*

This Kaleidoscope is awesome! And being able to add any of your music to play and watch it is legit cool. Definitely worth all the time I looked in the App Store for a music visualizer!

### 5/5 — Beautiful and Relaxing

*2016-06-27, version 2.7*

The best app ever. I use it everyday, mainly when working on the desk. It's very relaxing and extremely helpful whenever work gets stressful. Hope they will restart the development again, would love to see more designs and updates. Thanks guys!

### 5/5 — Great fun in a restaurant!

*2012-06-04*

I'm giving you guys five stars even though it crashes on my first-generation iPad. But it works great on my iPhone 4S, and it's a barrel of fun. The fact that it is microphone sensitive makes it ideal for setting on the table at a restaurant and watching the kaleidoscope vibrate to the ambient sounds in the room.

I noticed that sometimes the image was full-screen, and other times it was simply a circle in the middle of the phone. Well, I figured out that one of the purchase options under the "mirrors" tab is to expand the mirror functions to be full screen in the same way the basic triangle is. It appears the image cycles through various combinations of mirrors and seed images every several seconds, so having the variety is nice.

As for one of the feature requests I've read in the reviews, NO, don't put the time and battery level banner back on the screen! It's beautiful fullscreen as it is. Geez, charge your battery and wear a watch already.

Here's what I would like to see:

Could you add a camera pass through, so we would see a kaleidoscopic image of what the camera is viewing?

Could you add an option for us to select the "seed" image from our photo gallery?

Could you allow us to create a special playlist for the music option that would remain available to us even after we close and reopen the app?

I noticed when there's a strong beat or loud noise, a bright circle pulses in the image. Could you enhance that by randomizing say, a starburst pattern, random circles or dots, short lines, or other effects?

All in all this is a great release, and I'm looking forward to a bug fix for the original iPad soon. Hope this five star review along with others will encourage you to make this app even better.

### 5/5 — Cool app
