FAST and detailed

You can set the detail.

Smooth but limited

Fast fractal is what it claims to be: fast! Itโ€™s fun to play around with but the zoom is quite limited so you canโ€™t really get down to the fun stuff. Also itโ€™s missing auto zoom.
CCompace

Surprisingly Powerful

You can do a lot with this app. Itโ€™s fast and powerful, with a lot of options. Take the time to explore the settings, and youโ€™ll be surprised what all you can do.
