### 4/5 — Disable gyroscope?

*2026-07-16, version 2.1.0*

Hi, as a big fan of bryce, KPT, etc, back in the day, I’m inclined to love this.  But I can’t show anyone else what I’m doing with it because the tilt controls go crazy (and no, pausing is not a solution).  Is there really no way to disable the gyroscope feature?  I get the idea, but it has to be optional!

### 2/5 — I don’t like this, my opinion.

*2025-06-24, version 2.0.8*

I’d say that Mandelbrowser is way better than this. It uses custom formulas, video exporting, variables, deep zoom, etc. And it is only for Android… and also this annoying steering… how can you make videos that way?

### 2/5 — Nervt

*2024-11-16, version 2.0.8*

Sehr nerviges Tutorial am Anfang. Man kann garnicht weit reinzoomen … das ist doch das wichtigste

### 5/5 — Fantastica

*2024-09-22, version 2.0.7*

Frattali da paura 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Gayette olmuş

*2024-09-02, version 2.0.7*

Bence güzel fobiniz varsa 1 yıldız verip de uygulamayı kötülemenize gerek yok. Dediğimi yapan o akıllıyı yorumların sonunda göreceksiniz ona cevap veriyorum geometri ile alakalı bişey bu normal

### 5/5 — A beautifully crafted fractal experience

*2024-08-07, version 2.0.7*

I’ve had this app for a while, Pro version add-on included by I hadn’t really dived into all the features the app has to offer until recently and now that I have I’m very thankful for all the effort that has gone into features and gestures to guide you into having fun exploring the Mandelbrot and Julia sets, and tweaking what you see for even more interesting results. The Shapes tab has been something I’ve enjoyed a lot as well and it, along with all the help pages on the info section sold me on the sentiment of the app to show you the beauty these mathematical shapes have to offer. Maybe I’m also biased by the happy face emoticons in there too.

The continues updates throughout the years is also something that I wished to commend, and also one of my main motivations to go beyond just saying ‘Cool app 5/5’.

All in all, thank you.

### 5/5 — Sehr schön umgesetzt

*2024-07-02, version 2.0.7*

Ich finde das Programm ganz prima. Vielleicht könnte man noch eine Möglichkeit schaffen, die mathematischen Formeln selber einzugeben bzw. bestehende zu verändern?!

### 5/5 — The stuff

*2024-06-22, version 2.0.6*

I can see myself quitting work and leaving my family for this. Just this and Aphex Twin playing. All you need.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2024-02-19, version 2.0.6*

Feature request: Allow the user to choose to disable phone screen dimming and just be always on

### 5/5 — Fantastic app, creating awesome results

*2024-02-11, version 2.0.6*

Easy to use and with a lot of parameters to play with in its pro version. Awesome and varied results. The possibility to move and zoom dynamically on a fractale is incredible.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2024-01-10, version 2.0.6*

It’s so strange, yet so beautiful. It makes me appreciate math in a different way. I like it when math is represented via art.

### 5/5 — Absolutely indescribably awesomely epically great game

*2023-12-31, version 2.0.6*

Absolutely love this view other and make your own fractal patterns!

### 5/5 — 生成AIの下絵としての可能性

*2023-12-31, version 2.0.6*

・画面録画モードで操作画面を映さずに録画したい
・オートメーション機能や多重録画のような機能があれば、より複雑で刺激的なアプローチができる
・ランダム機能が素晴らしいのでバックステップできたら最高（だが優先順位は低い）
・シームレスに他のプリセットに移行できたら美しい映像がとれる

これからも応援しています！素晴らしいアプリをありがとうございます！

### 3/5 — Video recording keeps crashing app

*2023-12-29, version 2.0.6*

Every time I press record video the app crashes

### 5/5 — Capolavoro

*2023-12-15, version 2.0.6*

Bellissima app

### 5/5 — Please unlock infinity zoom !

*2023-11-21, version 2.0.6*

Please unlock infinity zoom !

### 5/5 — Seit einigen Jahren im Unterricht verwendet

*2023-10-19, version 2.0.6*

Mit Beamer und der passenden Musik von Jean-Michel Jarre oder Vangelis entstehen unglaubliche meditative Reisen ins Innerste des Seins. Meine Schüler:innen von der 1. bis zur 9. sind jedesmal äußerst beeindruckt, wenn ich die Fraxe auf dem Ipad per Gestensteuerung verwandle.
Allen Lehrer:innen für die Konzentrationsphase am Stundenbeginn zu empfehlen. Selbstverständlich die Pro-Version.

### 2/5 — An amazing app with one MAJOR flaw

*2023-08-31, version 2.0.6*

There’s no question this app is incredible. It is insanely easy to use, endless possibilities, and just super cool all around. HOWEVER - if you want to post the recorded videos on other platforms (socials, youtube, etc.) the video will be super pixelated and blurry. I believe this is due to the recordings just being a screen recording rather than actual data recording, so while the program itself may be reflecting the 60fps 1080p, your video won’t be since screen recording doesn’t capture each individual pixel. This was my primary desire of what to use this app for, unfortunately without a high quality recording it goes from incredible to absolutely worthless for this purpose. I love the app, but unless the developers fix this monumental issue I probably won’t ever use it again

### 4/5 — Good but

*2023-08-27, version 2.0.6*

I cant infinitely zoom :(

### 5/5 — Record

*2023-07-09, version 2.0.6*

Can you still record?

### 1/5 — cool app but

*2023-03-07, version 2.0.5*

the into is so stressful and tedious, i was excited to try the app but had all those unnecessary instructions keep popping up…made me immediately uninterested and i exited the app lmao… good try i guess

### 1/5 — I have to purchase again?

*2021-09-17, version 2.0*

Updated the app and was expected to pay another $4.99 after paying $9.99 for it initially when I downloaded it. Now it shows no record of my previous purchase. Disappointing. This app can now go in the trash as far as I’m concerned.

### 1/5 — Arty Farty

*2021-05-01, version 2.0*

This app is a deliberate scam!
When ever you buy render credits Apple Pay take the money, but nothing shows in Frax.

Also Frax has never replied to any emails from myself or Apple.

### 1/5 — Great app, but photo integration doesn’t work

*2021-04-19, version 2.0*

Very cool app, but photo integration doesn’t work, which was the entire reason I bought it. I want to create custom visualizations for my music and it’s not working how I’d hoped. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Olmamış...

*2021-03-12, version 2.0*

İlk başta beğenmiştim özelliklerini kurcalıyordum ve sonra ekran uzaklaştığı zaman elim ayağım titredi. Böyle şeylere fobim olduğunu öğrendim. Eğer fobiniz varsa indirmeyin bai❤️

### 1/5 — Very limited

*2021-02-08, version 2.0*

Trashapp you cant even infinitely zoom

### 1/5 — Wie die bereits bezahlte Pro Version freischalten?

*2021-01-10, version 2.0*

Hatte die nicht-universal App gekauft. Leider lässt sich der Kauf auf der universal App nicht übertragen.

### 1/5 — Auf‘s falsche Pferd gesetzt?

*2020-07-24, version 2.0*

Habe die Frax Hd und auch pro gekauft und nun erhalte ich die Info in der App, dass ich auf die universelle App umsteigen soll, alle Einstellungen blieben erhalten. Also nur die Einstellungen und nicht die Käufe? Das ist schade!

### 1/5 — Let's start by saying this WAS an amazing app...

*2020-05-25, version 2.0*

But I've already paid full price for the pro version of both ipad and the iphone apps... And I feel pretty cheated right about now with the release  of a single app. Hell, I've only had them both about  a month now... Not very happy about this at all.

##UPDATE##
After having the chance to fully look into the new version, on my ipad pro, I can honestly say that I'm furious. You've reduced the maximum resolution by HALF, and I can't for the life of me see how you thought a bunch of amorphous blobs of color  were going to replace crisp, clear, well-defined fractals without anyone noticing. It's painfully  obvious that the quality is squarely half of that in the version you're replacing. At this point, I wish I had not checked the app out this morning, because I felt far less taken advantage of before when there was only the fact that I paid twice for what was now going to be one product. Now, I'm seeing that not only did I get ripped off, but taken for a ride as well, with you not only delivering less in quantity but also tremendously less in quality. This was a poorly considered  decision on your part and one that in the end benefits only you, to the detriment of your once happy customers, who are now just highly offended at best. A refund and  heartfelt apology are most definitely in order, and would be at the very least, a promising start towards correcting this blunder. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😒

### 1/5 — 1 звезда

*2020-04-21, version 1.5.2*

1. Какой смысл делать приложение платным, если внутри приложение есть «про версия» за которую тоже нужно платить. 
2. Глючит
3. Страшно неудобный интерфейс

### 5/5 — Beautiful and mesmerising - Cosmic Vertigo

*2026-08-10, version 2.1.0*

Like floating in a Goddess’ daydream. An open eyed mathematical meditation. How long can you handle staring at infinity?

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-03-11, version 2.0.8*

Mind blowing…. No more words to say. And it’s not on a subscription basis- just a few buck for lifetime!!!

### 5/5 — Perfect for exploring the Mandelbrot set

*2026-03-09, version 2.0.8*

Had this app for years, figure i should review it lol

One Word - Wow !!

### 5/5 — 🙏🏻

*2025-05-10, version 2.0.8*

Hello there! I used to buy Frax HD. There is no update for it right now. I really like this program. But I do not restore the purchase when I download this version of the app. What to do?

Guys optimize the application so that it can be run on Mac OS I really miss the application

### 5/5 — Amo esta aplicación

*2025-04-13, version 2.0.8*

Realmente ha sido un despertar visual encontrar esta aplicación, me encanta su coneccion con la naturaleza y el arte de la matemática

### 5/5 — Cannot purchase credits - link broken

*2025-03-07, version 2.0.8*

Amazing app and hours of fun, but I really need the high-res images. I try to click the button to buy more credits on iPad Pro M2 and nothing happens. A little loading icon appears for a blink of an eye and goes away. Support very fast response, working on fix right away and added credits. Thanks

### 5/5 — Frax

*2024-12-25, version 2.0.8*

This app is awesome sauce

### 5/5 — Noch immer Cool!

*2024-11-09, version 2.0.8*

Diese App weckt Erinnerungen an die 1990er Jahre, KPT ist das Stichwort. Danke dafür!
