User reviews

Exactly what it says!

This app is exactly what it says. Just straight to the point with no ads. We need more games like this. I might even donate! If a mobile game is really good with no ads, small amounts of people might donate to keep it like that. Great!

Very nice

Really good performance all things considered, how did you get this to run so well?. Rendering of both Mandelbrot and Julia sets simultaneously is impressive. Colourmaps are excellent and scaled nicely.

Are you using single precision for these? Perturbation to go deeper maybe?

Updates when?

Missing a lot of stuff…

I haven’t used this app for a long time and have instead been using RetinaMandelbrot. Fractally has a lot of stuff missing. First of all, infinite zooming. That is one of the reasons I use RetinaMandelbrot instead. I just love the insane complexity of deep zooms, and I just can’t do that in your app (PS: RetinaMandelbrot also kinda has that same issue, but instead the fractal completely goes black, and weird colored (I guess lag) blocks appear that don’t match the iterations, but all of that happens at about 5.7 x 10 to the power of 85 zoom. Not when you’ve barely even zoomed in. Secondly, infinite iterations. This kind of goes with the infinite zooming thing. You could keep it the same as you currently have the iteration editor. Just don’t have a limit. Or you could make it so it adds more iterations as you zoom in (that is how RetinaMandelbrot handles it’s iterations btw). Finally, custom color palletes. Some of the set palletes you currently have, I don’t like. Plz add custom colors. Or at least let people edit how the iterations look. Like only having the lines for the iterations and not filled in. Plz add these features. It will really improve the app.
