### 2/5 — Forgot the decimal powers 1.0625-10, burning ship, mandelbar, perp burning ship, fix the julia power

*2026-05-29, version 3.1*

You forgot about lots of things

### 4/5 — Good!

*2026-05-17*

it’s good… but it is kinda laggy..

### 2/5 — Fractals

*2020-05-30*

### 2/5 — Ouais!

*2017-11-13*

Pas mal en vrai! (Juste les pixels c’est un peu chiant..)

### 4/5 — Très bien

*2017-05-09*

Belle application qui permet d'explorer assez correctement l'ensemble de Mandelbrot.

### 4/5 — Gute App für die Entdeckung des Chaos

*2017-01-20*

Sehr gute und schnelle Einstellung der Parameter!

### 4/5 — Great

*2017-01-04, version 3.0.1*

Only, I can't really edit entries, only delete

### 4/5 — Great fractal control

*2016-08-18*

The most interactive fractal app I've used. The varsity is amazing. Hopefully there will be more color options in the future.

### 4/5 — Amazing but could use minor improvements

*2015-09-09*

This is an awesome app but could use more color options, better graphics quality, and the ability to save images without the menu on top (maybe just like a watermark or something).

### 4/5 — Fun

*2015-03-18*

Very fun app for creating fractals pictures on iPhone.

### 5/5 — Great way to explore fractals!

*2014-10-08*

This looks and works beautifully on iPhone 6.

### 5/5 — Fractals totally worth it for schools

*2014-08-22, version 2.0*

Awesome app, and an excellent way for secondary teachers to inspire and motivate students to explore and understand post-calculus topics!!!

### 2/5 — Waste

*2013-05-25, version 2.0*

Extremely limited for the 2.99 price tag. Would be great if they let us put in our own equations.

### 4/5 — Lots of options

*2012-07-05*

Easy to change the settings and see what havoc you can wreak in the world of chaos. Slow in comparison to a free frac app I tried, but that had fewer options for colour, setting Julia constants, formulas etc.

### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER

*2025-11-15*

Every time I try to open the app, it crashes in the start of animation right when I go on it

### 1/5 — Very little control

*2022-12-27*

As an artist, I was hoping for more options. There is no way to change out the black to any other color than black, and the rest of the colors only offer a slider and not color numbers that you can assign. Also no way to increase or decrease the number of colors. Not worth the money.

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2020-11-22, version 3.1*

Hola, la app no funciona en mi teléfono, intento abrirla y nisiquiera se puede abrir. Tengo un iPhone 7 Plus. Quiero que me ayuden a arreglarla o que me devuelvan mi dinero si no me pueden ayudar.

### 1/5 — Now crashes

*2020-05-16*

App now crashes on opening on iPhone 7+...

### 1/5 — No Movement

*2017-03-12*

Just pics no fractal generation or movement.

### 1/5 — Fractals not worth it for schools

*2012-05-01*

Attention educators,

This app is one that I would not recommend for schools. After an examination of the entire app I do not think that buying this app is a necessary thing to do for schools. The app does not offer the students to much options becuase it soley focuses on creating images and manipulating fractal equations. This is not a teaching device because there is no way to determine if a student has done a task correctly and the students are not given feedback by the app itself. The students can explore their images and save them into an album, but that is the only evidence the app can provide of student work. Computers can do all the tasks this app does and I think that the money it would take to but this app would not be worth. Hope this helps you all when you are deciding whether or not to buy this.

### 1/5 — Not retina

*2012-04-11, version 2.0*

This app is NOT retina ready. Looks like crap on the new ipad

### 1/5 — Poucas funções

*2011-12-17*

O software contem apenas dois tipos de fractais, curvas de Mandelbrot e conjuntos de Julia. Desapontante. Nao vale o que estão pedindo por ele. De graça duraria 5 minutos no iPad.

### 1/5 — Kind of boring

*2011-08-12, version 2.0*

I love fractals but this app doesn't have much. I feel that I wasted $2.99.   After 5 minutes of using the app I found it very limiting and boring. It will be deleted

### 1/5 — Dra tale

*2011-06-28*

Decepcionante e pobre para quem já viu outras imagens magnificas de fractais.

*2024-03-06*

What can I say?

Everything!
Look around you!

### 5/5 — Horrible icon!

*2018-01-13*

Why does the Fractal app that makes the most beautiful images have to have the most hideous Icon??? It ruins any page on my iPhone! Please make a new one that’s not hot pink and yellow!

### 5/5 — Fractal Love

*2017-10-24*

The levels of tiny this app can reach makes me happy. I'm by no means mathematically inclined, but seeing the iterations this way helps me to understand what I've been reading about a little better. I like having the ability to choose my colors. The zoom feature allows for a fair amount of delving into the details.

### 5/5 — 面白い

*2017-03-16*

数値いじったらなんか面白い模様ができてズームしてもズームしてもズームできて、ぼーっと眺めてます。
気に入ったところでカメラロールに保存して、絵の背景とかにつかってます。
個人的には大満足のアプリです。

### 5/5 — Great, a few quirks though.

*2016-11-15*

As to be expected, the further you zoom into the Mandelbrot, the longer it's going to take to render. That's my only quirk, other than that, this app is spot on.

### 5/5 — Awsome!

*2016-10-17*

This is a Beautiful app that is so amazing to explore! Definitely recommend it. Not many problems, but there is if you zoom in too much it stops working but that's okay

### 5/5 — ✨

*2015-03-18*

Прекрасное приложение💎
Только вот как вбивать свои данные? :С

### 5/5 — Fractals

*2015-03-13*

Shear aesthetic power opens a new art venue
and opportunity to surpass all previous styles
of ornamentation.  The revelation of self-
similarity across orders of magnitude is
wonderfully illustrated here: the possibility
of incorporating non-fractal elements remains
an exciting potential giving a new perspective
on perspective.

### 5/5 — Exciting, beautiful, meditative

*2014-12-30*

I am a color junkie. I am a math junkie. I am a pattern junkie. This app is perfection for me. The graphics are wonderful and the pattern flows are beautifully done. I could. and often do, veg out on this when I'm problem-solving. Seems to trigger all the right neurons.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2014-12-05, version 3.0.1*

Fast and beautyful pictures
