Are you young whippersnappers you ain’t done nothing now as a kid we had these things called hockey sex hockey sack game it was a sport but we didn’t play against each other. We played together in a circle with a little beanbag ball and we check around trying to do tricks it was called hockey sack except with an a see you young whippersnapper just don’t even know the one I’m talking about who is a cooperative sport maybe kind of like skateboarding I don’t skateboard yet so I was thinking something the same would be done with Fraksl with Fraksl Fraksl likr multiplayer online art game really so much be a game. I think games usually means there’s a winner or loser right be like a cooperative Art I think we did call hockey sick. Call them games and play a game. that’s what we used to do the recess in high school back in the late 80s and 90s stand around a circle and kick this little beanbag ball around to each other and in the bedroom better people where they were trying to do tricks like bounce the ball on the foot on their head. And the to get the ball hacked by everybody in the circle, then we won if everybody got to kick it before I hit the ground then then we won. I was just thinking the next version of Fraksl would be something like analogous to that. Except it would be a ball it’ll be getting past back-and-forth but the but the artwork the fractal happy holidays merry Christmas happy Kwanzaa happy Ramadan happy Hanukkah TBD. Is there a Hindu equivalent of Christmas?

### 3/5 — Recording feature needs an update

*2024-11-01, version 2.4.5*

Amazing app! I’d give it 5 stars but whenever I try to record the video comes out about 50% slower even when I put the resolution at its lowest. Please fix the recording feature!

### 5/5 — Trippiest app I’ve ever used

*2024-10-20, version 2.4.5*

Super super good when I’m baked out of my mind

### 5/5 — The best fractal app out there!

*2024-10-20, version 2.4.5*

Endless psychedelic beauty

### 5/5 — Whats up

*2024-10-03, version 2.4.5*

I am not sure what happened

### 5/5 — love it. for years!

*2024-10-01, version 2.4.5*

Its a must have and must install app on all devices that can run it. 

It would be awesome to have a MacOs Version, that supports the trackpads multitouch. That would be incredibly useful! 

The iOs Version runs on the Mac, but no Multitouch unfortunately. 

So why not a "bigger" MacOs Version with Multitouch. 

Also a custom mirror editor would be wonderful!!!

### 5/5 — great app

### 5/5 — Best app on my phone

*2024-03-15*

Come on it’s so simple it’s perfect, people of all ages can enjoy it. Sad I can’t restore my inapp purchases and they keep resting, but honestly I don’t mind sending the developer some coffee money every once in a blue moon

### 1/5 — Yellow void

*2025-07-08, version 2.4.5*

Not that great kept getting lost in the yellow void. Would not recommend getting lost in the yellow void. Yellow void

### 1/5 — Why does this app exist?

*2024-07-01, version 2.4.2*

This is the stupidest app I’ve ever downloaded.

### 1/5 — Entire app is paywalled

*2023-04-30, version 2.4.2*

Not sure where these reviews are coming from: the free version provides you ONE either colored or monochrome interactable image that you can zoom in one for a kaleidoscope effect, but no ability to change or alter it from there. Everything else is behind the paywall. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Cache problem

*2021-03-29, version 2.4.1*

This app has a serious cache problem. After a few weeks of use it takes up 20gb of data

### 1/5 — play this game at your own risk

*2020-02-27, version 2.3*

i played this and was into it for a day and i almost threw up in class a couple times and couldn’t focus straight. almost was addicting to play the game and i kept seeing the movements of the swirls on the walls 20 minutes after. that night i had terrible nightmares and sleep paralysis. ply this game at your own risk.

### 1/5 — Amazing app

*2019-09-03, version 2.3*

But after paying to unlock ALL - when you go to save - the logo is still visible ?????!?!???! 

Please give option to remove 

Thank you

### 1/5 — Ripped off

*2019-07-25, version 2.3*

I upgraded on this for what it said would Be 3 dollars and 40 dollars came out of my account

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2019-07-08, version 2.3*

I tried the demo and purchased the ‘Pro’ version solely so that I could export the images as high resolution photos. However, this function does not work on my iPad mini 5! I would have contacted the developer but I cannot find any contact details within the app! I have wasted my money on an app that doesn’t work as advertised.

### 2/5 — Restoring purchase on iPhone from old phone which was android.

*2025-04-28, version 2.4.5*

I had downloaded this app on a different account it was a google account I had paid for the pro version and everything and now that I have my iPhone it won’t allow me to log in using my old account so I’m wondering how do I restore my purchase so I can get the pro version on my iPhone as well? Help me please!

### 2/5 — Please fix this...

*2020-07-31, version 2.4.1*

So I love this app... except this is a fairly simple request... I don’t know how easy it is to implement... but it needs to be done. Why does everything need to be preserved in a rectangle basically? Do you understand what I’m saying? Why does there always (unless you zoom in far enough) need to be blank spaces based on a square or rectangle... why can’t the fractal repeat outside this space??? Having a plain background instead of having the fractal repeat itself instead of blank spaces seems like such a key ingredient to this app... even if it is a setting that can be turned on and off.... but having the random square/rectangular blank zones amongst so so so so so many images that I have created in my pro version really to me seems to nullifying a lot of them. Do you understand what I am saying? Please implement this new feature... because that is how fractals actually work, instead of being contained within a boarder... how about you have the option of making the whole screen a fractal. Please. Please. Please. Thanks

### 5/5 — New Version is 🔥.

*2026-05-22*

I’ve been using Fraksl since 2020, and it’s been cool to use in my vids, but this newest update really makes this app shine! It’s like a brand new app actually. I use this as my base and use a few others to add layers and glitches. It’s almost endless to what you can create with this app now. Super cool!

### 5/5 — i genuinely spend hours on this

*2026-03-20, version 2.4.5*

psych heads ifykyk, this thing is absolutely incredible and i cant praise it enough and the pro mode is beyond worth it

### 5/5 — Testing.

*2025-12-07*

I absolutely love the new version and the options that have been implemented in the new version. Especially the “seeds” option. It’s awesome! I def will be showing my friends which some are designers who do a lot of rendering in the digital world and they are going to absolutely love this app! We were already fans of the original but now this is like the bees knees man! Thank you for the opportunity to be someone who gets to test this first before it even drops. Is it going to be free for all features or are we going to have to pay for all the feature’s it has now?

### 5/5 — Absolutely Awesome!

*2025-12-05, version 2.4.5*

I actually love this app and can highly recommend it to anyone that’s come this far! The most recent update makes it much easier to use and so much more fun! Get ittt :)))

### 5/5 — Just wow

*2025-08-14, version 2.4.5*

Totally mesmerizing, can messs around with it for hours

### 5/5 — Must have

*2025-06-24*

This app is a standard in my design tool box.  I love fractals (as many do) yet the b&w style that is missing from the fractal art arena truly blows my mind.  This hit a much needed spot!

### 5/5 — Horrible

*2025-06-17*

People leaving good reviews are likely scammers. This is horrible. Do not waste your time. Free version gives 2 options and it’s horrible to navigate , the settings menu is terrible, when trying to edit , the exit button has some ridiculous thing blocking the view to even edit. This is horrible. Designs are bad and usability is just bad. Uninstalling

### 5/5 — Someone is going to have a seizure sooner or later

*2025-06-15, version 2.4.5*

We can all agree

### 5/5 — It’s Ok

*2025-05-13, version 2.4.5*

It’s Good But The Camera Is Inverted, Upside Down And Mirrored

### 5/5 — FRASL

*2025-02-22, version 2.4.5*
