### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2011-05-08, version 1.2*

I love this! This is by far one of the best, most interesting generative
art apps I've seen. I looks great and its always different. The only idea I can contribute is maybe add a button to start over from scratch. Other than that, its a must have!

### 5/5 — VERY AWESOME

### 5/5 — Crazy beautiful.

*2010-06-12, version 0*

This is so lovely. Very trippy.

### 5/5 — Like a beautiful game of life

*2010-04-23, version 0*

Glorymath is really cool. You can create beautiful automata that ebb and flow like a city. Be sure to take screenshots of what you create for awesome iphone backgrounds.

### 5/5 — Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.

*2010-04-02, version 0*

I love this...these worlds. Whoever made this is awesome. Please make more!

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2010-03-11, version 0*

Innovative, interactive and pleasing to the eye.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2010-03-03, version 0*

I've been hooked on this app ever since I got it.  The colors, patterns, and movement you can create with a few taps is awesome.  Definately worth checking out.

### 5/5 — Generative Art in your Palm

*2010-03-02, version 0*

I honestly spent a bit too much time with this app for my own good. Using multi-touch and shaking, you can create incredibly ornate and fascinating moving images in moments. Glory Math Part 1 is fantastic, and sure to keep your eyes and fingers entranced for hours.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2010-03-02, version 0*

Brilliant software.

### 5/5 — Mesmerizing fun

*2010-03-01, version 0*

This is an addictive little app. A fun and entrancing exploration of color and movement!

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY. YOU CANT GET IT TO WORK.

*2014-01-23, version 1.2*

Opened it up, touched the screen, started doing its thing, that's it. It only goes to a certain point in five seconds then it's stuck. Open it back up,remains the same from where I left it. App needs to be rewritten.

### 1/5 — Neat, but broken

*2012-12-24, version 1.2*

The initial forms generated by the app are pretty cool: shimmery blobs of colorful static that ebb and flow.  Sadly within 30 seconds of first using it, I got stuck with a full screen of static with no apparent way to reset.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?  As it stands the only way I can figure out to reset it is to delete and reinstall, which is pretty lame.

### 2/5 — Limited time before designs become lo-rez static

*2024-07-23, version 1.4*

Portrait only. I started out with pad punches and streaks, which gave me interesting patterns in limited color values. Within a minute they became a screen full of low-resolution static. Which is OK, if you have better options. Maybe I am missing a settings control, but I can’t find it. Adjust colors with a drag bar. Not many choices nor results. Was actually looking forward to an in-app purchase, but no available upgrades. People have been a bit generous with their rating stars (maybe those people should start rating their girlfriends and doctors). Looks like the only way to reset is closing out of the app…once a minute! 😫 If V1 is 5 years old, I give up on V2. [I heard app designs have gotten a bit easier in 5 years; evidently you still need motivation, Mr. Coffeshop.]

### 2/5 — ?

*2011-11-08, version 1.2*

I really want to like this app. However, I keep getting a fuzzy screen that I can't reset. Fix this and it'll be amazing.

### 3/5 — cool, but..

*2014-09-17, version 1.3*

how come the screen caps just make a solid black image?

### 3/5 — Meta stable state fries program

*2013-05-17, version 1.2*

Some promising forms come out of the program but it keeps falling into a pattern you can't get it out of...a kind of tv-snow. The math/algo needs to be redesigned and the shake reset needs to be more reliable to escape constant rebooting.
Some advice: 
A) Don't touch it a lot...each tap adds a spreading circle of noise, so add a point and observe a couple minutes;
B) If you get 'snow' WAIT...it is slow but it will 'figure itself out' -- taps will only compound the problem and the shake reset is sluggish with really random screens. (This part of algo is needing most attention from dev)
C) Observe whole cycle from shaken screen reset to empty again...this will take several minutes but you will learn to intuit the patterns and you will know when to touch and when to just watch!

### 3/5 — Like, but...

*2011-03-21, version 1.2*

I, too, get the "blue and white" crash screen... All seems well... Happy colors and shapes... Then all goes to "snow"...sad... I know it would be a serious time vampire if if were not for that problem!... So, thank you?
;)

### 3/5 — Cool , but....

*2011-01-08, version 1.2*

Cool app, but i allways get to a blue/white screen i can not progress from until i turn off the ipod then turn it back on and runn the app, kind of annoying.

### 4/5 — fun visuals

*2015-04-17, version 1.3*

i wish I could record a performance!!

### 4/5 — missing one feature

*2011-10-31, version 1.2*

this needs an in-app reset feature. once the entire screen is 'alive', you cant destroy anything, or reset the simulation.

effing awesome, however.
