Gravilocity is built on the critically acclaimed iBeams special effects system, which has been used to make iBeams and iBeams HD.

[HINTS]
    -To make a parameter respond to the microphone press any one of the buttons with a blue arrow on it. A controller window shows up, press mic and the parameter will now respond to the microphone.

Gravilocity was inspired by gravilux, and gravitarium, not to mention all the other particle play apps out there.

*****Totally Awesome.... Running on an iPad this is seriously psychedelic. I have tried every other visualiser on the iPad and apart from it's bigger brother I-beams this eats them all for breakfast. I have said it before but the author of this software is a real genius. - AAWh
*****One of the best of it's type
*****Its the best particle manipulator I've messed with. Really cool job

Created by Gedalia Pasternak, a Computer Graphics Engineer whose work has been seen in television commercials, video games, and the occasional military training system. As well as in the hands of bored teenagers at art museums.

### 5/5 — THE BEST APP, BAR NONE

*2025-06-25, version 3.4.3*

I started this review in 2019 or something and never submitted it I guess - 10 years later… STILL MY FAVORITE APP

### 1/5 — Where are the settings?!?!?

*2024-03-26, version 3.4.3*

Feel like I am in the twilight zone. Just downloaded this app, and can not figure out how to access all the controls? It just open full screen.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work on an iPad Air 4

*2023-03-13, version 3.4.3*

Absolutely nothing works - a screen appears but is completely unresponsive to any touch or gestures ?????

Deleted it and re-downloaded and still nothing.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-03-12, version 3.4.3*

I will say that it took a little bit of time and experimenting to figure it all out, but once I did I loved it!!! Tried all the different visualization apps out there. Definitely one of the best. I just have one request. Is it even possible to make an update that doesn’t make the music stop when you connect to Bluetooth?

### 5/5 — Mi piace molto

*2023-03-09, version 3.4.3*

Universo, stelle, matematica e fisica tutte insieme per creare bellissima arte. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Simply Aweeee

*2023-03-08, version 3.4.3*

This is plain fun, mesmerizing, cool and beautiful.  It’s kept up to date by the developer and takes awhile to learn all the features. It’s one of a kind!  Get it.

### 5/5 — At last.

*2023-02-08, version 3.4.2*

Really an excellent app, beautiful, creative, full of surprises. Five stars +!

### 5/5 — THE BEST APP, BAR NONE

*2022-03-18*

I can’t figure out how to upload a video of how amazing this app is - but if I could, it would blow your mind! 

…You’ll just have to imagine it, though… because I can’t.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the positive feedback, app should run again and iBeams too. I do struggle a bit building an easy to use UI, on the other hand so many of the visualizer apps with pretty UIs don’t really work.

### 5/5 — Ty so much!

*2021-08-07, version 3.3*

Favourite app back up and running <3

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2021-08-07, version 3.3*

Amazing app! Thank you so much for the update allowing it to function with the new iOS. I missed this app a lot an am very happy it’s back!
