What's New in Ions 2+

1.2

February 11, 2018

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. And now a big update, years in the making! • Emitters have more controls: Radius, Twist, and Randomness. ⁃ Emitters can now emit within a specified radius to spread out your ions. You can also control the twist and randomness of their initial directions. Tap the dueling arrows on the bottom left of an emitters’ controls to see the new ones. • Use colors from background images. ⁃ You can now have your ions take their colors from the background image. They can either sample the color once at birth, or continuously over their lives. That’s right. You can now paint with Ions2+. • Background images. ⁃ You can load any image from your pictures library to use as a background image. You can then resize and place it within Ions2+ to put it right where you want it. • Transparency. ⁃ There is now a separate curve to control the transparency (aka “alpha”) of your ions. Have them fade out, flash, or simply layer beautifully on top of each other. • New layouts: ⁃ Echoes, Dust, Twirl, Watercolor, Corners, Sun, Eye. Hairbrush, Galaxy, Bursts. Stars. Chips, and Chase. • More ions. ⁃ Devices are fast these days, so why not allow 200,000 ions at once? Why not, indeed.

Thinking outside of the box!!!

This app is excellent for creating particle VFX right on your iPad. It’s virtually limitless. It lets you take screenshots, but if you want video of your creations you have to record your screen. It’s too bad the developer stopped updating on this amazing software. I’d love to see where this could go as far as a pro tool for iPad VFX creation. It’s far more than entertaining.
