Lots of options to explore to be creative with it’s effects. Like being able to play and interact with a particle effect screensaver. Mesmerizing, calming and enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Two stars *2025-07-17, version 1.5.3* How do you even mix the colors, bro? ### 5/5 — Worth the price but I want you to fix these and or this.. *2025-06-02, version 1.5.3* So when enabling glow and shadow and or other effects such as scattering. Once I enable highlight edges and details when using source and sink the glow disappears when I sink the fluid and particles please fix this thx :3 ### 5/5 — Fidget Wonderland! *2025-05-20, version 1.5.1* This is a great app for fidgeters. I purchased the pay version for more options and my grandkids love to play with it when we adults need to keep them busy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — One time purchase-not *2025-09-04, version 1.5.3* I thought I could buy the app but now I discover it is a subscription and almost impossible to find out how to discontinue. UPDATE: Yes, this turns out to be false, but I still received a noticed telling me I had subscribed to a monthly service. Be careful. ### 2/5 — iPhone *2020-11-25* I want possible iPhone wallpaper setting **Developer response:** There is currently no way of creating interactive live wallpapers for iOS devices, so I think 1-star rating is not deserved. :) ### 2/5 — Don’t buy *2019-01-12, version 1.0* The free one is the exact same. Don’t waste your money ### 3/5 — No Music? *2023-09-14* I bought the full version because I thought it had background music but it doesnt seem so... is this false advertisement or where can I find this function? ### 3/5 — Frozen *2021-04-13, version 1.3.1* Just downloaded yesterday and was trying it out and starting to really like it and then the screen froze and I couldn’t do anything more. Can’t play with it at all. Soooo, that’s why I gave it 3 stars. Was having fun on it and I don’t know if this freezing is a continual problem. ### 3/5 — Pretty but broken *2019-01-28, version 1.0* I think I would really like and enjoy this app. However, nothing happens when I tap the settings button. This is really frustrating as it means I can’t access the extra features. ### 4/5 — Nice Update, *2026-05-30, version 1.6.0* I love this game even more now why? Let me elaborate, before this game had the import/export preset feature ONLY ON ANDROID, But now that it is on iOS I Am Happy! Now I can import typhoon or cyclone presets 10/10 game you can create different realistic scenarios, definitely recommend!!! ### 4/5 — Good but glitch *2025-12-09, version 1.5.6* So much glitch ### 4/5 — Great app, battery drain *2024-12-21, version 1.5.1* Near-perfect ADHD fidget app. Drains battery pretty quickly. Love it though! ### 4/5 — What a great app! *2024-09-10, version 1.5.0* This app is really fun and definitely worth the $4.99 to access all the presets and settings (and get rid of the ads). So much thought has gone into the experience on this app and how the different “fluids” act on the screen I feel that the developers should be rewarded for that. It IS very difficult to select the menus in the corners and as someone with mobility issues that does make it a bit annoying to use which is why I am only giving this four stars. It’s easily a 5-star app otherwise. My elderly mother was completely unable to select those menus at all when she tried to use the app, so I hope the developers might improve those. Overall really fun and visually appealing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Actually a good app *2026-08-31, version 1.6.0* Since it has a lite version with ads it’s already a good demo, with the connection to another well made fluid app and this one being completely and absolutely customizable for people like me who sometimes want a specific thing or the randomness coming whoever you open the app, always a good suprise while also being customizable in every way and GOD it’s just such a good app. i know i kinda ranted about the same thing but it’s a purchase well spent if you like fluid sims. ### 5/5 — Favourite App Ever *2026-08-19, version 1.6.0* I was pretty sure I would like this app but it honestly blew me away with how many different ways you can change and make presets. However be warned you will waste time like never before. I love this app so much. It is worth every cent and recommend it to everyone! ### 5/5 — Lovely little app *2026-07-17, version 1.6.0* Yup I’ve had this a while and would like to say this is a pleasant piece of eye candy nice to just pick a visual style and play! The updates have led to improvements in effects and the patterns and movements are lovely I would say have a play then if you enjoy the feel and flow bung the dev a couple of quid. It’s good value, cheers fella. Nice bit of code! ### 5/5 — Cozy and mesmerizing *2026-07-17, version 1.6.0* I will draw for hours, so relaxing ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-07-13, version 1.6.0* This is the best app ### 5/5 — Worth it. *2026-06-14, version 1.6.0* It’s really good. I have access to all the different fluids plus the randomize button? *Genius!* I like it. Definitely worth 5 bucks. ### 5/5 — Typhoon *2026-05-22, version 1.5.7* I can make typhoons with this app ### 5/5 — 🩵🩵🩵 *2026-04-20, version 1.5.7* I love it! The second I opened the app it was love at first sight! It is more like a 4.7 bc it doesn't have a lot of filters but still i love it! ### 5/5 — It’s worth it *2026-04-16, version 1.5.7* U get no ads and get to customize everything and save ur stuff ### 5/5 — This game pretty cool *2026-04-12, version 1.5.7* I think this game has a great variety of fluids its great for when you just want something to do and if your a jjk fan like me its great for making a hollow purple definitely worth the purchase and it's pretty cheap in general just a great app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
