### 1/5 — Pixelated, poor interface ruins everything.

*2023-09-11*

It looks like 2002 in the app, which honestly it pains me to think that people don’t mind this and willingly pay for such poor quality design and execution. 

This needs to be updated desperately. Unless you have an iPhone 4 hanging about somewhere. Or a compaq.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time or money

*2019-03-06, version 2.1*

An inability to export the animations as video is all the reason you need not to download this app.   It’s an overpriced toy, not a useable generative art tool.  The developers claim it would take too much processing power to add export functionality but I just don’t believe them when I have other much more complex generative apps that have no problem exporting the animations. I wish I could get my money back. I would spend it on something that’s actually useful.

### 5/5 — Enjoy the variety of shapes & modes & more!

*2016-05-19, version 2.1*

OI love this very creative app!

### 5/5 — Very Cool & Entertaining

*2016-05-13, version 2.1*

This app is very cool to mess around with. You play with so many choices of objects and shapes that swirl and move in fun, unique ways. 

I gotta say this app is very colorful and entertaining. For me it is fun to just play music and have fun with this app. I'm sure there's a way for you to enjoy this app. 10 out of 10.

### 5/5 — Tip top

### 5/5 — Amazing

Beautiful colors and it's a good way to take your mind off of stress

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2014-04-04, version 1.3*

I have about 10 different visual touch apps, and this one beats them all. Great job.

### 4/5 — Relaxing

*2013-09-06, version 1.3*

I don't really like going out of my way to write reviews, but I love this app!  I put music on, and just create.  I love to to just relax and play around on the screen.  Granted, there isn't much more than just playing, and it being done, but it's just really enjoyable.  If you like your creation, QUICKLY try to capture a photo.

### 5/5 — Ayuda
