I think it would be super cool to see the particles overlayed on my world! Other then that, great app. Four stars, five if feature added. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-08-11, version 2.1* Nothing Elise really ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-05-31, version 2.1* Good for a distraction. Probably could get the kids learning physics early on. I Start pondering the laws as soon as i open it all of the sudden some things make sense. If I’d had this in school back then. Anyway, instructions are clear n easy to use. Great Job! Suggestion if I may. Ability to pin the touch points and work elsewhere on the screen. Watching the dynamics without the fat thumbs in the way would be cool. Also if I could place n pin multiple gravity wells the rotations on screen would get pretty wild. Again, way cool. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-05-24, version 2.1* This is immense on Apple TV and on an OLED TV. Mind glowingly cool! Just wish it would get updated for iPhone X style designs. ### 5/5 — Still fun *2018-12-06, version 2.1* 3yrs later and it's still a time passer when you wait. ### 5/5 — Really therapeutic *2018-09-13, version 2.1* A really beautiful and well built particle manipulator app. Incredible on a full size tv. ### 5/5 — Simple and Clean *2017-09-18, version 2.1* I love how simple it is to play with this app and how much fun I have seeing what happens as I adjust the settings. Thank You ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2017-06-24, version 2.1* Perfect particle and gravity simulation. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Peng ting *2017-03-12, version 2.1* This ting is proper peng blud u need this on ur screen fam ### 4/5 — Great but missing the features that'd put it over the top *2016-11-23, version 2.1* I really enjoy this game. It's fun to play with the gravity and the colors can be explosive like fireworks or very soothing. It's missing a few features that'd put it over the top: * negative gravity (would be awesome if one finger could do negative and one could do normal!) * Video screencast (my fingers get in the way of some of the cooler gravity effects) If they added these features I'd gladly upgrade to the paid version! ### 5/5 — Best App *2016-11-02, version 2.1* This app saved my marriage. ### 5/5 — I don't get it *2016-10-12, version 2.1* Can't really say much more ### 5/5 — A+ *2016-09-19, version 2.1* A great game. Calming and good for anxiety and stress relief. Really glad I found this game! ### 5/5 — Best F*ckin thing EVER! *2016-08-06, version 2.1* Must buy, 10 fingers changes the game. Hours of fun. 🦄🍕🍄 ### 5/5 — Love It *2016-06-11, version 2.1* Gorgeous Game ### 5/5 — Great For Making Stunning Wallpapers *2016-03-25, version 2.1* Mesmerizing 😍 Screenshot to save no need for a save feature 😂 also it has no ads 👍👍FIVE STARS FOR A GREAT APP ### 5/5 — Wow *2016-02-11, version 2.1* It looks great and fun to play with in your spare time. Great on Apple TV ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2016-02-10, version 2.1* One of the most gorgeous games I've ever played, this game is both intriguing and simple to learn. More functions, such as negative gravity would be great. Also, a softer shake being needed to bring up the menu would improve accessibility. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Concept is great however...... *2016-02-29, version 2.1* Couldn't get the controls to work on the app once it was downloaded. There's no save. I deleted it moments after trying it out. ### 1/5 — Ads!! *2015-12-20, version 2.1* Really eye catching app until the ads pop up....no thanks ### 1/5 — Had to rewrite positive review *2014-12-30, version 1.0* I had a 5 star review at first, but when I go to use the app, it doesn't do anything anymore. This app deserves a big fat PPPTTTTTHHHHH!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Don't upgrade. *2014-08-20, version 1.0* Upgrade does nothing. Stupid app. ### 1/5 — Paid, got nothing new! *2014-04-29, version 1.0* I like this APP but feel like I got ripped off!!! I paid to upgrade & got nothing for it. I even tried to re-install but it wanted to charge me again! NOPE!!! ### 2/5 — It alright *2015-09-08, version 1.0* This app is great if you only want blue dots.the only other way to get any other dots to be colorful is to buy the ability to do so. ### 2/5 — Menus don't work on iPad Air 2 *2015-05-28, version 1.0* Title says it all. ### 3/5 — Lava lamp of 2020 *2020-09-22, version 2.1* Yep. It’s pretty cool and I love being able to influence the display. Unfortunately, with limited influences and time spent observing the same “lava globs”, it gets old pretty quickly. (3 stars) However, that being said, it was fun & interesting for a while and definitely worth the price... free. It’s still installed whenever I need to park my brain for a while. ### 3/5 — So-so *2015-07-24, version 1.0* The app is cool, but the setting to adjust gravitational strength, spawn speed, etc. have all mysteriously been disabled :/ even after purchasing the full version ### 3/5 — Great app *2015-05-18, version 1.0* This app is absolutely entertaining, but I can't change the settings for hue, gravity, etc. Can you please fix this? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yes, awesome! *2025-07-20, version 1.0.0* I loved all the cool particle apps that were on the App Store when the iPad was new. Sadly, very few of them are still around. I didn’t have much hope that there would be any groovy apps like that for the Vision Pro. But here we are with this beautiful, somewhat overwhelming experience. This app is so very much fun, especially using the features unlocked with a purchase. This is going on the top of my list for apps to share when friends try out my Vision Pro. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2024-11-10, version 1.0.0* I write reviews extremely rarely. I understand that now it is important for the developer. So, here are my few words: IT IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! For the developer:, it would be nice if you could add some meditation music. ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-08-31, version 2.1* How do you change colors? Can anyone tell me please. ### 5/5 — Cool but limited *2024-06-10, version 1.0.0* This is really cool, but we need more options. We need to be able to change the drag. And we need options for radius. There are more physics properties. We need to be able to mess with this app is far too limited ### 5/5 — Really cool *2023-02-18, version 2.1* The best sensory app of its kind. It’s highly interactive to different taps ### 5/5 — Simple but effective *2023-01-08, version 2.1* I've used this app for years and it's always been so good at what it does. It's not super flashy but in being simple it feels like it'll be around much longer, and for that i'm grateful. ### 5/5 — Pls tell me *2022-09-03, version 2.1* HOW TO GO BACK TO SETTINGS ### 5/5 — Good vibes 🦋 *2020-11-13, version 2.1* Calming and relaxing, love it. Good energies. Meditation-conducive. Thanks 👍 ### 5/5 — My opinion *2020-10-06, version 2.1* I really like the idea of the game but maybe you could add background to it or something. ### 5/5 — Stunning *2020-09-26, version 2.1* Jaw-dropping graphics, I could play with this for hours. That’s the free version, but this is totally worth upgrading for. Thankyou! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
