### 5/5 — Absolutely love it

*2022-06-01, version 1.06.00*

I hope this developer is filthy rich. Awesome app. Just downloaded it an hour ago and have already told people about it. Great work.

### 1/5 — Froze after loading

*2021-02-23, version 1.06.00*

Froze up

### 5/5 — 秀逸なテレイドスコープ

*2020-04-16*

自分で動かさなくても、かざすだけで風景がくるくると周り綺麗な模様になります。デザイン作りのヒントにもなる。飽きずにずっと眺めていられます。楽しい！効果音も澄んだ音色が綺麗で癒されます。Android版がないので仲良しの友達にオススメ出来ないのがとても残念。ビー玉の万華鏡テレイドスコープを作ろうと思ってましたが、とりあえずこれで満足してしまいました。iphoneの友達には激しくオススメしておきますﾟ+.(･∀･).+ﾟ.

### 1/5 — iPadでつかえません

iPhoneでもやってみますけど、、

### 4/5 — 素晴らしいです。

*2020-03-09*

暫く無心で遊んでしまいます。AirPlayで大画面で楽しもうかと思いましたが、画面が横にならないので、テレビ画面の真ん中に縦に表示されてしまい大画面では楽しめませんでした。もったいない。
