Excellent app!

I love this app because it shows the angle of incidence where the light is reflected.

There are a few improvements I would love to see in this app that should be a part of the free portion of this app. 1. The ray should change color each time it is reflected off an object. 2. Add the ability to isolate reflected rays (1st bounce, 2nd bounce, etc.) 3. Add non-reflective surfaces.

That’s everything I can think of at the moment.

Performance v. Cost ratio => worth trying

As a retired EE interested in beam shaping of diode lasers I can’t justify subscribing to commercial optics design software- Ray Lab has been a respectable substitute. Thanks Kumar for developing it.

Best raytracing app on iPad

Ray tracing software is so essential yet so unbelievably expensive on PC OS that its a joke… This app does what $1000 software from a bigger name company does for just $100. Only wish I could use my PCs processor to run it. Fantastic overall. A buggy at times but as IPad and mobile devices get more powerful I’ve noticed better results.

Amazing!!!

I've been looking for a product like this for years. Simple enough to use, but provides enough control to form aspheres, really any lens! It can import zemax models too! Absolutely amazing - if you work with optics this is a no brainer.
