## What is Relaxabit?

About Relaxabit

------------------------------

The idea behind this app started about one year ago when real Lava-Lamps got more popular in my country (again)  
They do not only look nice, but can have a very healing effect to your mind. 
I wanted both, to create a visually appealing app and to capture this healing effect. 
I was quickly surprised how complex this "simple" thing turned out. It needs a physical simulation of both liquid and temperature in 3D, together with some mesh-generation-process and rendering, in realtime, or at least very fast.



Usage

------------------------------
-
-use the Play button the start/stop the simulation
-tap at the display to rotate, move and zoom the scene
-there is one special "empty" lamp-type which only shows the lava-simulation
-use the Randomize-button to randomize lamp-, lava- and light-parameters
-use the sections at the bottom to fine-tune settings
-use the Reset-button to reset simulation-settings and render-settings to their defaults



Pro Mode

------------------------------

I optimized the hell out of it :-), but  still it is a very computation-heavy app. Therefore you may test the app completely before buying it. 
I think it will not work well on every supported device (but will not harm it in any way). So, just give it a try, it is free to test, and does not have any ads. 
In order to really enjoy the app and get permanent access to all features, you may purchase pro-mode in the App Store.



For one purchase you will get the following:

1. access to simulation-settings like speed and resolution

2. material-settings of both the lava-lamp and the lava itself
3. light-settings

4. AR mode

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2020-11-05*

You can do nothing withoit pro mode which costs money.

### 1/5 — requires purchase

*2020-07-28*

you can only edit colors, lights, and materials if you buy pro

### 2/5 — Thirty second pro trial too short

*2020-07-27, version 1.0*

Tried this on an iPhone 11 Pro Max. The 30 second trial in Pro mode was too short to genuinely play with the simulation settings. I would suggest a few minutes (something like 10 or 15). I was hoping to get the lava movement in full screen rather than a picture of a lamp; I might be able to zoom in to achieve that, but IWBNI it was an option. Given that I’m using a top end iPhone, the graphics weren’t as smooth as I hoped.

If the trial time could be increased I could have a better play.

Rated as 2 stars on the rationale that it’s a great idea, but I wouldn’t use it in its current form.

### 5/5 — Relaxabit

*2019-11-22, version 1.0*
