Boring
Does very little. Thank god you don’t have to pay for it.
Nice idea - poorly executed
I downloaded this because I have sensory processing disorder and wanted to see if it would be helpful. Sadly, it really doesn’t do what’s needed and has some very annoying features - like the sound effects on every change to the blobs.
If you are marketing this for people with autism, you need to allow for neutral colours - not primary and secondary colours - such as pale gold to rich gold, and colours in the neutral and calming range. You also need to make the changes smooth, not sudden. Ideally the magma would be played with using fingers on the screen, so perhaps it would follow the touch input or you’d be able to nudge it and change the shape of the blob. Haptic feedback would be a lovely addition here, too. The thing that clinched it for me was the sound effects, though. They are painful to listen to and there doesn’t seem to be any way to change the settings or turn them off.
I would pay for an app like this if it did what it said on the tin. You need to do more research on what is actually calming for people with autism.

18 years old, female autistic
I got diagnosed when I was 15 or 16, i can’t remember. But I don’t know anything more because I didn’t delve into learning about it. I still struggle with all the same things. This app weirdly made my head feel really nice after getting very upset, I can watch for hours. It helped me calm down and sleep.
I don’t have a good coping strategy for meltdowns, but this is a nice app. I think I need more like it.

Needs smaller blobs that move vertically!
I enjoy this app and I salute the person and or people that created it.
That said it needs to have more definition to the blobs with more color palette choices both for the background and the blobs as it’s too fuzzy right now.
II for one would be willing to pay a one time fee If it was clearer to watch more like a lava lamp. Adding a choice of vessels for the blob that flows would also be a fun addition to this app.
Thank you again for not being a greedhead and offering a free app is really great.
Stay safe and have a happy new year.

Not really like a lava lamp
The blobs are too blurry which gives me a headache. They move too quickly and every time you touch the screen to change something it makes a stupid noise.
