Great App, Needs Maintenance
I’m getting into shader art for fun, and it’s been wonderful to be able to run my experiments from the couch! This app will become an essential part of my day-to-day practice if it’s still being supported by the developer.
The “Request Feature” and “Report Bug” tools in the app are broken, so I’ll use this instead and hope the message gets through! A few thoughts and issues:
- I can’t easily render to a high-res 1:1 rect for pixel shader art. I’d like something similar to the Shadertoy setup out of the box.
- I named one of my shaders “3.10.20 - Circles” and the app crashed, and now I can’t see that shader in the list of shaders in the app. I like to name all my creative projects with the date, but at least special characters should be handled gracefully!
- The code editor needs some love. Specifically, auto-indentation for new lines is a standard feature users expect in a code editor, and having an easy way to comment and uncomment lines is critical – ideally cmd+/ on an attached keyboard.
An app like Shaderific is well worth $10 (or more), though I’d be wary of investing in this one if it’s not going to see further active development.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. Please check out the latest update which adresses most of the issues. Could you please contact me via https://www.shaderific.com/contact regarding the shader art topic. I do not yet fully understand what you have in mind.
Great app!
I love this app! Can use it as an offline shader toy on long distance flights ❤️❤️❤️
Great for prototyping on-the-go!
Very cool!
Text input fixed on iphone 6
The new update has fixed all the issues with writing shaders on the iphone 6. Which means the app is now exactly what I need to kill time on my commute. Awesome!
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback! The problem has been fixed with the latest update. I would be happy if you would give Shaderific another try...😀
Best GLSL editor for mobile
I've been using this app constantly to experiment with shaders, with 3D models and even full screen running the built in camera to a texture and writing camera effects. It works on my phone as well so I sometimes play with ideas while I am out and inspired! The developer has been awesome, adding several feature requests I emailed in. I love it!
