Great

Barely anything

Although the shaders will run, you can only browse them without seeing their metadata or code, and without being able to create your own shaders.

Awesome

It’s Shadertoy, and it’s on your phone. What could be better?

Works perfectly on my iPhone 12 mini!

I was checking the site on my phone, and wondered if there was an app for it. I read comments about it not working, but some of them are pretty old, so I decided to test it myself. Don’t expect the same performance than on a computer with dedicated graphic cards, but still you’ll be able to run a lot of the demos on your iPhone. Good job!

Just bad

Can’t make my own shaders on there, can’t exit something when I enter it on my iPad. Just use the website.
