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.

Great but some issues

This is a great app for viewing hight quality projects however it doesn’t allow you to edit projects, still greatly recommended

Doesn’t work

Just a gray screen.

Wish this was improved

Perhaps the developer can open source this so others can take over development.

It seems this isn’t receiving updates any longer despite the non stop crashes and minimal features.

super good

would be nice if there were a 'safe mode' which avoids evaluating any shader code.

also,
it would be great to see an update which hides apple's annoying "soft" home button on phones without real home buttons.

also,
add a "donate" button. i'll click it !

Great

Nice fast way to browse some of the shaders available on shaderToy.com
Thanks for this app, it’s very handy :)
Would be great if it had a code editor :)

Amazing...

Let’s be honest, what other app has procedurally generated user created video? It’s not an easy thing to do.

Broken application

This app is broken and locked up my phone. I had to power it off and back on as the screen was flipping between two and animations (not supposed to do this) so fast it tied up the cpu from responding to the home button.

Painfully slow. Overall disappointing.

Painfully slow. Was hoping you could create and test shaders also, like on the website.

Great stuff, but one request

I understand the intended audience for this is anyone who likes to look at cool visuals and not so much ST contributors, but as a programmer I'd love to be able to enable an "advanced" version that would show a button to allow me to inspect the code for a given shader. If there is something like this already I could not find it.

I think it's totally awesome that you've created a new, probably much wider channel for ST contributors to find viewers.

OK, but very buggy.

Some shaders don't have the sound working, the gallery crashes sometimes, but mainly YOU CANNOT GO BACK YO MENU ONCE YOU'VE WATCHED A SHADER! - iOS 9.02 iPad Air 2.
Apart from that, it appears to run the web site's shaders pretty well!

Keeps crashing

Looking forward to playing with it but it crashed every time, I was disappoint.

It doesn't work

Last release was February and here it is months later, still broken. What a shame.

Nonfunctional

Just displays a gray screen :(

Broken in latest build

Fantastic tool, but unfortunately it is broken in this build. Displays only a grey screen. I’ve deleted it and reinstalled as well as rebooted my 5s, but that didn’t fix it.

Love the idea, but...

The websites is great, I was excited to download this app. Unfortunately it only displays a grey screen for all shader demos. Tested on iPad Air and iPhone 6. No dice :(
