Great resource even in 2023
Most reviews are 10 years old, but I want to state that the app is updated and works on 2021 IPad. The material presented is very clear and organized.
Rigorous, clear, systematic
If you are new to computer graphics and want a solid grounding, or simply want handy material you can refer to offline, this is a great app.
Perfect to take with you on an offline vacation!
Yes, it's not free. But it is clear and correct. It's price is a small price to pay to understand things well.

Awesome programming resource
It's so hard to know if the information you find on the web is accurate. This is a wonderful searchable resource without the worry.
Excellent material and presentation
With each update, this is rapidly becoming one of the best graphics reference and introduction textbooks on the market. Very highly recommended.
Total victory against traditional graphics textbook
We used this as one of the two textbooks for our computer graphics class at Williams College. The other textbook is a traditional paper one, serving as a supplement.
I would say that this app totally beats the traditional textbook because
- the contents are very to the point and clear
- graphics is more about visual communication. Great pictures/graphs and variations on styles and colors help a lot in reading and understanding
- mobility. It will be great to have easy access to some reference to the graphics all the time, yet the more comprehensive the book is, the heavier it will be for carrying. This app stays in my iPhone and adds no weight for carrying it!
- knowledge network. All knowledge points and linked and clickable, impossible on a traditional textbook.
- price. Single digit vs 3-digit that you can easily find at bookstore
Enough said. All graphics educators should consider using it and recommending others to use it.

Amazing
This app is absolutely incredible. It is by far the best reference on the subject of graphics I have ever seen. I have also used it just to look up some really basic math topics like trig properties. Best of all, it gets updated each month with new material. Absolutely worth the $10 if you are into computer graphics, video game programming, or need a reference for your math/computer classes.

Clean and Approachable
Super app! Obviously, super cool to have such a thin textbook and easy to navigate. The layout is great - very clean, allowing the information to be very approachable.
Exactly what I needed
I do research in computer graphics and have found this app to be an invaluable resource. Whenever I've forgotten a piece of radiometry or need a refresher on basically anything to do with graphics, I can find exactly what I need with very clear explanations using this app.
It also seems to be update relatively often with more content, which is great.
I saw some negative comments with regards to some functionality, like scrolling; the last few updates seem to have fixed these issues completely.

Much improved
This update brings a lot of performance improvements that make it much easier to use
Broken app
Scrolling is broken on the index which makes browsing complicated. Good information if you can get the app to scroll to it.
Needs work
The content sems to be there but there are many problems. The two biggest: Scrolling doesn't work. It "sort of" slides but you need to move your finger really slowly. Like snail pace slow. Even then you can't get mich further than the "b's".
The other major problem is the content display. Most of the time when I select a topic, nothing happens. I'm greeted with a blank page that never loads. Shutting the app down and restarting it lets me see about 4 pages before the app craps out again. All in all a really sad showing.

I respect the curator, but the implementation needs improvement!
I doubt Direct3d developers need an iPad app but this developer (me) jumped on the idea that that Morgan3D, the guy i'd been reading on RSS from his twitter feed, would curate an essential library of 3D stuff. And he has! There's no visible search box! Come on! I don't care who translated your MathXML or LaTex or WHATEVER. I load the app and watch the lower left corner tell me layout times. Come on, Morgan! Cache it or crash it!
