### 5/5 — Great simulation

*2025-10-31, version 2.0.4*

This is a great app for pharmacists because it accurately simulates hallucinations and it is very cool and easy to use

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2025-04-03, version 2.0.4*

The best. Except when clicking the gallery button to open a photo/video, it just opens my photos gallery.. I can’t actually import anything through the app… but that’s the one and only thing keeping this app from crushing all other glitch fx apps. Please fix it ASAP!

### 5/5 — Lo-Fi Chic, Unusual Interface, Rad App Just Needs Update

*2017-05-15, version 1.5*

Apple throws the needs-update-asap! warning when launched. Please update when you get a chance, I love the app & all its low-bit-depth charm 🙂👍

### 5/5 — Psychedelically Superlative!

*2017-01-23, version 1.5*

I very rarely write reviews and it is an even less likely event for me to give something 5 stars, this app rocks! Simple to use, so far it appears that with some creativity the visual options are limitless, and you can create videos of any length, wow! So far I have only used it for music videos and it is beyond what I was even searching for, its that cool. So first off, download the app, secondly (and be warned), it's addictive and you may need to bump up your cell phone storage data plan to make room for what's to come.

### 5/5 — Genial

*2016-07-04, version 1.5*

Me gusta mucho.

### 5/5 — It's

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2013-02-23, version 1.5*

### 5/5 — Best

*2013-02-22, version 1.5*

### 5/5 — 15 more minutes of fun...

*2013-01-26, version 1.5*

To reviewer #9:  1-800-LSD-TRIP
(just kidding)

### 5/5 — Cool randomness

*2012-10-14, version 1.5*

Awesome to the max. Btw, You can save pictures but you have to figure it out. Part of the game I guess.
