This beautiful and intuitive app is a mind-boggling improvement on those static images. Good use of touch interface, renders surprisingly quickly, and a very nice collection of initial states. Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Silly little toy *2017-03-25* Allows you to zoom in as deeply as a cheap 1950s toy microscope. ### 1/5 — Don't like the colors *2009-01-16* Takes too long to draw and i really don't like the colors that it shows me for the pictures. ### 1/5 — Slow *2008-12-29* While this program is interesting, it is incredibly slow. Don't bother. ### 3/5 — Good fractal explorer *2009-01-10* A very good fractal explorer app. Some of the color options could be improved, but this is overall the best fractal explorer program that I've found on the iPhone. And, it's free! ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2008-12-28* Nice and fast, although it does regenerate areas of the screen it doesn't need to, for instance during a translation. Also when changing the color scheme it should be able to do this via a direct transform rather than a rebuild. Other minor quibbles: no "home" button (at least I couldn't find one) and the color schemes other than greyscsle are a little "bitty", especially the chromatic one which doesn't seem to be as good as the old VGA version. Lastly the images are saved out as jpeg I think, so you lose quite a lot of the detail. ### 4/5 — Nice rendering but limited *2015-10-07* Portrait mode only on iPad, and performance is less than what I'd expect. Seems like it's using CPU calculation rather than any leveraging of the parallel capabilities of the GPU. Good quality rendering though. ### 4/5 — Beautiful icon! *2012-10-27* I love this app but the image seems squished horizontally. Is there any way it can be stretched back normal??? ### 4/5 — Good stuff *2009-07-19* Something about the resolution is very pleasing to the eye. Multibrot and Newton chain options are unique bonus. Can't go as deep as ones with seemingly worse resolution. Pixelizes. ### 4/5 — Great job! *2008-12-28* This app gives a unique way to zoom into a fractal that you haven't seen before which is really fun. A solidly designed and also well implemented app, I have only two suggestions. One is a bug fix regarding accuracy when zooming in, and the other would be to add even more advanced options like seen in fracture, the screen saver. All in all, this app is exactly what it should be! ### 5/5 — great app *2009-11-18* This app is true eye pleasure and definetly worth the money ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best fractal app *2009-07-30* Intuitive, fast Like the prestored ' library' ### 5/5 — Great for Wallpapers *2009-01-06* And it's free. It is slow though but I'm sure that's the iPhones fault. ### 5/5 — Cool *2009-01-04* My friend told me about it and it was cool, so I got it ### 5/5 — I dont get it! *2008-12-29* I dont get what the heck it is but its freakin awesome ### 5/5 — Sweet *2008-12-28* Awesome app. Worked a lot faster than Mandelbrot for me. It also had more fractals. ### 5/5 — So cool! *2008-12-28* Can't get enough of the imaging , plus : FREE! hello , there's nothing stoping the amazing-ness from happening. Get this app you won't regrete it EVA. ### 5/5 — Very nice! *2008-12-28* Works very well, and given the prize, you need to get it and give it a try. ### 5/5 — I like fractural zooms! nice app u got here. *2008-12-28* *^^ ### 5/5 — Nice XD *2008-12-28* Fractals are always fun things to look at; they're just colored math equasions, yet also make some of the most mesmorizing images you'll ever see. I should know, I make fractals all the time in a little program called Apophysis. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
