Record any sound, play it backwards. Just have fun or seek for backmasking :) Say It Backwards app is a sound recorder app with one goal - record a sound and play it back in reverse. Thats it. Such simple tool gives you enormous possibilities. I personally play with my kids and entertain my friends. Check how "NOW" becomes "ONE", and if you practice a little you can learn to say short sentences backwards. Listening to known songs, jingles or other sounds can be surprising. Give it a try with English words: "easy", "Funny enough", "Amor Roma", "say yes" - those are all phonetic palindromes. While making this app I have realized there is a whole conspiration theory about backmasking - give it a search on Youtube or Wikipedia - you will be suprised. My favourite one is "Oh no, you're playing the record backwards. Watch out, you might ruin your needle" ... at least using Say It Backwards app you will not ruin your needle :)

Vibe Flow transforms your music into a living, breathing light show. Point your device at any sound source and watch as real-time procedural art pulses, swirls, and blooms in perfect sync with every beat, note, and rhythm. Whether you are hosting a party, winding down after a long day, or simply want something mesmerizing on your screen, Vibe Flow delivers a continuously evolving visual experience that is never the same twice. TEN DISTINCT VISUAL MODES Plasma — Luminous waves of color that ripple and cascade in response to audio intensity. Rich, organic, and hypnotic. Random Art — A generative algorithm rebuilds its visual ruleset with every session, producing abstract compositions from delicate tracery to explosive neon geometry. Particles — Thousands of individual light particles respond to frequency data in real time, clustering, scattering, and streaking like sparks caught in a sonic wind. Geometric — Precision-drawn shapes, grids, and tessellations flex and morph with the music, transforming mathematical structure into something surprisingly alive. Nebula — Deep space volumetric clouds with twinkling star fields and supernova beat flashes. Kaleidoscope — Multi-fold polar symmetry that folds warped noise into mandalas and ever-shifting patterns. Shapes — Floating circles, squares, and triangles drift in orbital paths with soft neon glow. Vortex — Spiral tunnel wormhole effect with audio-reactive twist depth and pulsing center glow. Ribbon — Flowing waveform ribbons with harmonic layering and 3D-style shading. Fractal Zoom — Infinite zoom through repeating geometric tiles with concentric rings and radial spokes. BLEND MODE — Combine any two visual modes with Add, Multiply, or Mix blending styles for endless combinations. FIVE COLOR PALETTES Choose from five hand-tuned palettes — Neon, Candy, Toxic, Cosmos, and Fire — each designed to complement a different mood. Every palette looks stunning on both OLED and LCD displays. SYMMETRY MODES Activate mirror or quad symmetry to fold the visuals into perfectly balanced compositions. Works across all visual modes. AIRPLAY MIRRORING Cast Vibe Flow to your Apple TV with one tap using the built-in AirPlay button. Use your iPhone as the audio sensor while your television becomes a full-screen art installation.
