8 of 25Quite a demonstration of the power of an iPhone's processor. Nice graphics - well done!
I have always been curious about the Mandelbrot. I have had many apps that work good but don’t ever allow you to zoom by pinching. It projects a very clear image and allows you to zoom very far into the fractal. So this definitely deserves a 5 star rating.
I love exploring the smallest bits that go on forever into microscopic scale!!! It's amazing! it goes on forever and ever, and I can change the number to make the pattern even more complicated!! It's awesome.
It’s fine I guess but you can barely zoom in at all!
Great design: beautiful colors, highly responsive, and generally fast. I just wish it could zoom in a bit deeper.
Great design and user interface. Just what an classic Mandelbrot explorer like me was looking for!
This is a nice basic app for Mandelbrot and Julia rendering. Not as powerful as the open source app frac or the long defunct Mandela on macOS 7, but a useful app. Thanks to the developer for this!
Great app! It's good to see that someone took the trouble to write such a wonderful fractal app for iPhone.
