That gives you almost limitless possibilities to create amazing pictures.

* 72 paint modes (patterns),
* 128 color palettes,
* 29 image filters, including a kaleidoscope effect,
* 3D light effects using the Blinn-Phong reflection model,

This app works very well but actually making fractals is quite a challenge sometimes! I would suggest adding something to be used in place of i/√-1 instead of have to use the "complex(0,1)" equation to replicate it. I would also suggest expanding MBlan to add symbols like "√" for QOL purposes, I also found a crash in custom pallets where if you only have one color it crashes, but other than all that this app is very coolio :3

Mandelbrowser has renewed my love for fractals. Honestly kind of obsessed! This is the first fractal app that lives up! I'm not into the math part. But thanks to this, I can learn a whole lot more with your excellent tutorials that are not too complicated to understand! Thank you! I love it. I use it every day for hours .☺️😍 The lighting effects so cool and adds a lot to the images,

This is a new review based on the premium version. I originally gave it 1 star due to the poor quality on the free version. I wish I could say this review would improve. Unfortunately, the saved videos are absolute garbage even on the paid version. I tried saving a 42s, 1080p, high quality video. On the device, it was unplayable. Every app I tried to view it on just froze. I assumed it was too graphics intense for my S22. I loaded it to my computer, and it's just pixelated garbage.

The app works well and fast but the ads are just too obtrusive to use the app to even get a real for it. I'll be removing it, unfortunately. The experience seems like it would be cool but with a loud ad that pops up all the time, I mean I could deal with that. But during the actual zooming there's a banner ad across the top. It just breaks the entire experience.

Excellent app. Having coded fractals myself, i have a pretty good sense of the challenges involved in making such application useful/fast/accurate and this app scores highly on all 3. Highly recommend it to anyone with the patience and interest to "dive" in. There are a lot of nuances in fractal landscapes that make one color palette perfect in one case and poor in another and revealing the fractal topology takes a bit of work. This app takes a lot of the "hard" work out.

Its really good. Selection of fractals and paint modes are great. The way it updates during zooms is rather effective. I learned about more fractal functions. I'm surprised most of the fractal types exhibit the canonical Mandelbrot shape in some way. The fractal edges seem slightly blurry. The Back button is not intuitive; it should be Press Twice to Exit, or at least the "..." menu could use an Quit option so I don't have to kill it.

I've used a lot of fractal apps over the decades, since FractInt in the DOS era. This one is simply astonishing. The hi-res fractals I've rendered on the phone and viewed on my desktop machine are absolutely breathtaking. The app is also a bravura illustration of UI done right for mobile. Simply exquisite. My only ask is for ability to keep the palette rotating. Frax on IOS lets you spin the palette at your selected speed using a touch and swipe maneuver. It would make the app perfect!

An incredible app with amazing functionality. This app makes you want to learn to code. Detail is stunning with endless possibilities. The advanced mode makes this app comparable to commercial apps that cost tons. I can't believe it is free!! The ads don't completely hijack this app. It takes my phone a bit to render iterations and detail but I get precise control. Hats off to the developer. This is NOT just a plaything to keep you busy. It is ART!
