Fra App Reviews

If you've been around in the multimedia circles since the 90s, you may recognize the name Kai Krause who brought us beautiful eye candy filters back then. It's great to see he's still at it. If you like eye candy, this is for you!

I can not click the save button on iPhone X to share or save a Frax. The menu button and save menu button are directly over each other. Other than that I love everything about the app

At the edge of it all

It's really hard to explain to someone what a fractal is when you can't draw it out. Even so, people are not usually impressed by the idea. This app shows how amazing and intricate fractals are. Once you see the beautiful complexity it is much easier to appreciate fractals in our everyday lives (trees, leaves, etc). I love this app, I use it to capture images as my backgrounds and use it to show people the amazing world of fractals. Beautiful art and user friendly.

I love Frax! I started out with the Free and then leveled up to Pro and I love it even more. Aside from the awesome functionality to change colors, shapes, lights, zoom and hyper zoom etc, you can also organize saved Frax in folders, super helpful as I like to export and use them in music videos and large scale projections. I actually commissioned the world's first underwater projector just so I could play with Frax in the pool. I also randomly met a girl who makes dresses out of her Frax. So cool! Give it a try, highly recommended!

I love this app! It's so much fun. It's extremely user-friendly, with plenty of info, tips and explanations. Within minutes you can be creating gorgeous designs. A word of warning, though–it's highly addictive! While the basic version is great, it's totally worth it to get the pro version because there's so much more you can do with it. Go for it!

I kind of thought they would move on their own. I just wanted something mesmerizing to watch.

Othetwise great app stunning

This is a visual experience that left me speechless. I just cannot find words to describe it. Thank you to all of the great minds that made this app possible.

Endless exploring, beautiful rendering, massive custom tweaks, educational.... This is an app that keeps on giving with its advanced features and custom options, yet it is so well designed that the advance features don't stop you from enjoying it from the very first time you open it. Let's see, did I leave anything out? I'm sure I did, but they didn't!

I've used pro in past. However now it will not update or download Frax Pro . Instead I get RealTime? What is this all about? Also The blog and help files are linked to Fract.al. Very strange behavior with when I had the Pro in the past. Nasty Stuff runny in the back ground. Would appreciate The honest real Program I have paid for. It states I already have Pro However It does not load or work in Pro Format. Please Help. Thank You!

What a load of garbage! I just spent five bucks on the upgrade to Frank's pro, and it won't download, despite repeated tries, or confirmations from the app! Don't bother. They're cheating you, unless they get this fixed!

It' very stimulating & gorgeous !!!!!!!!

This app sets itself apart by the attention to detail from the developers. Even without the Pro upgrade, you would never run out of different looks and art to create. But the pro adds a lot of extra features so that you can create some very unique looking designs

Beware the mere "gallery" viewing fractal apps. The resolution is an offense and their static still are an offense... ok ok you get me... This is the best I've seen unless you are a math/geometry person. Much much more than the gallery stuff. I'm an "old time" fractal explorer from the days of clunky software written by enthralled devotees, to modern mind blowing stuff on desktops, including the first glimpse of alien life in "flame" fractals... _This app_ //really// gives you the thrill of the infinity of fractals; the diversity beyond what our eyes can see in Life all around. Fractal geometry is the math of God.... you'll feel that .... Hours of exploration, never-ending peace of tweaking jaw dropping views. Resolution that is worthy of viewing fractals. Salute to whoever picked the entities displayed. Be proud.

This is a beautiful production. A work of art by a clearly enthusiastic and knowledgeable creator.

When I first started using this app, I never anticipated how well done it would be. The standard features alone make a great app, the ability to generate and modify your own fractals, or just play around with the standard one that's loaded when you open the app. There is even a visualization mode for the fractals. Don't even get me started on the pro features, the ability to render 50 megapixel images is insane. And all of the different aspects of the fractal that you are able to modify are simply astonishing. You have very precise creative control. I love this app, and recommend it to anyone and everyone. Even without purchasing pro features it's amazing overall.

This is one of my all time favorite apps. I'm an artistic person, and I'm also into science. Exploring the virtually infinite maps of the Mandelbrot and Julia fractal sets has been like going hunting for something nobody's found before. I've probably spent at least 50 hours so far looking around, tweaking the texture, color and lighting settings, rendering the best things I find to my phone and uploading them to the Frax website so other people can see & use them. Upgrading to the pro version is definitely worth the money, most importantly in my opinion because it greatly increases the complexity and depth that you can explore of the fractals. It's also been really great after a bad day to use in the evening and forget about anything negative and not have any specific goal like a game would, but just relax and create. Very, very great app.

Written by 2D/3D Animator & Director Connor Dunham Director of the PROJECT VANILLA Trilogy Frax is a necessary visual abstract tool to create and express mathematical fractal animations, but it’s much more than that. Frax is in a unique place on the App Store. Just like Mextures, Frax is an extension of the ability to create art, albeit: purposely unrealistic, mythical worlds. Frax is different, the app empowers in ease of use, empowering in ability to transfix, and the ability to express a wide-variety of thought through being able to fully customize color, shape, form, mood, saturation, details, spectrum, texture & contours. I use Frax everyday. To both make how and what I feel, and to use the app to design and create worlds for the 2nd film in my planned trilogy of 2D Fractal Animation, titled PROJECT VANILLA. Frax is essentially, an extension of abstract color expression, available on the App Store.

This used to be a fairly decent app which created some really interesting fractals but over time its reliability has been in constant decline. This version is terrible and simply crashes on any kind of save operation.

Great art app, recommended

I love the app but its a ripoff that i paid five dollars only to not be able to use the features it advertised. It keeps sending me to a redirect page to upgrade which i have and when i "restore" my purchase it says i already bought it. But will not activate any features. Keeping 1 star until this is fixed. Its terrible

Everything i was looking for a fractal app to be like, and much much more. So entertaining to look at, pass time and make beautiful unique creations. Highly recommend it to anyone. Amazing. I do wish however I could have a rainbow setting on color where it switches colors all over without me needing to press anything (I realize i can make the colors swirl, but its basically the same certain colors until i change the scheme with the color wheel thing)

Brilliant, stunning, breathtaking! The only app in Apple store worthy of having. Gentlemen, thanks for the beautiful gift to the world!

Can't say enough about Frax! SOOOOO relaxing! And there are no words to describe how beautiful it is! I purchased mine, i believe there might be a free version- either way, do it, you will not be disappointed!!!

Everyone who's into fractals, this is the app!

One issue I have is that I got frax pro on a previous phone. I switched phones and now try to upgrade, it says I already purchased it and get it for free. Purchase is successful, but it doesn't upgrade. Please fix!! I want frax pro on my new phone.

I love Frax about as much as a human can love a block of code as a humble user. Thrilling, beautiful, and engrossing, it has but one peer, to which those feelings apply as well, AudioKit Synth One. Both are essential iOS experiences at the top of creative software. Buy Frax. It’s worth far more than what is asked. Synth One is free. My dream? That somehow the two get tied into one output. Let Synth One leverage the variables of Frax, or the other way around. I can dream, can’t I? Thanks for all your amazing work!

all the other apps can’t hold a candle to frax—that’s a fact

Frax is easily the most powerful and most intuitive fractal generator in the App Store. If you have any interest in fractal artwork, this is the go-to application. That it can generate this level of complexity in realtime is simply astonishing. Also, I had a small problem with upgrading to the Pro version of Frax. Their customer service solved the problem mere hours after I encountered it Kudos to everyone on the Frax team!

No where did this say it wouldn’t be full screen on my iPad Pro unless I knew there was another version. What a rip off....

Everything you could want in a fractal app and more. Extremely powerful and customizable. Blows my mind this is possible on a phone.

Cool, fast and well made. A fun way to make fractals without worrying about your pc processor.

My favorite app ! Many thanks to the creators of this app. The possibilities are endless. I could spend a lot of time on this app (and I do), and I never tire of it. It relaxes me. It definitely ranks up there as one of my all time favorites.

I absolutely love this fractal app, its by far the best one out there. If your willing to spend the dollar for the HD version DO IT ! It's worth it. This app is very interactive, you can mess with everything from the color to the texture and you can get in deep.

Lots to do and create, but can’t save videos... :( please fix!

Zoner suppremo. Best 1.99 I've ever spent.

Fun to play with. Beautiful to look at.

Loved using this already. Bought pro had some issues but their customer service was extremely quick to help. Worth the money.

This is a brilliant app worth every penny. It's liquid fast for maximum creativity. You can do professional work thanks to the extremely high resolution cloud renders. I love exporting my renders into other apps for additional processing. The developers have a long history in creating creative tools. Hope the masterminds come out with more apps soon.

Really wonderful app. Best of its kind for a mobile. I only wish the video recording was better. There's no anti aliasing and the moment you want to navigate across the fractals it becomes very pixelated. If the rendering could be done more smoothly this app would be a forced to be reckoned with

Beautiful app, very responsive developer. Now ALL of my Apple devices (Macs, iPads, iPhone) have wallpapers that I created using either Frax (for iPhone) or Frax HD (for iPad). These wallpapers have become a bit of an obsession for me.

This app is really good. The only thing that really keeps it from being great is the GUI. When it comes to the gestures you use to change the color, texture, lighting, etc., the gestures aren't intuitive. I've been using this app for a while and I'm still not entirely sure what they are. I've gone through the tutorial more than once, but they're not intuitive, so they just don't stick with me. The fractals are great to navigate and alter, but with the gestures being so unintuitive, it's hard to get things as I really want them. I feel like the great images I've come up with are more a matter of luck than choice. I also don't really like the layout of the controls. I just found some menu that I didn't even know was there, after using the app for a while. One of the foundations of GUI design is that it should be self-explanatory. So, while I do love playing with the app, I also feel that the GUI could really stand to be improved. It's a great idea for an app, though. I love math and I love fractals. It really showcases the beauty of math and allows people to be able to play with it -- something I wish they did more of in Math classes.

Mesmerizingly beautiful. You owe it to yourself to give it a whirl.

I’ve been playing with fractal-generator/visualizer apps on multiple platforms for literally decades. This is the best ever. Still, though, Hoping for iPhone X full screen support.

I feel extremely ripped off.

Great

Finally: an extremely powerful and versatile fractal generator with an easy-to-master interface. Well-done, Frax folx!

It didn't upgrade to pro after I purchased it! That's not cool at all. Otherwise, it's the best fractal app that exists, period.

One of my favorite apps! Highly recommended
