Realtime Mandelbrot
Create wondrous and gorgeous images, like those in the screenshots below, in seconds.
Pinch to zoom and drag to pan, and fluidly explore the most famous of fractals, the "Mandelbrot set." Color your images using an artistic coloring scheme that magically finds pleasing hues.
This is the only app for iOS (and, in fact, any mobile platform so far) that allows you to navigate and color in "real-time"--you get immediate, final-quality results and never wait. It's 20-50 times faster than CPU-based apps.
Save your images within the app or into Photos. Browse and revisit your collection, and email favorites to a friend or yourself. You may submit your creations into the "Mandel Cloud" and browse the latest submissions by others. Animated zooms let you hop from place to place.
This is a fun app for fans of fractal images or anyone wanting to witness the power of the awesome SGX graphics processing unit (GPU).
Features:
- Interactive navigation of the Mandelbrot set

- Tips for first-time users
Come and explore the Mandelbrot set. 10 years ago you needed a supercomputer to do it at interactive speeds. Now you can do it on your (super-)phone.
