FRAX
Frax is an art program that puts the “equations of nature” in the palm of your hand. Frax is powered by fractal geometry, the same principle that creates patterns of self-similarity in our natural world. From spiral galaxies to hurricanes, from tree limbs to branching blood vessels, the universe is filled with endless variation and staggering beauty. Frax visualizes this natural geometric code, so you can explore vast animating digital landscapes and make a masterpiece on your touchscreen.
EXPLORE
Zoom deep into your creations. Use multi-touch gestures to fly through and explore intricate shapes and patterns. Tilt-to-steer through animating digital worlds, as you challenge yourself to chart a course for a long and beautiful flight –all at a depth range of a trillion-to-one.
DESIGN
Unleash your inner artist with complex color gradients to smoothly tint and shade your fractal shapes, two light sources for glossy reflections, and novel textures. The combinations are endless: supersmooth or wildly chaotic, metallic sheen or pearly white, subtle shades, stark monochrome or screaming supergloss. Or upgrade to Pro to access almost 100 parameters and controls!
SHARE
Then share your creations with your friends via Facebook, Twitter and text. Or invite other users to step into your animating world by sharing a live preset link. You can render high-quality images to your photo library or create ultra-high quality 200 Megapixel renders with an IAP. And for the first time, you can now record VIDEO of your Frax animations directly within the app! (Pro IAP required.) Our users have put their designs on canvas, posters, scarves, T-shirts and textiles. The creative possibilities are endless!
What will Frax inspire in you?
We hope you enjoy Frax!

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

I've been an avid fractal program user since before there was a GUI, running Fractint at the DOS command line, and then in Windows. Shortly after getting an iPod Touch, I came across Frax, and hands down, in all seriousness, it is the best, EVER! Smooth zoom animations, fantastic colors, lighting effects and textures, and lots of options. I just don't do fractals on either my iMac or Windows computer any more because Frax is THAT GOOD.
Best Fractal App

As a lover of fractals for a number of years now, I have never had the pleasure of a fractal app that gave so many features as Frax. It is definitely my go-to app for fractal creations. With its many features and functions and copious user control, it is the best fractal app on the market!!
Awesome, however...

I love this app however if it wasn't 50% off I wouldn't buy it. The iPad app should be included bit and not a separate purchase. You end up spending too much money if you buy the iPhone and iPad app plus any in app purchases like the basic ability to capture video etc.
Makes you pay 5$ more for the full version.

Exceeds expectations!

I've downloading some fractal apps in the past but this TRUMPS all the other apps combined. They were all trying to do what this app already does. I even upgraded to the pro version, but it's still amazing and fun without doing so. However, the only! issue i've found so far is when you 'swipe' your finger across the screen to scroll through colors, sometimes it scrolls through the colors rapidly fast, while other times, the colors kind of blend and morph into each other slowly. Wish i had control over when it does it without having to restart the app.
Spend the money

I don't know what this app does in detail but I still love it and recommend it!
Stunningly beautiful and blazingly fast!

This app blows me away! I've been obsessed with fractals for years and this app does more than I'd dared hope for. A touchscreen is the perfect interface for exploring fractals and all their glorious depths with gorgeously rendered color and lightning. I'm amazed that graphics of this variety and quality run so smoothly on a handheld device. The developer has done an absolutely wonderful job!
