Good, but some things not to do

This app is great. Is pretty close to the original. If you are starting a game, remember these 2 rules: 1) Do not use walls. Your game will immediately crash. Edit: this malfunction is fixed, now the only problem is if you have a save file with walls. If you try to load a save with walls, it will crash the app 2) do not have multiple cloners making lightning, or the game will overload and crash. Also, if you use too large a brush size of lightning there is a small chance of crash. I think that if you fix these bugs, this game will be great. The only request would be a zoom function or a way to change the size of the canvas. Also, use 2 fingers to change brush size(YEA) Oh yea, and a random (probable) Easter egg is that if you use the wind tool near the bottom of the screen you can change the view filter. For example, you can get a pressure/temperature filter. This is (probably) not a bug. Just restart the app (sad I know) to get rid of the filter.
Work in progress

I would like to see all of the tools, and it's missing a few elements. It should have the zoom feature, and the properties tool. Worth the money if you provide more updates. Also would be good if your add support for the online community. Different sized brushes as well. I hope this becomes a very well built app.
For mobile, it rocks.

So far, I think this is a good start, but needs more view modes like pressure view and the other views. More elements from the newer versions, and a developer that updates the app more than once.
Great, except...

It's missing a good few things. The PC version had more elements and things of the such, also, I'm not sure if it even has settings. The black hole requires Newtonian gravity, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to activate it... I still recommend it, despite its flaws.
Love it but...

I would like the rest of the radioactive elements please. If you add the rest of the elements I will rate 5 stars.

Great! But needs just a few more tweaks like different views and tools to be perfect! Also add in all the new elements like the new explosives and radioactive elements overall a great app!!
