Fast Fractal is an ultra-fast Mandelbrot set explorer. - Blazing speed allows perfectly fluid exploration with standard pinch and swipe gestures - Spectacular image quality - Double-precision floating point math allows 100,000,000,000 times magnification - Full support for multi-core chips - Easily set the coordinates and number of iterations - Easily switch between Mandelbrot and Julia sets Fast Fractal is made by the developer of tChess (the popular chess app) and Learn Chess (the Apple Staff Favorite e-book).
Surprisingly Powerful
You can do a lot with this app. It’s fast and powerful, with a lot of options. Take the time to explore the settings, and you’ll be surprised what all you can do.
Lol hilariously ad heavy
Threw down an ad before it even opened.
Meh
It’s fine I guess but you can barely zoom in at all!
BEST MANDELBROT SET ON THE IOS APPSTORE
I have always been curious about the Mandelbrot. I have had many apps that work good but don’t ever allow you to zoom by pinching. It projects a very clear image and allows you to zoom very far into the fractal. So this definitely deserves a 5 star rating.
Love it! Neat little app
I grew up programming fractals in the 80s on my Atari ST, took around half and hour per render what you can do on iPhone in real time. Thanks Tom (Kerrigan) for Programming this. Quick wish, if it so moved you to implement this: once at max zoom level, allow a button press to automatically “fly out” eg auto-zoom out. That be nice. Anyway. Really love it.
Very clear fractal imaging but zooming could be slightly better
I overall love this app. I am amazed at how detailed and clear the images of the Mandelbrot set are. I also love how for each point on the Mandelbrot set, the corresponding Julia set can be accessed also simply by a double tap. However, I do have a suggestion for improvement, relating to zooming. Overall, the zooming feature is very convenient, except that sometimes I want to zoom far inside the Mandelbrot set to one specific spot, but then the zooming hits a “dead end”. I know that of course that no software can zoom truly indefinitely, but perhaps there can be a “maximum zoom” option in the settings, where one can set the maximum magnification factor by which one can zoom into the Mandelbrot or Julia sets. If the developer could add such an option to the settings, then that would make the exploration of these fractals even more interesting.
hello
this is what I see when I rub my eyes too hard
- Updated Fast Fractal to support the screen sizes and screen shapes (notches, etc.) of current iOS devices.
