Been enjoying this app for years
I have been downloading this game onto each of my devices since the first iPod touch was released. It is a staple of every device I’ve owned and I love it. It’s a super creative app and was ahead of its time. My favorite app to mess around with, utilizes the imagination that was initially sparked with touch screen technology. Will always download.
United StatesOutstanding! I have a request.
Uzu is absolutely brilliant! Love it! Thank you for making it sound reactive (I’m one of the people who requested that). My request: Please please please extend Uzu to the Apple Watch. I realize that much of its UI, like creating custom presets, wouldn’t exist on the watch, and if the preset list is too cumbersome it could just go with whichever one is currently selected on the paired iPhone. Turning the crown could bring up the options (autoplay, screenshot, sound react, etc.). If the watch’s processor is not up to the task, put a ceiling on the number of particles that is goverened by what cpu the app encounters (more on the series 9, less on the series 5, etc). Having Uzu ever-present on one’s wrist makes it THE watch fidget for those of us who need fidgets for anxiety (haptics would enhance that aspect). A adult could trigger 3-4 behavior changes on the small screen, and my 2yo granddaughter (who’s fascinated with my Apple Watch already anyway) could probably fit 5-6 fingers, squealing with delight. If you want to make putting it on the watch a premium feature, I would definitely pay a fat one-time in-app purchase for that. Thank you for considering it. I sincerely hope you go for it.
United States🤩 perfect,but 1 error
I’v been playing uzu for about 10 minutes now and I feel like it’s absolutely 💯 perfect & there is 1 error.there aren’t enough settings.one more thing.the setting placements should be a little bigger that’s it
United StatesAbsolutely Wonderful!
This app is so great and easy to use. I hope an update comes sometime soon. I would love the ability to record and export videos and not just photos with this app. The ability to make calming scenes is sooo nice.
United StatesSo much fun! Please update soon!!!
I love this app. It is probably my favorite way to play with color digitally. Little ones think it is magic. I love being able to save images and use them for a whole host to purpose. They print beautifully. I would like the ability to adjust background color. Hopefully that is something that can come up in a future update. Speaking of that. I hope there is an update soon. I would really hate to see this one fall win iPadOS advances. I see that the developers website has also gotten dark. I’m hoping maybe he’s just in a really organizing phase and comes back to this wonderful little bit of magic we all enjoy so much. I would legit pay a subscription to keep being able to have it supported.
United StatesAwesome app
this app is totally worth the small price it asks for. The built in configurations are amazing and all expertly thought out, all of them feel responsive. The ability to create your own presets and experiment with all of the available features is awesome. There are an infinite number of combinations and it leads to never having two similar experiences. Unless of course you want to make similar concepts. I personally use this app to clear my head when I’m feeling anxious. It’s very stimulating and captivating. Definitely an easy way to pass 10-15 minutes.
United StatesUsage permissions
I’ve been using this app for a very long time. It’s great for a visual relaxation. It’s eye candy. And it’s fun just to interact with. My question to the developer is this: can I use screenshots from the app for my own personal use? I am in the process of brainstorming and working to develop my own Tarot card deck. I wanted to know if I had permission to use screenshots from the app to layer as a background on my cards. I sent a message on the Facebook page, but haven’t heard anything back. I would certainly include the app and the developer when giving credits. Please let me know. And thanks in advance.

--- VERSION 3.2.1 - Fixed bug where mic input wasn't working correctly on some devices --- VERSION 3.2 This update includes high frame rates, slow motion, and microphone audio responsiveness. In order to make high frame rates possible I had to rewrite all of the animation modes to support a variable time scale. I was then able to use this variable time scale to respond to audio from the microphone. There is a slider in the options panel that allow you to adjust the microphone sensitivity. Thank you so much to all the people who continue to download and support this app. - Support for high frame rates. Uzu will now use the maximum frame rate of the device. This means 60fps for iPhone and iPad and 120fps for iPad Pro. - Introduced "Time Scale" property slider that allows you to adjust the speed of the animations without changing the overall shape. See Uzu in slow mo! - Renamed "Speed" to "Energy". This was done to help differentiate the two properties for affecting the overall speed. - Uzu now reacts to audio from the microphone. When this mode is enabled, Uzu maps the mic levels to the "Time Scale" property. - Added mic button to quick action menu. - The quick action menu now hides when touching the screen. - The quick action menu hides after a shorter period when not touching the screen. - Added a slider in the options panel to adjust microphone sensitivity. - Fixed a number of UI bugs where text would be the wrong color.
