## Review summary

Users consistently praise Uzu for its mesmerizing, zen-like visuals and relaxing, tactile experience. The app shines on iPad/iPad Pro with responsive multi-touch and sound-reactive visuals, plus extensive customization through presets. Many users keep it as a go-to creative outlet and stress-relief tool, or use saved images for other projects. Repeated concerns center on stagnation: the app hasn't seen meaningful updates for years, and many wish for features like video export, more settings, and better stability on older devices.

### Pros

- Mesmerizing, calming visuals that feel zen and are great for relaxation and fidgeting.
- Highly interactive with multi-touch and sound responsiveness, enabling endless experimentation with presets.
- Excellent performance on iPad / iPad Pro, with smooth visuals on large screens.
- Extensive customization and presets; endless combinations to explore.
- Ability to save images (and print nicely) for use in other projects.

### Cons

- Lack of regular updates; the app hasn’t had meaningful updates for years, raising concerns about future development.
- Missing features such as video recording/export and more fine-grained controls (sound ranges, background color); desire for more settings.
- Stability/compatibility issues on older devices; some users experience crashes or inability to install on older hardware.
