## Description

Let your mind rest while you explore an alternate universe of soothing patterns and beautiful shapes. Press the play button to watch an ever-changing stream of art that has never been seen before and may never be seen again. Or drag, pinch and rotate to gently morph the image yourself.

TeraFractal is an immersive and entertaining way to explore fractal geometry. Amazingly, every image can be described by just 24 numbers; when you move your fingers on the screen, you are adjusting these parameters. If you are a fractal aficionado, note that this app is different from most fractal apps in that it does NOT display the Mandelbrot set or Julia sets. It generates a different and equally fascinating class of fractals that are based on linear iterated function systems. For more details, tap the in-app info button. Rest assured, you don't need to know anything about math or fractals to use this app!

## Review summary

Overall, reviews praise TeraFractal for its beautiful visuals, calming effect, and easy-to-use interface. Users enjoy exploring and morphing patterns, and many find it relaxing or sleep-friendly. However, the app’s major drawback is its limited fractal variety, with only a few shapes or basic patterns available. Some reviewers also feel it’s not a true fractal program and view it as poor value for money. In short: visually appealing and enjoyable for casual use, but not a deep or comprehensive fractal tool.

### Pros

- Beautiful, visually appealing fractals with striking results.
- Relaxing and calming; many users use it as a sleep aid.
- Easy to use and intuitive once you get the hang of it.
- Fun to explore and create new patterns by touching and dragging.
- Well-designed app with a strong idea and broad visual appeal.

### Cons

- Very limited fractal variety (only a few shapes/patterns).
- Not a true fractal program and not entertaining.
- Waste of money/time for some users.
