User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise the app for deep customization and a strong, engaging implementation of Conway's Life. The most recurring drawback is intrusive ads that interrupt play across multiple reviews. A few users also mention UI hints for resetting designs and other feature requests, but ads are the dominant concern while the core gameplay and customization receive frequent compliments.

Pros

Extensive customization and control over birth/sustain rules and aging, enabling complex pattern evolution
Highly engaging and well-regarded implementation of Conway's Life with many options

Cons

Intrusive, fullscreen ads that frequently disrupt gameplay and degrade the experience

Recent reviews

I enjoy the degree of customization and the creation +evolution of patterns over many generations. I also find the store/restore feature useful. I do have a suggestion though: I have been using the “save to gallery” feature to capture patterns and I was wondering if there was a way to implement uploading photos from the camera roll which were saved from the game. This would allow for saving multiple states and also patterns could be stored externally as a photo, which could be reuploaded to the game. This could probably be a separate option from saving the picture to the gallery.

It's back! I couldn't get it for a while! It's the best implementation of this game I have ever seen and I'll never update my iPhone or iPad again now thank you!
