I can’t believe that it’s still here! I like to use a two finger gather mode. Great on iPad too. Something Zen about it. This was one of my earliest App Store purchases and it’s still here and still working. Bravo!

Without a doubt, this is the best app I have ever, ever had. I enjoy it for hours on end. What a great app. I love it.

This app is a great way to experiment with all kinds of visuals and endlessly tweak settings to your heart’s content. It can respond to multi-touch inputs, and/or sound. It would be interesting if future features could include: * Adjustable sound responses (I.e. frequency ranges) * other phone sensors might be integrated into the app such as phone orientation (xyz accelerometers) * camera (detecting head/mouth motion/hand gestures) * MIDI input (responding to configurable note values and remote knob values for remote manipulation during live performance). However, this app has not been updated for over 3 yrs at the time of writing this, so it’s unclear if it will evolve beyond its current state - which is still very impressive.

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.

Just got this today to help with stress and fidgeting during meetings. It’s so much fun! The only thing I wish I could do is create a video clip from what I’m creating. If the capability is there, I haven’t sorted it out yet. 🙌🏼🏆

Пользуюсь несколько лет, приятно залипнуть, особенно отправив картинку на проектор. Лучшая в своём классе, да ещё и бесплатная. Авторы, откройте хотя бы донат в приложении. Респект!

The new update for high refresh rate iPad pro is absolutely incredible! I didn’t think it could get better for this app but now it’s room temperature butter spreading on freshly toasted bread SMOOTH! The new time control and energy slider tied to microphone input makes this a solid rival to Tunr’s G-Force in terms of music visuals. Probably better because you can interact with Uzu. Great update! Zero complaints! Maybe a nice addition would be to tie the phone app to the iPad app to be able to control the particle properties in the menu on the phone without the distraction of the menu popping up on the iPad. Also Spotify and soundcloud integration would be tops! Just add it to the wishlist please! (I’d definitely pay a few bucks for that)

This a revised review: This app is such a gem. Fabulous, fantastic frivolous fun. I just hooked up my guitar through AUM and it works really well. It is a petty it only listens to the guitar (mic input) but maybe this will extend further now when the dev have woken up and the rest of the sound spectrum (midi driven music and/or sound files) will be included. That would be so awesome. As said though, it’s really cool as it is already, even without sound affecting motion.

Latest update makes Uzu even better! And dev was quick to update again the next day to correct a mic problem. Mesmerizing, yet creative. Thank you!

--- 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.
