Magic Fluids: visual art & fun

I downloaded the free version of this app one night after being unable to sleep and watching the different swirls and colors calmed me down and helped me sleep. since then I’ve bought the $4.99 version and I think the price is definitely worth it, there are a lot of presets and there is a huge amount of customizations possible. I like to use this app before bed while listening to music and watch or create patterns as they align with songs. it helps calm me down and I’ve actually been falling asleep faster than before. the only thing I would change is the placement of the menu buttons, I would put the settings in the bottom left corner and maybe the menu in the bottom right. I find myself using those buttons the most and it would be easier to have them on the bottom of the screen where it’s easier to reach.

In such a noisy world, being able to give my fingers, finger so used to scrolling through noise (ie. news, social media), another outlet of physical movement is a godsend. ✌️🙏🤙 And it’s so captivating, so relaxing, so peaceful. There are no words, I can play music of my choice on another app, no winnning or losing, just being and moving my fingers around creating unique moving beautiful visuals. Thank you so much for creating this app and keeping it updated. 💌😁🤗 🙋🏻‍♀️Developer fix request: One thing I will say is that the four buttons in the corners of the app are difficult to “click on” so if you can make the “click area” a bit larger that would be amazingly helpful for ease of use. It’s a bit off in terms of the click area. Still manageable. Still worth paying for. Just needs some tweaking for an enlarged click area so you can easily click these four corner buttons and not be pulled out of the amazing experience the app creates.

Look, this is not hyperbole folks. This is literally— LITERALLY— my favorite app ever! No I really mean it. I would give it four more stars if I could. I’m a classical musician and artist working in both digital and traditional media. This is the app I’ve been looking for forever. The fluid dynamics and paint engine are absolutely amazing! Colors blend flawlessly and the 3D texture rendering is beautiful. I can get thick syrupy textures in this app that I can’t seem to get from Corel Painter 2020– and this app does it while everything is motion. Yet somehow it does it smoother and more quickly on my iPad (7th gen) than 8-core i7 iMac with 32gigs of ram can do it in Painter (a $430 piece of software). It’s absolutely hypnotic and meditative and a great well of inspiration. One thing that could make it even better would be better color control for paint and background. I would gladly pay $20 or more for a pro version!
