Geom-e-Tree App Reviews

Does what it does...

...but what it does aint much. The app store is replete with similar psychedelic image-generation toys. I imagine it is the ease with which such trippy images can be manipulated with touch on the iPad that has really allowed the genre to blossom. There is little to benchmark these apps against but other apps doing similar things. In that regard, Geom-e-tree gives you control over a couple parameters of a tree-like fractal, allowing you to change the orientation, and grow or shrink the complexity. However, as the complexity grows, lag becomes crippling. Playing around with it, youll figure out where those limits are and simply learn to stay away from them, usually. There are also a number of theme selections to change the visual appearance of your "tree", but sadly no option to customize beyond that choice. Among this type of app, there runs a spectrum between the freedom to manipulate and ease-of-use. Geom-e-tree is easy to pick up and play around with, but you may find yourself running out of new ways to play with it. Like most of this type of app, Geom-e-tree is inexpensive, so if the images in the screenshots are especially appealing to you, why not take it for a spin? Look up Artree while youre at it, for a different approach to the trippy-tree that lets you smooth trace a line that will sprout up to your specifications.

Makes pretty fractals

And thats about it. Would have been excited to see more different fractals in addition to the classic tree/snowflake fractals.

Awesome application of mathematics!

Very fun way to explore geometry!!

Amazing

Its almost impossible to put down. Art and math intersect in a way thats both accessible and complex.

Geom-e-Tree

Fascinating manipulation of intricate visual elements with your fingertips! A smartly-named, very sophisticated doodling app that takes a bit of getting used to. Saves best images ("trees") to the "arboretum" or your photo library, & just as easily sends them via email. Very clever, and awesomely addictive.

Fun!

Wow, these shapes are so much fun to create. Worth the money!

Untitled

Great fun! Ive made several trees and look forward to colors in the future for making Spring trees :)

Mind candy

Beautiful and great to save tree images for use in art apps.

Enthralling!

Seemingly endless variations. Great controls and visualizations on the iPhone. Congratulations on the consummation of a brilliant idea!

its great

its extremely cool how the shapes come out. one thing that would help though, is if it didnt lag as much. it just needs more fluid motion.

Bored after five minutes

It is a cool idea, but there is very little variety to be had. After five minutes I appear to have exhausted the possibilities. There are very few parameters to change and the designs all started looking alike. I am a big fan of visualizing toys, but this one is very dull compared to many others on the store. Considering how brutal most reviewers are to much more sophisticated apps, it is hard to believe that all of these five star reviews are legit.

Stop!

Dont download this! the other reviews are probably fake accounts, But in this app you only get 6 tree designs and the interface to make the stupid art is terrible. the biggest waste of 2$. You get bored after 3minutes.

Not worth $2

Sorry. This just doesnt cut it. The controls are weak. Its about 5 minutes until youve done everything you can do.

Bad

Bad resolution, controls, and price. Dont buy, its a total rip off

Its ok

Neat app. but not worth the price.

Good

I like the app and its many possibilities but there are two things I would like: reduce the lag and release updates because I did pay two bucks for it and my one dollar apps get updates.

fantastic graphics!

I love this little app, its intuitive and the graphics it can create are simply beautiful. One thing Id love to see in future updates is higher res images, these are rather small if the end result will be used in printed artwork. Many thanks!

Elegant, absorbing

This elegant app has layers and layers of possibilities if youre patient and creative. Especially on the iPad, you can get lost in the details and the complexity of the patterns. Dont expect a whiz-bang gaming experience--its more of a calm exploration of how math can become art. Its definitely worth $1.99 if you give it a chance to take you to new places where you can slow down and really observe.

a wonderful bit of Apple Math/Geometry whimsy.

this sort of app is what the original Apple Mac and now the iOS are all about and should continue to be all about. its simple in its concept and execution, and yet produces smiles and delight with the user interaction with the screen. at the same time, it encourages further investigation of the production of such geometric shapes and the math/science behind it. it does exactly what youd hope it would do, while making you smile. what more could a user ask from a simple app. anyone who would complain on the cheap price or give this app low stars or bad reviews is an obvious crank & troll and has now concept of the original spirit of Apple Mac and iOS. i look forward to future versions of this app and the delightful places the developer will take us with it.

Exquisite Beauty

Extraordinary beautiful line art is generated with finger control, but you need a delicate touch. Read the help page. Its short and well written. There are limitless variations possible, but you cant rush through them. This app requires finesse.
