Whats a geom-e-tree?
From its trunk up through its branches, a geom-e-tree (or Tree) is a geometric figure that has the same structure repeated throughout:
• Starting from its trunk, a geom-e-tree has the same number of branches at every node. This is the Trees branching factor.
• Branches at each node are separated by the same angle.
• The lengths of branches vary from one level to the next according to a common ratio.
Trees have many surprises! Geom-e-Tree 1.3, The App, provides an entertaining, educational, immersive experience of geom-e-trees. We invite you to relax and enjoy all the brain-stimulating patterns Geom-e-Tree has to offer.
Latest reviews of Geom-e-Tree app for iPhone and iPad
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.
