About this app

MandelBrowser is a simple, intuitive, and powerful fractal image generator. The app allows you to easily navigate fractals with gestures (pinch-to-zoom, pan, rotate) and offers many ways to customize images: from changing color schemes to defining custom fractal formulas. That gives you almost limitless possibilities to create amazing pictures.

* 70+ fractal types including the most famous Mandelbrot Set,
* 60+ paint modes (patterns),
* 90+ color palettes,
* 28 image filters, including a kaleidoscope effect,
* 3D light effects using the Blinn-Phong reflection model,
* creating fractal images from photos,
* high resolution rendering up to 8k UHD (6k on Android lower than 10),
* optional supersampling,
* real-time zoom video,
* video creator (requires Android 6+),
* image randomizer,
* user-defined content (fractal types, paint modes, and color palettes),
* saving and sharing images, your favorite spots, and custom content,
* built-in gallery with 800+ examples.

EPILEPSY WARNING: this app may produce flashing images.

The app starts in the simple mode with some features hidden. You may switch to the advanced mode in the Settings.

I am using S21 Ultra. I have tried many different fractal apps, over 20 of them so far and this one is the BEST! I paid the $6, to this developer, to remove ads, (which I rarely do) and to get the full pro experience because my experience was SO Freakin Great!. On Chromebook this app works like butter with my touchscreen. You can zoom in far better than other apps that try too. Can't give this enough stars. In fact, the number of stars I would give would not be found in the Mandelbrot set :)

Its really good. Selection of fractals and paint modes are great. The way it updates during zooms is rather effective. I learned about more fractal functions. I'm surprised most of the fractal types exhibit the canonical Mandelbrot shape in some way. The fractal edges seem slightly blurry. The Back button is not intuitive; it should be Press Twice to Exit, or at least the "..." menu could use an Quit option so I don't have to kill it.

I've used a lot of fractal apps over the decades, since FractInt in the DOS era. This one is simply astonishing. The hi-res fractals I've rendered on the phone and viewed on my desktop machine are absolutely breathtaking. The app is also a bravura illustration of UI done right for mobile. Simply exquisite. My only ask is for ability to keep the palette rotating. Frax on IOS lets you spin the palette at your selected speed using a touch and swipe maneuver. It would make the app perfect!
