FRAX
Frax is an art program that puts the “equations of nature” in the palm of your hand. Frax is powered by fractal geometry, the same principle that creates patterns of self-similarity in our natural world. From spiral galaxies to hurricanes, from tree limbs to branching blood vessels, the universe is filled with endless variation and staggering beauty. Frax visualizes this natural geometric code, so you can explore vast animating digital landscapes and make a masterpiece on your touchscreen.

EXPLORE
Zoom deep into your creations. Use multi-touch gestures to fly through and explore intricate shapes and patterns. Tilt-to-steer through animating digital worlds, as you challenge yourself to chart a course for a long and beautiful flight –all at a depth range of a trillion-to-one.

DESIGN
Unleash your inner artist with complex colour gradients to smoothly tint and shade your fractal shapes, two light sources for glossy reflections, and novel textures. The combinations are endless: supersmooth or wildly chaotic, metallic sheen or pearly white, subtle shades, stark monochrome or screaming supergloss. Or upgrade to Pro to access almost 100 parameters and controls!

SHARE
Then share your creations with your friends via Facebook, Twitter and text. Or invite other users to step into your animating world by sharing a live preset link. You can render high-quality images to your photo library or create ultra-high quality 200 Megapixel renders with an IAP. And for the first time, you can now record VIDEO of your Frax animations directly within the app! (Pro IAP required.) Our users have put their designs on canvas, posters, scarves, T-shirts and textiles. The creative possibilities are endless!

What will Frax inspire in you?

We hope you enjoy Frax!

Pros and cons of Fraⅹ app for iPhone and iPad

Fraⅹ app good for

I really dig this fractal generation app. It is very intuitive, yet versatile and the pro version is just fantastic. The real-time engine works very well and the resultd are so pretty. Had a Apple App Store related issue, but the Frax support from Ben Weiss was professional and painless. Thanks!
Got frax and loved it so much I bought pro. At first didnt work and was kinda sad so I emailed frax and they got it working for me within the day. Super happy and amazing app if you want to learn somthing new and make beautiful mesmerizing art.
The ability to export in super high resolution is amazing. Worth buying all the upgrades, you can make some amazing stuff from this thing.
One of my favourite apps. You can create some really cool stuff in high res. Good customer support, too!
If you love fractals this is the ultimate! If you have problems with the pro version try to write at the support, it works for me. Awesome app
When I first started using this app, I never anticipated how well done it would be. The standard features alone make a great app, the ability to generate and modify your own fractals, or just play around with the standard one thats loaded when you open the app. There is even a visualization mode for the fractals. Dont even get me started on the pro features, the ability to render 50 megapixel images is insane. And all of the different aspects of the fractal that you are able to modify are simply astonishing. You have very precise creative control. I love this app, and recommend it to anyone and everyone. Even without purchasing pro features its amazing overall.

Some bad moments

I love the app but its a ripoff that i paid five dollars only to not be able to use the features it advertised. It keeps sending me to a redirect page to upgrade which i have and when i "restore" my purchase it says i already bought it. But will not activate any features. Keeping 1 star until this is fixed. Its terrible
I kind of thought they would move on their own. I just wanted something mesmerizing to watch.
What a load of garbage! I just spent five bucks on the upgrade to Franks pro, and it wont download, despite repeated tries, or confirmations from the app! Dont bother. Theyre cheating you, unless they get this fixed!
I LOVEEEEE IT!Its math and fun mixd together!You HAVE to bye this app!
There is nothing else which even comes close to Frax for exploring fractals and creating fractal art on iOS.
So awesome, I play this more then IB3! Shut up and take my money!
