## Path Tracer Description
This app does real time path tracing on your iPhone.

- Realistic lighting effects (global illumination)
-Watch the images render in real time at 30 frames per second.

## Path Tracer Reviews in United States

### *---- "crashes a lot"
it just crashes too much
-- .zwisa., 2024-07-28

### ****- "Crashes a lot"
It’s a great app but it always crashes before the image is done
-- star-fish-coder, 2024-01-22

### ***** "Frequent crashes"
Apps keep crashing on a 2019 apple device
-- memes4daysz9, 2022-06-15

### ***** "Life changing."
Fun app to play with. Learned a lot about ray tracing, pros and cons. I rate it 5 stars.
-- Skroacher16, 2021-11-10

### ***** "Well executed, elegant display of tech."
This app does exactly what it says, executes it nicely with an intuitive UI, and doesn’t bombard you with any ads whatsoever. I would absolutely pay for OBJ or FBX support. Though, I’m not qualified from a programming standpoint to be able to wrap my head around what that entails; whether or not it would be a headache to implement. I just think it would be fun to be able to do clay renders directly on my phone from files in my google drive. This tells me that’s potentially feasible. Very well done app, enough to prompt my first app review.
-- FundamentalForce, 2021-01-06

### ***** "Amazing"
Amazing. To have a cornell box on my phone operating in real-time reminds me why I got into visual effects 15 years ago. Thanks for making this! If you ever decide to add more stuff some suggestions would be more shapes, reflectivity adjustment for the walls (I know, bounce depth issues- adjustable limits?), self-illuminating objects, and maybe even obj importing.👍
