Performance v. Cost ratio => worth trying
As a retired EE interested in beam shaping of diode lasers I can’t justify subscribing to commercial optics design software- Ray Lab has been a respectable substitute. Thanks Kumar for developing it.

Best raytracing app on iPad
Ray tracing software is so essential yet so unbelievably expensive on PC OS that its a joke… This app does what $1000 software from a bigger name company does for just $100. Only wish I could use my PCs processor to run it. Fantastic overall. A buggy at times but as IPad and mobile devices get more powerful I’ve noticed better results.
Amazing!!!
I've been looking for a product like this for years. Simple enough to use, but provides enough control to form aspheres, really any lens! It can import zemax models too! Absolutely amazing - if you work with optics this is a no brainer.
App crashes and dark mode text
The app crashes when trying to open a model after toggling on “show when model is open” in the title/author/description menu. (I found that this did not work for renaming models anyway). In IOS dark mode, text remains black, making it difficult to read against the grey menu
Cannot be used in a meaningful way
Fatal flaws such as the exit pupil or surface order that cannot be changed make this app useless A real shame...
Excellent optics tool
Great tool for ray tracing and other optics related calculations. Highly recommend. Great service as well. Hope they continue development!
Wonderful optic software
This is a really great app for optical simulation. It has many advanced type of optical elements that can be used. Great for learning and teaching. Great and affordable alternative to ZeMax. Support is excellent and quick. The developers are really listening to users.
How is this free?!
It’s basically Zemax for iPad.
Big Oof
Instant crash- after turning on image preview in 3D view, now the file instantly crashes every time. Will never be able to open again- buyer beware
Amazing App!
Great optics simulation software. Best money I have spent in a long time. Keep up the good work!
