## Uzu Description
"This is doodling for digital natives . . . mind blowing." — Wired Magazine

"Uzu for iPad is endlessly complicated, simply fun." — Ars Technica

Uzu is a generative design playground — a math-physics-art toy for anyone who ever loved spirographs, fireworks, planetariums, lava lamps, light painting, kaleidoscopes, or graphing calculators. Touch the screen and watch thousands of particles swirl, spiral, and bloom in real time. Change the entire feel by simply changing how many fingers you use.

Relax. Play. Meditate. Create wallpapers. Or lose yourself for an hour tweaking symmetry, animation modes, and effects. Uzu is endlessly deep and simply fun.

Now completely rebuilt with a native Metal engine and a beautiful SwiftUI interface — smoother, richer, and more powerful than ever.

FEATURES
• Fully dynamic generative particle system
• 21 animation modes for each touch count (0 through 10)
• Rotational, translational, and reflective symmetry
• 100 factory presets plus unlimited user presets
• 9 visual effects: Glow, Warp, Kaleidoscope, Sparkle, Feedback, Color, Pixelate, Scanlines, and Vignette
• Export and import presets — save, share, and back up your creations
• Fast preset switching, shake to hide the menu, adjustable quality settings
• Freeze mode, microphone reactivity, and thousands of possible combinations
• Create stunning backgrounds for iPhone and iPad

ACCLAIM
• Winner of Apple's "App of the Week"
• Apple Rewind: Best Generative Art and Sound App
• Reached #1 on the App Store
• Featured in Apple's "App Store Essentials Hall of Fame"
• Seen in the "Year of the iPad" video at the iPad keynote
• Featured as an Apple Staff Favorite

## Uzu Reviews in Vereinigte Staaten

### ***** "Best distraction for toddlers"
My son loved playing with this at the doctor’s office. An iPad is the better screen for this. It is quiet and engaging
-- LaLee79, 2025-04-03

### ***** "Love it!"
I can’t believe that it’s still here! I like to use a two finger gather mode. Great on iPad too. Something Zen about it. This was one of my earliest App Store purchases and it’s still here and still working. Bravo!
-- Jeff3F, 2025-02-23

### ***** "Uzu"
Without a doubt, this is the best app I have ever, ever had. I enjoy it for hours on end. What a great app. I love it.
-- paularella, 2024-07-06

### ***** "Limitless Visual Possibilities"
This app is a great way to experiment with all kinds of visuals and endlessly tweak settings to your heart’s content.  It can respond to multi-touch inputs, and/or sound.  
 
It would be interesting if future features could include:
* Adjustable sound responses (I.e. frequency ranges)
* other phone sensors might be integrated into the app such as phone orientation (xyz accelerometers)
* camera (detecting head/mouth motion/hand gestures)
* MIDI input (responding to configurable note values and remote knob values for remote manipulation during live performance).
 
However, this app has not been updated for over 3 yrs at the time of writing this, so it’s unclear if it will evolve beyond its current state - which is still very impressive.
-- WJR1989, 2024-05-30

### ***** "Been enjoying this app for years"
I have been downloading this game onto each of my devices since the first iPod touch was released. It is a staple of every device I’ve owned and I love it. It’s a super creative app and was ahead of its time. My favorite app to mess around with, utilizes the imagination that was initially sparked with touch screen technology. Will always download.
-- DaChase97, 2024-03-22

### ***** "Outstanding! I have a request."
Uzu is absolutely brilliant! Love it! Thank you for making it sound reactive (I’m one of the people who requested that).

My request: Please please please extend Uzu to the Apple Watch. I realize that much of its UI, like creating custom presets, wouldn’t exist on the watch, and if the preset list is too cumbersome it could just go with whichever one is currently selected on the paired iPhone. Turning the crown could bring up the options (autoplay, screenshot, sound react, etc.). If the watch’s processor is not up to the task, put a ceiling on the number of particles that is goverened by what cpu the app encounters (more on the series 9, less on the series 5, etc).  

Having Uzu ever-present on one’s wrist makes it THE watch fidget for those of us who need fidgets for anxiety (haptics would enhance that aspect). A adult could trigger 3-4 behavior changes on the small screen, and my 2yo granddaughter (who’s fascinated with my Apple Watch already anyway) could probably fit 5-6 fingers, squealing with delight. If you want to make putting it on the watch a premium feature, I would definitely pay a fat one-time in-app purchase for that. Thank you for considering it. I sincerely hope you go for it.
-- joecunningham, 2024-02-11

### ***** "🤩 perfect,but 1 error"
I’v been playing uzu for about 10 minutes now and I feel like it’s absolutely 💯 perfect & there is 1 error.there aren’t enough settings.one more thing.the setting placements should be a little bigger that’s it
-- gutndev, 2024-01-28

### ***** "Absolutely Wonderful!"
This app is so great and easy to use. I hope an update comes sometime soon. I would love the ability to record and export videos and not just photos with this app. The ability to make calming scenes is sooo nice.
-- Firemarioghost, 2023-06-29

### ***** "So much fun! Please update soon!!!"
I love this app. It is probably my favorite way to play with color digitally. Little ones think it is magic. I love being able to save images and use them for a whole host to purpose. They print beautifully. I would like the ability to adjust background color. Hopefully that is something that can come up in a future update. Speaking of that. I hope there is an update soon. I would really hate to see this one fall win iPadOS advances. I see that the developers website has also gotten dark. I’m hoping maybe he’s just in a really organizing phase and comes back to this wonderful little bit of magic we all enjoy so much. I would legit pay a subscription to keep being able to have it supported.
-- Lilredsheep, 2023-06-26

### ***** "Awesome app"
this app is totally worth the small price it asks for. The built in configurations are amazing and all expertly thought out, all of them feel responsive. The ability to create your own presets and experiment with all of the available features is awesome. There are an infinite number of combinations and it leads to never having two similar experiences. Unless of course you want to make similar concepts. I personally use this app to clear my head when I’m feeling anxious. It’s very stimulating and captivating. Definitely an easy way to pass 10-15 minutes.
