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.

Ratings and reviews

Mandelbrowser has renewed my love for fractals. Honestly kind of obsessed! This is the first fractal app that lives up! I'm not into the math part. But thanks to this, I can learn a whole lot more with your excellent tutorials that are not too complicated to understand! Thank you! I love it. I use it every day for hours .☺️😍 The lighting effects so cool and adds a lot to the images,

This is a new review based on the premium version. I originally gave it 1 star due to the poor quality on the free version. I wish I could say this review would improve. Unfortunately, the saved videos are absolute garbage even on the paid version. I tried saving a 42s, 1080p, high quality video. On the device, it was unplayable. Every app I tried to view it on just froze. I assumed it was too graphics intense for my S22. I loaded it to my computer, and it's just pixelated garbage.

The app works well and fast but the ads are just too obtrusive to use the app to even get a real for it. I'll be removing it, unfortunately. The experience seems like it would be cool but with a loud ad that pops up all the time, I mean I could deal with that. But during the actual zooming there's a banner ad across the top. It just breaks the entire experience.

What's new

* palette flow options available in zoom and transition videos
* new built-in content: 4 fractal types, 2 paint modes, 2 image fiters, 12 palettes, 64 examples
* new parameters for existing fractal types, paint modes, and image filters
* minor improvement and bug fixes
