"Apps like Gravilux awaken an Avatar-like sensitivity to electricity in the body, power in the palms and general connectedness." - New York Times
"Of the millions of apps out there, none quite capitalize on the sheer fun and beauty of interactivity the way that Scott Snibbe’s do.” —CoolHunting
"Every once in a while, an app will come along that has no practical application whatsoever but is just SO COOL that you have to have it! Gravilux is that sort of app." —iphoneapplicationlist

**iTunes Top 10 App of the year for Art and Music**

Gravilux lets you touch the stars: it’s a particle simulator and music visualizer that lets you use gravity to interact with simulated starts beneath your fingertips: a combination of art, meditation, relaxation, and zen animation.

You can tease and twist the particles into galaxies or explode them like a supernova. You can color the stars by speed, and make them dance with a music visualizer. You can change parameters including gravity, antigravity, color, and the size of your galaxy, and make gravitational text and typography. Multiple fingers and multiple people can touch the screen at once. Gravilux was first created as a work of interactive art by Scott Snibbe available only in galleries and museums until it became a best-selling #1 app on iOS.

Features:

* Interactive gravity and antigravity star particle simulator
* Change star particle parameters: size, number of stars, gravity strength
* Create words and type with stars and warp them with gravity
* Music visualizer with built-in songs or choose songs from your music library
* Share images via iMessage and social media
* Relax, meditate, calm, and unwind for mental health and wellness

Pros and cons of Gravilux app for iPhone and iPad

Gravilux app good for

Gutes Programm, doch vor einen Monat war das noch gratis! :-/

If your having problems double tap the CORNERS to get to the menu

Now it wont maintain the settings at all for size gravity, colors etc.. Just prior to todays update it stayed put until the one playing with it changed it - please put it back to that?! Please??? Then itll be great again! Cause really it is great. Get everyone its a grand visual art!

I think it needs an update though. The sleep slider keeps sticking on and what exactly does sleep do? I recommend it

The effects are mesmerizing. I play around with the gravity, circle the stars, gather them up then hold my finger in the concentrated group of stars and watch them explode!

Amazing app. I absolutely love it! Its relaxing, fun and it lets you play your own music. One of my most used apps, everyone can play at the same time. I use it when Im bored or tired and it just makes me feel better. Freezes occasionally but only for a second or two. Great app! :)

Some bad moments

I really liked this app before the last update but now it crashes immediately. Dont buy until they fix it.

To access the options menu, double-tap at the bottom of the screen (just above round button on iPod).

Ive had this app for about a year and a half and Ive downloaded many other games and artsy type apps yet I find myself coming back to Gravilux again and again. Its not for everybody but if youre into apps that calm your mind and offer a bit of fun and entertainment then this is for you. 5 stars.

Its hard to explain to my roommate why messing with little colorful dots with my fingers is so fun. Its just fun.

It is so fun to mess around and create little galaxies! @Tarfget, double tap the screen until the menus come up and tap the checker icon. Everyone should have this, along with tiny wings.

I bought this a few months ago, and I must say, its quite fantastic. Having a 4th generation iPod, I would really like to see the game utilize the Retina Display. 4/5 for the efforts
