Description
Ions is back, recharged and better than ever! The sequel to the staff-favorite particle simulation allows total control over the look and behavior of your creations. Ions 2+ also supports iPhones and iPods as well as iPads!
Your ions can now change color and size based on age, speed, direction, and other parameters! Change shape, leave trails, change the background, and more! Use your device’s accelerometer to react to gravity or add turbulence and drag for more variety. You also have both rectangular and polar grids for precise placement.
Why stop at only 20,000 particles? With Ions 2+, you can raise the limit up to 100,000 on faster devices.
Of course you can still save your favorite layouts, as well as any custom looks you’ve created.
Ions 2+. I'm positive you'll love it.
What’s New
Version 1.2
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
And now a big update, years in the making!
• Emitters have more controls: Radius, Twist, and Randomness.
⁃ Emitters can now emit within a specified radius to spread out your ions. You can also control the twist and randomness of their initial directions. Tap the dueling arrows on the bottom left of an emitters’ controls to see the new ones.
• Use colors from background images.
⁃ You can now have your ions take their colors from the background image. They can either sample the color once at birth, or continuously over their lives. That’s right. You can now paint with Ions2+.
• Background images.
⁃ You can load any image from your pictures library to use as a background image. You can then resize and place it within Ions2+ to put it right where you want it.
• Transparency.
⁃ There is now a separate curve to control the transparency (aka “alpha”) of your ions. Have them fade out, flash, or simply layer beautifully on top of each other.
• New layouts:
⁃ Echoes, Dust, Twirl, Watercolor, Corners, Sun, Eye. Hairbrush, Galaxy, Bursts. Stars. Chips, and Chase.
• More ions.
⁃ Devices are fast these days, so why not allow 200,000 ions at once? Why not, indeed.
Ratings and Reviews
Mindless, useless....why on earth did I buy it!.......
It completely wastes your time... I must have been in a mindless state when I purchased it....so I must delete it!...oh no says my mindless state it might come in handy....after all I have been playing with it for ...wow can’t be 2 hours feels like 10 minutes...it must be addictive....therefore it must be a fun app! That’s it....it’s a completely mindless addictive game that you just can’t put down ...it’s compulsive, yet stress free and fun.....I’m keeping it!!!
Awesome, moreish visualiser
I was looking for a way to add motion to a series of static I,ages and found this. Just: wow! It took me too long to realise that you can hide the emitters and control bar menu by hitting the bottom right slider, the this was operator error. Load up a photo, add some emitters, hide the menus, and hit the iPad screen record for a quick way of adding snow, smoke, sparks and swirls to anything. And you can interact with the screen while the sim runs. Epic.
