Description
Like fractals? Want to know more about them? The Wolfram Fractals Reference App is a handy reference you can take with you wherever you go. It's great whether you're covering fractals in your math course or just want to explore the beautiful shapes and structures of fractals and the math behind them.
- Choose from both common fractals and more unusual types
- Visualize the Sierpiński gasket, the Koch snowflake, and the Mandelbrot set, as well as over 40 other fractals
- Input parameters to customize your fractal type
- Learn the rules behind the fractal construction
- Explore hundreds of possibilities, including line and shape replacement fractals, space-filling curves, Blancmange function, Mandelbrot and Julia sets, and 3D fractals
The Wolfram Fractals Reference App is powered by the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine and is created by Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica—the world's leading software system for mathematical research and education.
The Wolfram Fractals Reference App draws on the computational power of Wolfram|Alpha's supercomputers over a 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connection.

Ratings and Reviews
Good reference to fractal types
The app is good for seeing different types of fractals, and you can view the fractals at specific iterations that you select. It would be very nice to be able to step through the iterations, but you need to go back to the drop down to select the next iteration to view. Some section on the math behind fractals would be nice also.
Average
I can enter the real and imaginary coordinates and see the point within (or without) the Mandelbrot set. But I cannot move around in the set to look at other points.
A Missed Opportunity
Being a longtime admirer of the absolute beauty of fractals, as well as a huge fan of Wolphram Research's revolutionary products, I'm truly amazed at the unrealized potential in this app. It is essentially just a static list of fractal-related queries for Wolfram|Alpha, and as such if your phone has a browser and/or the standalone Alpha app, you already have more than what this app provides! I expected at least a bit of local documentation on fractals, or even each fractal's MathWorld page placed alongside the Alpha result, but instead all one is given is the exact same page you might get if you query "cantor set 10 iterations". Also, it's understandable that Alpha can't be accessed while a phone is offline, but really, no offline functionality for the app at all? Very disappointing.
