  Wonderful App, One major update needed

  I bought this app after reading all the wonderful reviews about it's calming effects and mesmerizing interactivity. I must say, it was extremely well done and really captures your attention. The first time i opened this app, my roommate and i spent about an hour messing around with it and really never got bored. I do have one concern, however. That is that the transition from iOS to Windows lost one major selling point of the app, it's response to your touch. It needs an update that makes the particles move based on your touches on the trackpad, not a mouse click. This would greatly increase the interactivity of the application and really put it over the top as the most addictive app in the store. LIke i said, it's a wonderful app, but making this one change would make it near-perfect.

  Calmed me down after a bad day.

  It is simply beautiful. You start out with a lot of uniform dots on your screen and when you touch your track pad or click your mouse, the pointer becomes magnet in a sence drawing the dots of light to the cross hair. As you move your finger around, you get different effects. By right clicking it pushes the dots away. You can also control the size and number of the dots with a control panel that is found at the bottom of the screen when you move the pointer to the bottom of the screen. It reminds me of the 1960s and the performance art group the Joshua Light Show. Now I have to download a copy of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" to complete the experience.

  A Delicious Treat for the Senses!

  This is a wonderful app just as many of the reviewers here suggested. The key here is simplicity and now-ness. One would never have thought that the actions offered by this app could be so meditative and just Right feeling. It's a practice in easing off of the daily schedule of creating and accomplishing goals and simply focusing on the moment Needless to say there are many ways anyone can achieve this state, but not so much within the computing world where the ever distracting realm of technological distraction looms constantly over your shoulder, or in your pocket.

  music support

  Love this app. I recently found myself stuck in an airport for 15 hours and spent a good deal of that time immersing myself in the soundscape of a good album in synchronicity with these visuals. Which got me thinking it would be great if this app could automatically synchronize with the beat of a song, and allow you to tweak the visual settings on-the-fly. This way you could focus your energy on adjusting the colors, pellet size, speed, &c instead of clicking/ moving the mouse. Of course this minimizes the interactivity of the app, which is its focus. But it would be a neat feature you could turn on or off. Anyway just a suggestion. It's a unique experience on your Windows or iphone.
