--- VERSION 3.2.1 - Fixed bug where mic input wasn't working correctly on some devices --- VERSION 3.2 This update includes high frame rates, slow motion, and microphone audio responsiveness. In order to make high frame rates possible I had to rewrite all of the animation modes to support a variable time scale. I was then able to use this variable time scale to respond to audio from the microphone. There is a slider in the options panel that allow you to adjust the microphone sensitivity. Thank you so much to all the people who continue to download and support this app. - Support for high frame rates. Uzu will now use the maximum frame rate of the device. This means 60fps for iPhone and iPad and 120fps for iPad Pro. - Introduced "Time Scale" property slider that allows you to adjust the speed of the animations without changing the overall shape. See Uzu in slow mo! - Renamed "Speed" to "Energy". This was done to help differentiate the two properties for affecting the overall speed. - Uzu now reacts to audio from the microphone. When this mode is enabled, Uzu maps the mic levels to the "Time Scale" property. - Added mic button to quick action menu. - The quick action menu now hides when touching the screen. - The quick action menu hides after a shorter period when not touching the screen. - Added a slider in the options panel to adjust microphone sensitivity. - Fixed a number of UI bugs where text would be the wrong color.
