Zen Garden
Swain Valasek | Jan 16, 2009 Lifestyle
All those little sand gardens you see in cubicle farms the world over are a thing of the past, thanks to the magic of the iPhone! Well, sort of. Zen Garden from Peerium Inc allows you to get metaphysical in the sand with the best of them. You can draw with a finger, swipe with 2 to ‘rake’ or shake to clear. The graphics are realistic so it looks just like interacting with real sand. That’s unfortunately about it though and since there’s nothing else here to engage you and no configurable options, it’s more like etch-a-sketch than a transcendent experience.
Add an ambient music track, soothing sound fx, some rocks to arrange and maybe even a trickling fountain and you’ve got something neat that could compete with the likes of Koi Pond. That said, this app does exactly what’s advertised so I can’t fault it but as is, I could only recommend it were it free.

- That's right people, it's SAND
- Free this app, it's trapped behind a dollar
