  • Great app

    Do not get put off this app because of negative comments in other reviews. It works well and presents a lot of great information, just like the TV series. Problems with video streaming occur because of the 'last mile', as it used to be called - if you are on wifi, you should have no problems. If your video stops mid-stream, it may be because you are on a slower mobile/cell link. Don't bag the app, reviewers, bag the telcos. Good value at the price (two cups of coffee). Brian, you're a legend.

  • Brilliant 😍

    I ❤ it. The graphix are amazing, videos I found are very helpful. Prof. Brian Cox is also 🆒. Im into science, especially about space. Awesome
  • WOW!

    I recently came to the realization that I want to major in physics/astronomy. This app is blowing my mind! I already find astronomy text books to be fun/exciting to read; this app takes the learning experience to a whole new level! I've only been exploring for a few minutes and already I can tell I'm going to spend hours and hours having fun with it. The navigation is awesome, the Brian Cox videos are fantastic, the sound, the graphics... love it all. Money well spent! :)

  • Beautifully Made App

    Beautiful app....it's absolute perfection. The information is top notch. I'm a huge science fan in general so I'm always trying to stay in the loop, but sometimes the info can be hard to follow and truly grasp. This app simplifies it all and really helped me understand some of the basic elements of physics and chemistry on a whole new level. Thanks for putting the time in to make such a great piece. I only hope more will be added in the future!

  • Best app!

    Excellent quality! Worth every dollar, unique layout. Making a big geek out if me! Loving it, and all the interesting things I'm learning. Great job
  • Beautiful

    This app is beautiful. There is the odd streaming issue but the content is so fantastic, educational and well presented, this will no doubt be addressed by the creators. Music is fantastic, would be good if it played when you read the articles. I love it and besides my wife, its my new companion before I sleep each night.

  • As amazing as the subject matter, almost

    Wow, what a great app for the iPad. This is the kind of resource that I wish I'd had growing up. Still, better late than never. Highly recommended.
  • Planck Time

    Brian Cox is boss.

  • This is really amazing!

    This app is the most exciting applocation about space and astronomy, yet presenting wonderful facts about the Universe. It features brilliant design of cosmos and a faithful sense of its scale. Music is also amazing. There's only one thing, that made me rate 4-star. That's the iPad 2 compatibility of the app. As a programmer, I think the developers had to use gyroscope of iPad 2 to handle correcting places of celestial bodies after being touched by users, but I would have rated this app the best if I could use it in my iPad Original. Please do something for it.

    As an author of a book about Reality, I enjoyed this application, thanks to Prof. Cox and the developer team.

  • Beautiful, entertaining

    This app is both entertaining and enlightening, focusing on the "big picture" and doing a superb job of illustrating the current state of our understanding, and what efforts like the search for the Higgs boson mean in terms of our understanding. I found the material to be at a level where it was accessible while still being relevant and interesting to a more educated layperson. I minored in chemistry and found the material to extend my knowledge, so the "educators" who claim the entirety of this app should be common knowledge to a ninth grader is clearly living in an ivory tower. There's a lot to learn from here, for all ranges of education. One addition which might be worthwhile would be links to Wikipedia to allow users to digress into more detail within the application. Overall, this is a fantastic effort, a huge achievement, and a meaningful contribution to science outreach. I hope it's use becomes widespread and that this app continues to evolve.
