Leave a Review Earth Primer
Wonderful educational tool, but so much potential for more!
This app is brilliant, a wonderful resource for educator to implement in the classroom as an introduction to geological changes of the earth - I only with the creative tools involved exploring simulated volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis as well (part of the primary curriculum). I did find another app which complements this one, but I’m surprised to find there’s no sandbox simulation programs exploring these phenomena in depth (I’ve been searching and the closest I found was through TinyBop - you can at least see/experiment and interact (minimally) with a volcano/earthquake, but there’s no explanations of what’s happening and I haven’t found anything for tsunamis). I hope the developers of this app consider expanding their already awesome simulation software into these areas as it would be transformative in the classroom! No more vinegar and bicarbonate volcano models forever, please!!Show lessMuMu Warrior
Still love this
Glad it still works on newer iPads. I love playing with the biome maker. Just wish they had made a follow up.FadetoWhite
One of the highest quality science apps
Our school had this on our Macs, so I decided I wanted to purchase the iPad version just so I could use it on my own. I hope this app always remains available; it’s too invaluable a tool for illustrating geomorphology to lose.Clint Arthemis Golub
Grayed our options?
I can not use all of the options in sandbox mode now :/ I am on iOS 12.1.3 IPAD 2018 32gb wifi UK Please fixAppleUser2022
Developer Response
Sandbox tools are unlocked as you play through the book. That is the only reason they would be grayed out. (Unless you’ve discovered a new bug.) Apologies if this wasn’t clear!Awesome game!
This is one of the best games I’ve played! I will like if the game had more feature but is still a good gameShock_24
I work in a museum
I work in a museum and I got an old iPad just so I could share this app with children. It's fantastic. I really appreciate that it only requires iOS7, that really opens up the door for educators to make it accessible to low income communities. Thank you for the work and creativity that went into this app.Show lessaWyldeHeart
THE BEST GAME
The best game ever but I think it would be awesome if you make the right climate and animals and people start to make city’s and get more and more advanced.So gust a suggestion.bbbass6
Boring
For the first 10 minutes it was fun, but it got old really fast. I would not recommend.Cheetahhorse1325
Amazing!
I spend a lot of time searching for and playing with math / science apps. It's part of my job. This one jest blew my mind in terms of the app itself and in terms of the possibilities it suggests for further related educational media. Perfect integration of instruction and play.
This one has it all right. Clear instruction, deep dynamic simulation, excellent emergence of geological land forms and related ecosystems... it really is excellent!
Suggestions:
It would be nice to be able to adjust the rate at which time passes,. Maybe even pause time as needed.
I'd also love slightly larger surface in sandbox mode. I would love to be able to run a larger landscape at a lower frame rate/ slower time rate.Show lessfungusamongus
Worth Every Penny
This app helped out greatly with my seventh grade science class. It helps students visualize and visually interact with ideas that static images can’t quite achieve. The graphics and interaction are truly fantastic in this app represent some of the best the App Store has to offer. Great work!Evan_13
