  • Absolutely phenomenal.

    BUY THIS. WOW. This would be worth every single penny even if it was $20. I've never in my life seen something so educational so incredibly well designed in both presentation and execution. Absolutely incredible. 17 out of 10. I truly hope to see more in the future.
  • Awesome!

    As with most expensive apps, this one is well worth the money. Extensive graphics allow you to simulate all kinds of geologic processes; like mountain building, erosion, volcanoes, flooding, beach formation, and so on. A fun way to learn basic geology.
  • Fun

    The best feature is the "sandbox," which lets you manipulate a piece of earth and ocean; you can raise mountains, bring rivers and glaciers to the sea, shift global temperatures and watch as plateaus desertify or rainforests move to the coast. There's endless variation. I wish there were more apps like this. Also, the soundtrack is wonderful.

  • A new kind of book!

    Wow. This is so cool! I read about this App on Wired and decided to check it out. Well, I've never had an interest in geology, honestly, but learning about Earth by playing with simulated, volcanoes, mountains, dunes and glaciers is so cool that I'm learning about geology simply because Earth Primer so fun.. It makes me wish there were more things I could learn in this way!

  • Earth Primer

    This app is frustrating. I like the idea but I cannot get past the second slide. There are no directions. I am a science teacher and would like to use this in my class but it is not user friendly therefore, I will not be using it.

    Sorry you found the app confusing. The book is divided into chapters and you need to complete the prior chapters to unlock the next one. The locked pages say this, and each page explains what you need to do in order to proceed. If you contact my support email with the page you got stuck on I am happy to offer more specific advice.
  • Great!

    Thanks for the iPad Pro compatibility!
  • Awesome

    It's actually a really awesome app
  • Awesome

    This app is the best yet it would be cool in the sandbox mode if you could add humans and animals and humans could build buildings to start civilization will be fun if they could like run around and hunt
  • Don't buy for iPad pro

    Unreadable on the larger iPad. Broken software.
  • Still not working on iPad Pro

    Over a month and the app developer has not patched the app. Save your money for something else.
