It’s having a bit of trouble at the beginning of the universe when it starts? — thanks, Radu ### 2/5 — No camera access anymore *2022-02-23, version 1.0* There is no setting in settings to enable camera access ? ### 2/5 — Too much shiny object *2022-02-19, version 1.0* and not nearly enough substance - Feelgood science from Google. ### 5/5 — True *2021-05-06, version 1.0* 🥰 ### 5/5 — Outstanding! *2021-03-10, version 1.0* This is an amazing app! It is a short and accurate story of how our universe was formed by the Big Bang. It has a narrator and says incredible facts about what humans are made of and a star’s life. ### 3/5 — Beautiful but Buggy *2021-03-03, version 1.0* The game is wonderful, it shows a lot of how our universe was created in just the beginning and includes a lot of information. But it’s buggy ... My experience gets interrupted by a buggy and glitchy screen. Whenever I attempt to look at something, they begin to glitch around and won’t stay in place. I have to move my phone a ton to just look at it for a few seconds until it messes up. But otherwise this is a beautiful game. ### 5/5 — So Amazing *2021-01-28, version 1.0* It makes the graphics and the earth so awesome as well as learning about space. Truly epic ### 4/5 — Fantastic *2021-01-19, version 1.0* This app is amazing, it is so educational and the visual elements are fantastic! Grabbed my attention as soon as I opened the app. I am not sure if this is just my phone or the app, but it eats my power so quickly, and makes my phone overheat. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2021-01-13, version 1.0* Magical. ### 3/5 — Beautiful app. However... *2020-11-19, version 1.0* It turned the back of my pro max so hot I could barely touch it, or is this part of the experience of being close to a star? ### 5/5 — Beautiful and concise *2020-10-25, version 1.0* I knew everything being conveyed in the app but it was put forth in a surprisingly beautiful and concise way. The additional reading is also concise and well put. Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in learning something new ### 2/5 — Poor *2020-10-09, version 1.0* Tries to be too clever but results in a confusing mess that does not seem to respond when you do what it suggests. Needs a lot more work. ### 5/5 — Looks Amazing... *2020-09-23, version 1.0* Is there any way of viewing this with VR/AR goggles? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — [missing] *2024-10-28, version 1.0* I really hope to be able to enjoy this app. Will there be an update to work with the latest iOS? It just says [missing] when I open it ### 1/5 — Unstable *2024-01-06, version 1.0* It keeps crashing. ### 1/5 — Big Bang, what a big hoax *2022-02-22, version 1.0* This app is rubbish. Im Speechless that most people believe this Big Bang nonsense ### 1/5 — So dumb… *2021-11-15, version 1.0* This was a waste of time and resources, seeing as this was more of a flex on AR than a scientific documentary. These are theories being presented as fact. Disgusted by this app. ### 1/5 — Be careful! *2021-06-09, version 1.0* Application for the purpose of tracking other people and their location! Why use cameras if not for this ?! Don't download this app! ### 1/5 — Fantastic game *2020-08-06, version 1.0* Tooooooooooooo ### 1/5 — It all false the Big Bang is not real *2020-05-06, version 1.0* Gods the one who created are universe not the Big Bang ### 1/5 — Error *2020-02-27, version 1.0* The app is asking me to enable the camera in my phones settings. But while in the settings there is no option to enable the camera ### 1/5 — Inaccurate information *2019-10-24, version 1.0* This is a very cool, well thought out app, but the whole story is complete garbage. One of CERN’s physicists named Christian Smorra started in a press release, “All of our observations find a complete symmetry between matter and antimatter, which is why the universe should not actually exist.” This, among numerous other reasons are just examples of how we, arrogant human beings, just can’t accept the fact that we aren’t at the top of the chain, God is. ### 1/5 — A lot of potential for education, poor for people who are disabled. *2019-10-19, version 1.0* Hello, Would it be possible For you to begin with slowing the whole experience. I have a good grasp on the formation of the universe, but I can see where a less informed individual would struggle. Also could the have some sort of accessibility. So that people like myself who are wheelchair-bound and also have minor function can just sit back and let the program play out. I understand that the information is minimal so that the viewer can maintain attention a little bit more. But we need to entertain and inform the public and not rush them out of the door Regards, M.Davis ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2024-01-01, version 1.0* This is an incredible experience but is it no longer compatible with the latest IOS? It keeps asking for camera settings and no longer works. ### 5/5 — Jj *2023-07-19, version 1.0* I love it! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-01-19, version 1.0* SO GOOD ### 5/5 — Amazing and more to come please! *2022-08-23, version 1.0* Great visual accessing ar just on one’s phone. That’s a science lesson right there! Looking forward to more content to follow! ### 5/5 — Bring past to present *2021-11-21, version 1.0* Unbelievable app to understand our universe, Thank for CERN and Join Tilda Swinton, we need another app like BigBangAR but on Evolution biology and life. ### 5/5 — Great free science app *2021-11-15, version 1.0* I really like this app because it’s a great app for teaching students or anyone else that wants to learn more about space. I think you will like this app too because it’s free and there’s no ads to mess around with. If you like Science I recommend getting this great app. ### 5/5 — Works flawlessly *2021-11-10, version 1.0* I learned about many thanks and it was relaxing thanks! ### 5/5 — 10 out of ten *2021-11-10, version 1.0* It was a great app and I feel like they should make a vr one. They can teach kids so much about the universe ### 5/5 — Flippin AMAZING *2021-10-11, version 1.0* No ads, No skips, Just plain old simulation of the universe. (Seriously, the graphics are stunning, and the narration is amazing, Download this is you wanna get into cosmology.) ### 5/5 — Fantastic free, short experience you should try *2021-08-15, version 1.0* Nothing but praise for this cool, quick educational app about our galaxy. Super cool. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
