### 5/5 — Good

*2021-09-21*

Good

### 1/5 — I hate it

*2019-09-29*

I hate That’s it

### 5/5 — Very interesting!

*2018-10-01*

You just drag your finger across and you create a trail of fireworks! I just do it when I get completely bored and can’t think of anything to do at the moment. The app launches in about ten seconds and voila! I don’t have any problems with the app - it’s good!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2017-01-03*

Awesome

### 5/5 — Ads lag it

*2016-01-07*

I noticed the ads slow down the app. So if you are having lag issues try the upgrade it really helps. Overall a fun app to give a try.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2016-01-04, version 3.0*

This app is a visually stunning representation of chain reactions, depicted by animated atoms. Whether for explaining or for better understanding fission, playing around for the aesthetics or playing because it is genuinely fun, this app is worth your time, and the pro version (which i also own) is well worth the small amount charged for extra features, such as importing pictures - it really is cool and more fun than it may sound. Enjoy!

### 2/5 — Doesn't work right on IPad Air 2

*2015-05-28*

Menus don't work right on my iPad. Hasn't been updated for four years tho. At least it's free.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2014-11-10*

This app is just amazing, animations and all!
Tons of features that you can mess around with, such as tons of different colors and modes for the particles! Love the atoms that you can spawn in too! Overall, GREAT APP!!!!!

### 5/5 — Fun!!

*2013-08-05*

I really love this app, it seems to have a calming effect on me :)

### 4/5 — Interesting and pretty simulation

*2013-03-09, version 1.1*

I liked it! I'm not sure it taught me much physics, but that's not really the point, is it?

Sgt slam is wrong - nuclear fission does occur in nature, though it is rare. A natural nuclear fission reactor existed in Oklo in Gabon, Africa for a few hundred thousand years. A type of fission also occurs in supernovae.
