Very nice!!

I'm a physics teacher and this is the only physics app I've seen that incorporates physics education research into its pages.

There are motion maps, lots of graphs, and good concise explanations along with interactive graphs and review questions.

I especially like that students aren't simply given a way to plug numbers into boxes and get answers. This app actually teaches the basic concepts.

It's not perfect but I really like it!

Well done

This application provides great animations accompanied by thorough, conceptually complete descriptions. It can be easy to lose your place in each lesson, and the transitions are not the most intuitive, but still, this application is great and I'm looking forward to other physics apps, like for electricity and magnetism.
