### 4/5 — Custom material definition

*2012-11-17*

I quite like this app and its small database of materials. It's the best in App Store.
However, a small bug prevents you from using your custom material. You selection is always immediately overwritten by the last used material from the database.

### 4/5 — Au top!

Etudiante BTS Opticien cette appli est nikel pour réviser et pour les exos a la maison! Merci!!!

### 5/5 — Works Well

*2012-05-06*

This app includes a catalog of materials divided into gases, liquids, and solids. Clicking one gives you info about it and let's you select it for use as the incident or emergent material. Then go to the refraction tab to view a refraction simulation for the materials you've selected. You can change the frequency of light and the incident angle has a draggable handle so you can sweep through various positions and watch how the emergent angle varies in response.

### 5/5 — Great for optics students
