Only bug: it crashes and closes when I try to change properties of the sources. ### 4/5 — Geophysicist *2015-06-01* I found the “acoustic reflection” option useful for demonstrating seismic wave propagation to students. It is possible to simulate various imaging scenarios by moving the source around, and also by changing the location of the reflective interface. Fault diffractions can be simulated by changing the configuration of the reflector. ### 5/5 — Distracted Me During Physics *2015-02-20* #falc #physics #falconphysics ### 5/5 — Very Interesting *2015-01-17* I love this app as a way to gain insight about forces and nature, especially water. I appreciate what the developer has done to help us gain more appreciation for this. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2014-12-28* There are many example simulations. The explanations are short and helpful. An excellent app! Very helpful for visualization. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2014-04-14* Brilliant programming, beautiful effects! I am a physics student and love such things :D ### 5/5 — Fundamental. *2013-05-24* Falstad's applications are absolutely fantastic as a support to undergraduate physics learning. I strongly recommend this app as an essential understanding tool to any Physics student. Thanks a lot Falstad. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-05-14* Wish there were more apps like it. It's like a poor man FDTD software :) ### 5/5 — Wish I'd had this years ago! *2013-05-10* This type of tool would have been great for undergrad physics. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2013-03-28* Beautiful! Possibly the best teaching and visualization tool for wave theory yet. Here's to you. As an upgrade, maybe editable prisms? ### 5/5 — Great for physics teachers *2012-08-07* This will come in very handy when teaching my students about waves. Thanks! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bro i was made to download this and it hurt my eyes *2021-11-04* Lik the apps cool but it hurt my eyes where i looked at it for too long and my tgeacher made me download it ### 1/5 — Hey *2017-09-15* I like pizza ### 1/5 — I love seizures *2017-02-02* If you get seizures often, then get this if you want more seizures ### 1/5 — Idk *2014-05-10, version 1.1* For some reason i did not like it ### 1/5 — Stinks *2012-06-03* Wish I could give this 0 stars😒 this really stinks and I don't get it I'm deleting it right away ### 2/5 — Wavey;) *2017-09-20* Ngl imagine playing this whilst being wavey ### 3/5 — Teacher made me *2022-03-24, version 1.1.3* But it was fun. Did you get a seizure yet? It’s hypnotizing ### 3/5 — Icon is deceptive *2015-03-03* The icon show a really smooth hi-res graphic. I bought the full version, I know science is hard but AU$7.49 is still a bit steep. There is a slider for “Resolution” but you can’t move it, and additionally frustrating is there is no way to export the images besides doing a screenshot. ### 4/5 — Good *2023-10-20* This is а full version but the web version is free and the "full" version is $6 ### 4/5 — I was forced to *2020-05-04* Imagine being forced to download an app because the teacher made you... I won’t dislike the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool game! Not updated anymore tho :( *2026-07-14* Honestly, I think any game with lite in the title that isn’t a version with less storage and geometry dash would NEVER be updated ### 5/5 — Wave reflection and interference — interactive! *2022-05-12* Wonderful free app that shows clearly how waves propagate from various sources— point source, two sources, dipole, etc — then how the waves reflect and interfere. Several options to customize. You can also “stick your finger in the water” and generate new waves that mix in with the provided waves. You can see things that would be a lot of trouble to set up in a lab. Too bad several snotty schoolchildren were assigned to download it and failed to appreciate what they could learn and experience — their reviews are worthless. ### 5/5 — A-Levels *2022-01-07* As an A-level physics student, this really helps to visualise what I’m being told. It makes concepts clearer/easier to understand when you can visualise them. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-10-07* Used in my physics class ### 5/5 — A fun way to learn about wave behavior *2018-09-10* Made complex wave phenomena more intuitive. Great app, thanks! ### 5/5 — Hi Mr Taylor *2017-02-07* Hi Mr Taylor ### 5/5 — Falstad, Thank You *2016-06-21* This is re-incarnation of the web app I used in my studies and teaching! I think You could marked the wave modeling algorythm behind this app separately to some serious guys! ### 5/5 — Awesome app, not worth the premium price *2016-03-24* This version, being the free version, is only available for iPhones, however, since iPads have the ability to download iPhone apps, that is not a problem. I used version 1.1.1 on an iPad using iOS 9.2.1. The function of this application is to demonstrate the patterns of different types of waves under varying circumstances. I used this app to help with an assignment in my AP Physics class for further comprehension of the science behind waves, and how they react both with obstacles and one another. It was a very useful and easily comprehensible resource to help internalize the nature of waves. This application is highly recommended for physics students, or students of any class for that matter, that are studying wave patterns. It’s important to note that there is a paid version, however, since I have no experience with that version, I can’t fairly dictate whether or not it’s worth the price, being that it costs a relatively lofty $5.99. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-02-17, version 1.1.1* It is great mates get it ### 5/5 — Sick *2015-10-22* Mad app so sick --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
