Not sure if it was this app but my iPad has only done it when I opened this garbage. Rip off either way... ### 4/5 — Old app *2024-11-19* Works on iOS 17, but has a 9:16 screen size. Since this was never updated in a long time, you should add iPhone 16 support. Also, maybe reduce the price to 1.49 in Australia? The price is getting out of hand for an app made in the early-mid 2010's. ### 4/5 — fabulous *2012-07-28* great port of a great app. it's a bit hard to control on the iphone's little screen. wave mechanics ftw ! ### 5/5 — Super Mario rpg *2024-02-28* Super Mario rpg ### 5/5 — Helpful for physics turoring *2017-03-03* Thank you for this app. It is helpful for tutoring high school physics. ### 5/5 — WOW, WOW, WOW, GIVE THIS APP 10 stars!!!! *2017-01-25* Beautiful app that personifies cause and effect in such a beautiful way. This truly is a mind boggling app worth the price of admission. ### 5/5 — Best App – Ever. *2016-04-25* Best App – Ever. ### 5/5 — ? *2015-02-17* Great fun while learning about waves Hypnotic experience ### 5/5 — Blow your socks off, mind-bogglingly awesome visualizer *2014-11-16* Words fail me. If you have any idea what this is do not hesitate. Brilliant educational software. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it - so many uses ! Please read *2014-04-06* Would there be a way to incorporate magnetic charges & gravity fields into such an app. Essentially a hybrid of another amazing app called electrons or one called ions - as we need more "workshop" types of apps that could allow us to really experiment in a "virtual lab" as there is a vacuum of apps like the one you created which gives us a kind of sandbox to experiment with scientific concepts. Plus adding more features as mentioned above would almost be a necessity as so many of these scientific concepts overlap. We need a sandbox lab app that would allow us explore these concepts in a fun way such as how you made this app. The kind of app you made is exactly what people want - a place to experiment and unleash their creativity and learn at the same time. I'm so glad I found this app. I just wish the above could be added. ### 5/5 — Update fixed the bugs *2014-01-30* I love this app for teaching, it's such a wonderful simulation. Thanks for the updated comparability with iOS 7! ### 5/5 — Waves! *2012-01-08* I loved the free one so much I coughed up the money for this paid app. Meh. Aside from custom colour schemes, there is nothing extra. I'd stick with the free app, which is absolutely great!! ### 5/5 — great *2011-09-02* The criticism that the graphics is terrible is not justified. This is a real physics simulation, with each pixel's evolution depending on its neighbors every time step. You are seeing the simulation with space broken up into bite sized pieces, as befits a computer algorithm. What you see is what is happening in the algorithm. I do wish there was an option to use more pixels, as there is on the web version in Java, but it is true that would slow things down. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
