User reviews

So much fun-

I got this for Christmas, and just got everything set up a bit ago. I've been playing for about 10 minutes. Very fun! Animals are adorable.

Fun...Ish?

It is fun but it is IMPOSSIBLE to get fruit. They want seem to want me to audition for a Broadway musical in the spot light and roast my scensors over an open fire. It is CRAZY. But the animals are cute.

Horrible sensors

These sensors simply don’t work. Quiet rooms are 80db, refrigerators are 72 degrees ... you get the idea. I work with sensors for a living but I’m regretting making this purchase for my kids. Very poor purchase.

Horrible

Base station shut off when ever I put pod in. The pods never stopped blinking green.

Just no

App crashes whenever I open it

FAQ

What is Sensors Alive?

Sensors Alive is a gamified physics lab app that works with an experimental kit. It allows users to bring abstract physics phenomena like light, sound, and heat to life by using real-world sensor data to create and care for unique creatures.

Does Sensors Alive require the experimental kit?

Yes, the Sensors Alive app functions are only fully usable in combination with the Sensor Pods and Base Station from the experimental kit. The app itself is free, but the physical kit is required for all features.

How does Sensors Alive teach physics?

The app teaches physics by allowing users to collect data from physical sensors (temperature, light, sound) and see how that data directly influences the attributes of the creatures they create. This provides an intuitive understanding of measurement and scientific principles.

What kind of creatures can I create in Sensors Alive?

You can create a diverse array of creatures based on sensor readings. For example, low temperatures might result in creatures with long hair, while low light levels could lead to creatures with large eyes. The combination of sensor data and in-app settings allows for seemingly infinite creature variations.

What devices support Sensors Alive?

Sensors Alive is supported on iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices. It is designed for Apple's mobile operating system.

What is the age rating for Sensors Alive?

Sensors Alive has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for young children to explore physics concepts in a fun and engaging way.

How often is Sensors Alive updated?

The app was last updated on January 13, 2020, to version 1.03. While updates may not be frequent, the core functionality is designed to be stable.

Does Sensors Alive have ads?

No, Sensors Alive does not contain advertisements. As a free application, it provides an uninterrupted learning experience without any ad interruptions.
