Waste of money, don't buy this app for kids

I wish Rube had seen one of his drawings come to life the way it's animated in this app... Very cool.

This app is very good at discussing the basics of the subject in a fun way. All the Kids Discover apps are great. Check out the other too.

### 5/5 — Very cool...

*2013-03-28, version 1.0*

I'm not one to write reviews on things, but this is really a neat app. lots of wonderful photos, great animations, and more than enough information about how machines work. Kids will love this... maybe a lot of parents will too. Time to find me a simple lever.

An app that is able to explain difficult concepts to my son and he's having fun while learning, I'm sold! Great app, very happy with my purchase.

Such a complicated subject presented in such a straightforward, fun way, with cartoons and animations that bring life to the simple machine. Great app!

### 5/5 — Simple machines made, simple!

I remember struggling thru tough concepts like fulcrum, load, and effort in school. This is packed with animations/cartoons that make these concepts easy to learn and remember. Nice app!

### 5/5 — Fun look at basic science

*2013-03-13, version 1.0*

Great app--it makes some complicated ideas so easy to understand with pictures and animations that are also just plain fun.  Loved the Rube Goldberg contraption.  My kids played with that over and over.
