This is amazing

I don’t know why, but i love this rhyme even though it is learning.

Science Stories

Thank you for the "ROCK STORY". I often spend time with my grandchildren talking walks along the shores of the ocean, lakes, rivers, as well as, swimming and snorkeling.
I've often told them of the treasures found at the bottom, mostly ROCKS AND THE STORIES OF THEIR LIVES if you look for them. Consequently they now have small boxes full of treasures. Including SEA GLASS, DRIFTWOOD and rocks of many different shapes, sizes, colors and composition. Having a collection of books with pictures with detailed descriptions of their origins and how they traveled to the PACIFIC NORTHWEST. Your short story helped my long explanations make sense to them and our hunting exciting. Fun and educational.

This app rocks!

As a former middle school science teacher, I’m going to be recommending this to friends who teach geology - what an entertaining supplement. Fun for us rockhounds, too.

Well done

Keep up the good work, lad. We need sharp, driven, innovative recruits in the sciences.
Graduate school awaits.

Boring

It was broing

Excellent

Great app! Makes learning fun for all ages, even adults.

Weird

It is very boring it is a story that as a kid I would never actually read it

HI MR HOARD

HI

WOO

I absolutely love this app! I never understood the rock cycle before this. But with this app, I get it now! Wow! What a game changer! I absolutely recommend this app and all the other apps that this company has made.

Cute

It's cute and it's nice to have a different take on the rock cycle. The shake thing doesn't work for me but pushing next does so no big deal. 4 stars because it needs more graphics. It could really be something truly special.

Good but shaking phrases annoying

I find I can't read the descriptions because the shaking bit down at the bottom -- I have to cover it show I try to go through it.

Great app helps lots

This app really helped me with my labs in science

Lovely

After one story play through, I'm struck by the humble beauty! It's so unusual and fantastic to see narrative, poetry, and science.

Good for teaching

Teaching juniors in a rock club is non-stop search for material. This is a good aid for teaching the rock cycle. Plus at the beginning there's a great poem written by a teen that is educational and inspiring. Our are kids range in age from 6 to 15 enjoyed the poem as well as the adults in the club.

Some ideas

Pretty good could use more fun games that appeal to 5-15. Make a big update for it and make more fun games for it

Excellent!

I'm a geology major, and I found this app informative, entertaining, and fun! I like the interactive bits, and the poem is just adorable. I would love to see this expanded to include more types of rocks, maybe even add a choose-your-own adventure type aspect to it. Great job so far!

Cute for kids

Very cute.. I would use this in a school setting to explain the rock cycle.

Awesome!!

Great helped me study

Really great, but....

I can't get the app to read it to me. All my settings are fine. I love how you can choose different items in the story.

Only gave it four stars- will be 5 when I get the sound going.

I'm amazed AND informed!

This guy has taken his math, geology and writing education, and with his programming skills, has created a truly unique explanation of rock! I'm awed!

Not only that, but having explored to learn more about who he is, I'm even more awed by this. HE IS STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL and has written this and other valuable programs for the purpose of helping other students grasp these topics.

This is a person who is living the last lines of his verse:

"But learn one thing from this rhyme.
You can be anything, just take your time.
So always overcome your fears
Even if it takes a thousand years"

Psst... Venkat... Fix the broken "survey" link on the first page of the rock story.
