About

SeaLevels

This app provides an educational tool to inform users about the realities of rising sea levels and their impact on humanity. It aims to foster understanding and encourage action by presenting scientific consensus on climate change in an accessible format.

Highlights
  • Environmental education
  • Climate change information
  • Sea level rise data
  • Informational tool
  • Promotes awareness

The Sea Levels Project was born out of a love for the environment, a concern over inaction, and a lack of simple to use educational tools. Almost all scientists agree that the global climate is changing, and that sea levels are rising, with an increase in the rate of rise very likely to be caused by humans. When it comes to action it is of no consequence whether the cause of climate change is man-made or natural - it still poses an increasing threat to humanity.  We believe that education is an essential step for us as a species to find a solution. Whilst no mobile application could ever hope provide an answer we can help by providing an informational tool.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: SeaLevels at Free against Interactive Physics Simulator's $4.99. SeaLevels also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1). Interactive Physics Simulator's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

SeaLevels is free to download; Interactive Physics Simulator costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Interactive Physics Simulator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SeaLevels has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SeaLevels ships an update every 7 months, Interactive Physics Simulator weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
