Scientify turns Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Maths into something you do, not something you memorise. Every topic is a hands-on mini game where you predict what will happen, try it, and understand why. Built on one simple idea: think first, then act, and you will remember it. LEARN BY DOING, NOT MEMORISING - Predict first labs. Guess the result, then drag the sliders to see if you were right. - Connect the concepts builder. Link cause and effect to build real understanding. - Virtual Chemistry Lab. Predict the reaction, then watch the test tube fizz, change colour, or flash. - Sort and classify challenges that make you reason, not recall. GAMES THAT TEACH REAL SCIENCE - Boss Challenges. Beat the clock with limited lives and combo streaks. - Space Science. Fly a probe into orbit, bend light around a black hole, race a ship toward light speed and watch time slow down, and tour the Solar System. - Missions. Design a roller coaster that survives the loop, escape a lab by aiming a laser, dock a spacecraft using real inertia, build a bridge on a budget, and crack a physics crime scene. A SMART BUILT IN TUTOR Stuck on something? The in app tutor gives helpful hints based on exactly what is on your screen. It nudges you to think instead of handing over the answer, and it works across every subject. PROGRESS THAT KEEPS YOU GOING - Earn points and climb 22 space themed ranks, from Stardust to Singularity. - Compete on the leaderboard. - Unlock topics step by step and prove yourself with cumulative Mastery exams. PACKED WITH CONTENT Hundreds of interactive modules and thousands of questions across four subjects. - Physics. Forces, energy, electricity, light, waves, momentum, space and more. - Chemistry. Atoms, bonding, reactions, acids and bases, the mole, organic chemistry. - Biology. Cells, genetics, enzymes, the human body, ecology, evolution. - Maths. Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, coordinate geometry, sequences and more. WHO IT IS FOR Designed for students in grades 8 to 12 and anyone preparing for CBSE, IGCSE and similar science and maths courses. Great for self study, revision, and classroom use.

About

Howology

Learn science by asking questions. Type anything, from why the sky is blue to what happens inside a black hole, and Howology builds you a short course on it in about a minute. Lessons, a science quiz, flashcards and an AI tutor, all in one app. No account needed to start. Most science apps give you a fixed list of topics. Howology works the other way around. You ask, it builds. ASK ANYTHING. GET A COURSE. Physics, chemistry, biology, space, earth science, medicine, engineering, computer science. Type a topic and watch Howology research it, write the lessons and put the quiz together. You get short lessons, key terms, worked examples and clear diagrams. If another learner already asked the same thing, the course opens straight away. FOUR LEVELS FOR EVERY TOPIC Explorer, Thinker, Scientist or Mastermind. Four quick questions set your starting level, and it keeps adjusting as you play. Course too easy? Go deeper from one dropdown. Too hard? Go the other way. A SCIENCE QUIZ THAT FITS YOU Nine question types: multiple choice, true or false, matching, ordering, fill in the blank, equations, label the diagram, photo questions and little simulations. Use a hint when you're stuck. Tap "Too hard" or "Too easy" and the difficulty follows you. Get one wrong and the explanation is right there. AN AI TUTOR THAT MAKES YOU THINK Stuck on a question? Ask Pip, the AI tutor. It asks you the next question or gives you one hint, but it never hands over the answer. So what you learn actually stays with you. Ask about any lesson, in plain language, at your level. FLASHCARDS, 3D MODELS AND EXPERIMENTS Flip through flashcards for every course. Spin a 3D atom or planet. Slide a force to see F = ma, swing a pendulum, mix colours on the pH scale. STUDY SMARTER Exam mode mixes ten questions from across your whole library. Weak-spot practice builds a set from the skills you struggle with most. A review list shows what you picked and the right answer. Your stats track study time, accuracy, and your strongest and weakest topics. MOTIVATION THAT PLAYS FAIR Set a daily goal, build a streak, finish daily quests, collect achievements and climb a weekly league made of real learners. Energy counts questions, not mistakes. Every question costs one unit, right or wrong, so getting one wrong never costs you extra. Run out and your quiz just pauses where you left it. Energy refills on its own, and streak freezes cover the days you miss. HOWOLOGY PLUS (OPTIONAL) Free covers plenty: every course you open, 5 new topics a day and 20 tutor messages a day. Plus lifts the limits with unlimited energy, no ads, unlimited Ask Anything and tutor chats, real photos from NASA, ESA and Wikimedia Commons with credits, and streak insurance that repairs up to three missed days a month. Choose monthly or yearly. HONEST ABOUT AI Courses and tutor replies are generated with AI (OpenAI models) and every course is labelled "Made with AI" or "Reviewed". AI can get things wrong, so double-check anything important. We only store your age band, usage analytics is opt-in, and you can export or delete your data inside the app. Subscription Details:ย  Howology Monthly/Annual Subscription.ย  A subscription fee of $6.99 per month or 39.99 per year will be charged to your credit card via your iTunes account.ย  Your subscription will automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.ย  Once activated, the subscription cannot be canceled for the current billing cycle.You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime through your iTunes account settings.
