Ratings and reviews

Menus don't seem adapted to mobile. It seems like it's just loading webpages. The first menu you can read, and then everything else is too small to read. An awkward zoom function exists somewhere in the sidebar, but it either does nothing, or zooms in extremely close so you can't read it, or only affects some menus. Can't use the app. The idea looks good, but the usage is impossible.

Just what it says on the tin: simulations of various concepts in maths, physics, and chemistry. Well-executed and pedagogical (though will require a teacher to explain the ideas first). I think the idea is that there should be reading material available in the app, but none appeared when I swiped left. Also, a mobile screen is going to be too small for interaction, use an iPad instead. I'm also surprised that Swedish is not a supported language.

This simulates almost any ideas of any STEM subjects out their, a very good way of studying by visualization.
