User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★Love it for my kids!
This app has been great for my kids! The kids LOVE exploring all the simulations - playing with circuits, gases, atoms, prism, numbers, equations, and on and on. I LOVE that it is educational screentime! It’s so easy to use, and it even works on long trips when we don’t have internet. Overall, it’s been a go to app for us - for play or for school!
★★★★★Awesome update!
This app is perfect for running PhET simulations on your phone, especially if you need to access them offline. The scrolling was a bit laggy before, so I'm happy that was fixed. And it's super cool that the translated versions are included now - I'm sure this will help out classrooms that use iPhones or iPads. Thanks PhET!
★★★★★Highly Recommend
If you are at all interested in science, math, or chemistry this app is worth getting. It has a suite of simulations that keep the subjects fun and interesting. Each sim works like an exploratory tool that you get to play around with.
Also the developers keep updating the sims and adding new ones, so that is cool.
Would definitely recommend for students or parents looking to get their kids into science.
★★★★★Fantastic
These simulations do a great job letting students interact with and discover concepts for themselves. Really flexible tool.
★★★★★Great resource for teaching/learning!
Wow, these simulations cover a lot of ground. It’s nice to be able to have them on mobile devices now (I was generally going to the website before, which is also quite good).
