## PhET Simulations Description
Engage in learning science and math with the award-winning PhET simulations! Whether understanding atoms, exploring energy, or mastering multiplication, there is a sim for every learner. Perfect for at home, in class, or on the road, this app delivers all PhET HTML5 sims (over 75 sims) in one easy-to-use package.

Developed by experts at the University of Colorado Boulder, PhET sims are used by millions of students every year. The PhET iPad app delivers these exclusive features:
• Offline play: learn on the bus or at the park without a WiFi connection.
• Multiple languages: app translate in many languages (great for bilingual learners).
• Favorites: pick your favorite sims and create your own custom collection.
• Automatic updates: get the latest HTML5 sims as soon as they are released.
• Easy sorting: find the right sims for you.
• Fullscreen: maximize your screen real estate for optimal sim exploration.

PARENTS: Engage your child in science and math discovery.
TEACHERS: Your favorite HTML5 sims at your fingertips, even without internet access. 
ADMINISTRATORS: Optimized for school use, so your teachers will be seamlessly up to date. 
STUDENTS: Tell your parents there’s an exciting app for learning science and math.

Note: The app does not include PhET’s Java or Flash sims. In addition, although we are currently working on improving the accessibility of our sims, most of the sims included in this app do not include keyboard navigation or screen reader access. As accessible sims become available, they will be updated within the app.

Proceeds from the app support the development of more HTML5 sims. On behalf of the PhET team and the students whose lives you have helped improve — Thank you!

So are only adults allowed to comment on this app or me as an eight-year-old can comment?? Someone write a review answering this question?
-- Tsegi, 2025-01-10

### ***** "One addition"
Please, please please please please make a particle accelerator simulation.
-- blockrocks, 2024-10-31

### *---- "Normal mode sim"
If you arrived here from M.I.T. open courseware looking for the normal mode simulator don’t waste your time, it isn’t included.
-- peregryn1, 2024-02-23

### ***** "Amazing"
Hello, I am a student and was first introduced to PhET lab on a web browser for science and just got the app and it is better then on the web browser, on the app it is very easy to find simulations you liked because you can favorite them and then just have only favorites show, the app is definitely worth the 99 cents.
-- Oceanickolas, 2021-02-19

### ***** "Science Teacher Approved!"
I can’t offer enough applause and appreciation for what a valuable and wonderful resource this is. The variety and quality of the simulations continues to grow and has been invaluable in my teaching practice for many years. Keep up the good work!
-- scimansays, 2021-01-26

### ***** "Its worth it!"
This is a very good learning tool if your not sure you want it you now know its worth it! Get it! Its very good for learning.
-- OHNOBUSTER, 2020-06-18

### ***** "Great for kids and students"
Highly recommend for parents and teachers as tool to help kids explore math and science concepts. 

Great app!
-- Shud d, 2020-04-29

### ***** "Invaluable App for Student Learning"
I normally use PhET simulations within my Nearpod presentations but downloaded the app specifically for my son in third grade.
I love that we can access the math sims offline so he can practice on his device anytime. And I found out the app will translate (at least to Spanish) if you change the device language setting! 😱♥️🌎
-- michelle🤓♥️🚀, 2020-02-04

### ***** "PhET in different languages!"
The best app for science and math education out there! Love that all the translations are now available on the app!
-- ztruwyllek, 2020-01-12

### *---- "Ugh"
Didn’t have plate tectonics or the hole reason I needed it
-- gfdfyij37(37;36(:, 2020-01-07

### ***** "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).
-- jq7x, 2019-12-20

### ***** "Fantastic"
These simulations do a great job letting students interact with and discover concepts for themselves. Really flexible tool.
-- DistinctlyPhysics, 2019-12-19

### ***** "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.
-- Denz1994, 2019-12-18

### ***** "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!
-- Chris-ncc1701d, 2019-12-16

### ***** "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!
-- PhET Mom, 2019-12-13

### ***** "Switch languages"
This app allows me to easily run the sims without an internet connection or when WiFi goes down. And now that the sims are all translated, I can switch between English and Spanish by changing my iphone language. Totally worth the (very) low price.
-- Alderic631, 2019-12-13

### ***** "Fantastic for teachers!"
I have loved PhET for years as a teacher—they’re the best tool I’ve found for teaching complex topics in a way that addresses the vast majority of learning needs in a classroom. The app is super easy to use, and runs perfectly for me. The sims are the perfect combination of fun and educational. It’s amazing to see learners with a wide range of strengths and struggles light up when they discover something new in a PhET simulation. As a former physics teacher, PhET sims are some of the most important tools in my teaching arsenal, and it’s useful to be able to use them on my phone, or to have students use them on their phones! I also love that the sims have been translated into many different languages, as it increases their accessibility to students with a variety of different native languages.
-- Taylor Want, 2019-12-09

### ***** "Amazing!!!"
This app is really great. I have loved PhET for years. They create such intuitive, comfortable, and interesting sims. I’m so glad that they put all their new sims into an app! Keep up the good work PhET.
-- scienceForAll, 2019-12-05

### ***** "PhET is Phenomenal"
It can be tricky as an educator to find high quality, hands-on, and interactive science and math resources for students that are also really easy to implement in the classroom. PhET sims have always been a reliable and wonderful educational tool that encourages kids to WANT to think critically and be challenged. They are also really fun and playful! I am so grateful that there is now an app that makes PhET sims even more accessible and available.  Highly recommend to any teacher and anyone with kids!
