## Ripple Tank Description

### ***** "Super Mario rpg"
Super Mario rpg
-- haydoun, 2024-02-28

### ***** "Helpful for physics turoring"
Thank you for this app. It is helpful for tutoring high school physics.
-- Mgncc, 2017-03-03

### ***** "WOW, WOW, WOW, GIVE THIS APP 10 stars!!!!"
Beautiful app that personifies cause and effect in such a beautiful way. This truly is a mind boggling app worth the price of admission.
-- Oinjjko, 2017-01-25

### ***** "Blow your socks off, mind-bogglingly awesome visualizer"
Words fail me. If you have any idea what this is do not hesitate. Brilliant educational software.
-- WerdNurd I Am, 2014-11-16

### *---- "Not very good"
This is so not worth 6 bucks waste of money
-- Stlmomma84, 2014-08-16

### ***** "Love it - so many uses ! Please read"
Would there be a way to incorporate magnetic charges & gravity fields into such an app. Essentially a hybrid of another amazing app called electrons or one called ions - as we need more "workshop" types of apps that could allow us to really experiment in a "virtual lab" as there is a vacuum of apps like the one you created which gives us a kind of sandbox to experiment with scientific concepts. Plus adding more features as mentioned above would almost be a necessity as so many of these scientific  concepts overlap.  We need a sandbox lab app that would allow us explore these concepts in a fun way such as how you made this app.    The kind of app you made is exactly what people want - a place to experiment and unleash their creativity and learn at the same time. I'm so glad I found this app. I just wish the above could be added.
-- Ice pro, 2014-04-06

### ***** "Update fixed the bugs"
I love this app for teaching, it's such a wonderful simulation.

Thanks for the updated comparability with iOS 7!
-- deathraylabs, 2014-01-30

### ****- "fabulous"
great port of a great app.
it's a bit hard to control on the iphone's little screen.
wave mechanics ftw !
-- expert mouser, 2012-07-28

### ***** "great"
The criticism that the graphics is terrible is not justified.  This is a real physics simulation, with each pixel's evolution depending on its neighbors every time step. You are seeing the simulation with space broken up into bite sized pieces, as befits a computer algorithm. What you see is what is happening in the algorithm. 

 I do wish there was an option to use more pixels, as there is on the web version in Java, but it is true that would slow things down.
-- quantarick, 2011-09-02

### *---- "Terrible"
Bad graphics and hidden ads for adult viewing material? Not sure if it was this app but my iPad has only done it when I opened this garbage. Rip off either way...
