## Universe in a Nutshell Description
The range of size in the universe, from the tiniest particles to the epic galaxies - we take you on a journey of size that lets you explore it all with a single swipe. How big is a planet, compared to a human? And how small is an atom really? You can’t fully wrap your head around the scope of things by just reading about them – so this app lets you experience them in comparison to get a feeling for their true scale. By simply swiping you can zoom in and out all the way from the world of fundamental particles up to the largest stars at the edge of the observable universe. 

Seamless zooming between the scales of 10^-35 meters to 10^26 meters (no math required) 

Amazing fun facts for various scale levels, like the smallest bacterium and the largest black hole 

Tap any object for an explanation of what it is and how it works

Beautifully animated illustration of more than 250 objects

Original Kurzgesagt music to complement your experience

## Universe in a Nutshell Reviews in United States

### ***** "Very Nice!"
I like this because not only is it educational, the calming music is on the spot! We are big and small and in the middle of all of this too. I would recommend this app and thousands of others will too, so if you want to learn and be relaxed at the same time, I would recommend this app.
-- 500DKarr, 2024-11-14

### ***** "I wanna tell you something astonishing!"
I memorized all the United States capitals! So I can say them without cheating! I also memorized the presidents and can say them in order! I memorized how long one day and one year is for each planet and dwarf planet! Could you not say “millions and billions of years”? The universe isn’t 4.5 billion years old! It is 6-10 thousand years old. It was created by God! He made the universe is 7 days. THERE WAS NO STUPID BIG BANG!! THE BIG BANG ISN’T REAL!! IT’S JUST THAT STUPID PEOPLE THINK IT IS!! But trust me, the Big Bang isn’t real!! Come to God and get saved by Jesus today! Here’s a Bible verse for if you’re worried: Matthew 6:25-34; Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry for itself. And also there’s a swear word in colossal squid!! Why? The Bible also says not to swear!
-- T-boy 2024, 2024-10-29

### ***** "I love it"
From the biggest to the smallest, we see how little atoms are compared to us, and the enormous scale of the observable universe. This is fascinating and interesting, and I’ll always come back to it.
-- No IQ Gamer, 2024-09-14

### ***** "A true gift"
You mean I can spend years reading through bits of information about things from Planck length to observable universe. The scale of creation in my pocket to entertain myself and children is absolutely amazing. Thank you for teaching me lovely facts that make me appreciate our place in everything through some of the most satisfying animation styles out there!!! Also my kiddos have been loving the channel as well. Thank you kurzgesagt for purging my house of Mickey Mouse clubhouse.
-- itslifenotagrave, 2024-08-10

### ***** "Nice"
Fun little app that lets you aimlessly learn a bit while passing time, and it doubles as a donation to Kurzgesagt.
-- NuclearCell9, 2024-07-27

### ***** "Please add Uranus"
I really love the app I just wish it had Uranus
-- stand-off ocean, 2024-07-22

### ***** "Please add more?"
I really need an update, so could you add Uranus, things bigger than obeservable universe, Inside Out 2 characters and more?
-- hill673, 2024-07-09

### ***** "Very good but needs an update"
Overall 10/10 app but there are a few outdated facts. Also, The human DNA one contradicts itself. When you click on DNA it says, the total length is 57 billion km. If you click on total human dna it says it is 20.4 billion km
-- Kyle_is_cool, 2024-07-04

### ****- "Ya don't say?"
Well thanks for the lengths but I still need you to add the planet Uranus
-- Tyfhghghbjfgf, 2024-06-08

### ***** "Suggestion"
I Love the game. Perfect in every way. Just, you could have put 3-D Models of the objects to add on to it.
-- Such nix, 2024-04-16

### ***** "Amazing!"
This app is amazing thanks! although I do want something in it I really would like if you could add what the sun will look like when it becomes a red giant thanks. review by Gino
-- k stiuhthkcvx,, 2024-04-13

### ***** "Yummy"
Yummy
-- The cool person guy, 2024-03-13

### ***** "Amazing App but some suggestions"
This app is by kurzgesagt thank you kurzgesagt // suggestions: you can add eris, makemake, Sedna dwarf planet, Haumea , Gonggong dwarf planet, leleākūhouna Sednioid and asteroid 2014 FE72 // moons too: you can add moon Io, moon Callisto, moon titan, moon Mimas, moon lapetus, moon enceladus and moon Dione // Uranus moon you should add // Ariel, titania, puck, Francisco // neptunian moons you should add: Triton, Nereid and proteus // you can add these rest of the moons: Styx moon, Nix moon, hydra moon, Kerberos moon, MK-2 Moon, Xiangliu moon , namaka moon and Hi’laka moon // note you also can add custom content too // Also Uranus is missing! Please add uranus // The music is relaxing like that it doesn’t make me tired thank you kurzgesagt // Why I bought it because my brother bought watch dogs, watch dogs bad blood, watch dogs legion, I thought the bad blood logo looked like kurzgesagt and because it’s comparison and facts

Also you haven’t updated this app in a while so pls update again
-- catsEatBugs, 2024-02-11

### ***-- "Love this app, but it’s abandoned"
Kurzgesagt promised to update this app for years, but it only got a handful of updates before being seemingly abandoned. Sad.

It’s a great app worth getting. Just disappointed it hasn’t been updated for 2 years.
-- DairyFiend, 2024-01-29

### ***** "Amazing"
Good game add it like subscribe
-- —k-k-k, 2023-12-17

### ***** "More stuff"
This app has been out for a while, being a paid app I really feel like you guys could just keep adding more and more stuff for scale, maybe the option to compare 2 or 3 things at once (human next to a star etc) I love it but adding more stuff is the way to go
-- Rexisonfire, 2023-11-03

### ***** "Amazing! But where’s Uranus?"
My son and I absolutely love this app! He looks at for hours. However, my son is a connoisseur of the solar system and almost immediately noticed that Uranus was missing! If you could please add this, it would be amazing!
-- Sh14262, 2023-10-07

### ***** "If you love stuff from big to small get it"
I have always been interested in atoms and in space
And I always loved watching in a nutshell videos
So I decided to get this app
It’s amazing if you love stuff from big to small 
Amazing experience 10 out of 10
-- maverick 212, 2023-10-03

### ***** "Kurzgesagt Universe"
Universe in a Nutshell is packed with astounding detail about objects at every scale in our universe. Great for visualizing the scale of everything.
-- JaredLKnowlton, 2023-09-25

### ***** "Best app ever"
My only main problem was that for 1-2 weeks the app was apparently banned in the US And a few suggestions/questions The largest bacteria is outdated Why isn’t Uranus included? On Saturn it describes its rings as delicious? Is that a mistake? Maybe you could include Eris? Or haumea? (Dwarf planets)
-- craxy head, 2023-09-01
