Journeys of Invention

Hi, so most of the simulations don’t work on my iPad gen 9, they get cut off and I can’t see half of the screen! Other then that the app is great, if you fix that tiny problem then it would be 5 stars

I had great hopes for this very interesting topic. Unfortunately on my iPad Pro 11”, lines of type overlap on most of the text pages, making it very frustrating to try to read. Developer should fix this to make it a good ap.

This game is entertaining and educational at the same time😎🏫 great idea a little expensive but still cool just I think you could either make it more interactive or you could add more inventions!!

As always with Touch Press, the implementation is polished, with some clever interactive bits (e.g., a focusable simulation of Hooke's microscope). Unfortunately, the content is lacking in depth. For example, the entry on "Human Wart Virus" mentions the use of an electron microscope--a key invention in many fields of science--but fails to say anything about how it works. Similarly, the entry "Air Pump" shows an early version and describes its use in killing animals, but fails to say anything about how the pump operates. This app might pique the interest of a youngster, but he or she wouldn't learn much from it--it's more eye candy than enlightenment.

This is a fabulous app for interactively exploring the history and workings of science and technology! It's a shame that the app was apparently introduced as "free" with in-app purchases. It must have really been just a very limited demo, requiring a purchase to unlock the full feature set. Such a preview is not a bad business model, but judging from the many one star reviews, people thought there should be more in the free version. Maybe some thought it was a game too -- it's not, but it is a lot of fun! If you have ever enjoyed visiting a science museum, you will love this app. It's like one of those DK science books with amazing photos, but at $10, much cheaper and full of interactive and multimedia content. One of the best uses of iPad I have seen.

$10, it should be free, it is not fun to not experience all these gadgets, I got bored 2 minutes after I downloaded the game, a waste of money

All it does is tell you to upgrade. Annoying, poor marketing. Doesn't even give you a taste first

Just a very brief trial before being asked for $10. HATE this tactic. App is nice visually but really? For $10 bucks it better be able to do dishes and babysit my kids. Delete.

Downloaded the app. Nice picture that's why I give it one star! It is a teaser for you to purchase the full applications. I wouldn't waste my time. Already deleted!

This seemed like it would be interesting but was lacking in any detail about the objects in their description and history. You can only look at a few items then the $9.99 nag screen appears. Deleted it.
