So here's my honest take on PhET Simulations. I've tried a bunch of educational apps and this one's pretty darn good. The simulations are really well-made and cover a ton of topics. And it's not just for students either - I'm an adult and I've found it super helpful for brushing up on science and math concepts. The offline mode is a game-changer, and the language options are great. My only gripe is the ads, but you can pay to remove them. Overall, it's a must-have for anyone who wants a fun, hands-on way to learn.

Description

I’ve been using PhET Simulations for a couple months now. It’s basically a collection of interactive science and math simulations made by experts. Pretty solid app if you’re into educational stuff.

Here’s what you can do: there’s sims on everything from atoms to energy to multiplication. You can play with them offline, which is super handy. It’s got a bunch of different languages too, which is great if you’re bilingual. Oh, and you can favorite the sims you like and make your own custom collection.

Look, if you’re a teacher or a student who’s into learning through simulations, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the ads can get kinda annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.

Great simulator of all times and I recommend lectures and students to take advantage of this app and explore their knowledge in STEM education. Please kindly update it with more...

No physics teacher should be without this app. Worth the tiny donation for the circuit builder alone, let alone the warm fuzzy feeling you get for supporting this extraordinary gift...

The app is very good and their website is amazing, but I think an option to change the language is missing.
