Reviews for Universe in a Nutshell

Kyle Griffiths

Excellent educational app, but some sections could do with a little proof reading because I've not used it for too long but I've already seen a few typos that can range from being obvious, to completely changing the meaning of a sentence. Other than that, the audio/visual experience (I love kurzgesagtz' art style) is great. I just can't give it a perfect review because of the small typos! When they're fixed, I'll upgrade to 5.

This app is amazing! Very easy to use and is filled with good artwork and facts. Highly recommend it. The only thing I would change would be to make smoke come out of 3 smokestacks instead of 4 on the Titanic to make it historically correct. (Edit) I am so impressed, they actually changed the number of smokestacks with smoke in them in their new update. You guys are amazing at detail. Thanks!

Those of us old enough to remember the 'Scale of the Universe' which was flash based would remember spending hours on end zooming in an out of different orders of magnitude and awing at the effort to have put that together. Kurzgesagt have taken that and moulded it into something so familiar to all of us, their beautiful comical approach with delightful animations and just the right amount of information to keep you wanting more. Consider this app as a starting point into much needed knowledge of scales of things and why things are the way they are. Highly recommended. Especially if you have young inquisitive minds you want to grow. But dont be fooled, this is just as much if not even more fun for adults!

Without a doubt, easily the most fun and educational app I've tried.

AMAZING...in a nutshell. I love everything from these folks! I saw this in a video and had to have it, I was so excited and it hasn't disappointed in the least! I just wish there was a way to go to the videos you have of a thing, if available, when you click on said thing. Like with the bacteriophage, there should be an additional link to watch your video on it. I'm sure you geniuses, or is it genuisi or geni, have it in the works. And one or two, or a dozen birds wouldn't hurt. Thanks!!

Amazing app. Tons of information but I would not expect anything else from you guys 😊. Quality & presentation always the best. The only thing I would like to say is the experience would be a bit more interactive if I could pan and move the frame around so I can focus on the specific item I want. For now there is a single focal point when you zoom and sometimes not all the info fits on the screen or its kinda too small. Just my personal opinion. Thanks again. You can always count on my support.

I love the YouTube series, so I imagined the app was no less awesome. So far so good!.. BUT, do not purchase if you have MEGALAPHOBIA (it's a thing, dude!). I started zooming in/out, had my little irrational fear going off like CRAZY. Worse than the moon in Majora's Mask! Great app, no doubt. I currently have this pesky irrational fear of large objects triggered by a rather impressive feature of the app, and for that reason, I'm out. No request for refund. I like Kurzges.. yeah, those cats.

Beautiful app! I love your channel and couldn't wait to download it. I'm a teacher and love to use your content in my classroom. To justify the $2.99 for multiple devices in my classroom I would love to see more interactivity in the future, maybe links to your videos in some of the descriptions, playful animations that react to touch, a list of further readings with sources and if you added a speak aloud option to be turned on and off that would be great for differentiation.

Very interesting factoids you can share with others. After the initial download no network connection is required. Especially like the amazing size comparison descriptions (wish there were more). Well worth $2.99 just for conversation fillers, and the money goes to a good cause (education).

Awesome, seriously, it's fun, scientific l, well drawn and animated, the idea is extrodinary, and it's not overly complicated, easy to figure it out in a short amount of time, created by highly intelectual and cool huma- I mean birds and stick figures, and I believe this could last 'till 12032. In conclusion, if I could rate this from 1-5, I'd say Grahams number.
