This app is wonderful. If you're like me, you're definitely someone who needs to be able to see things with their hands and depth. The app allows 2D concepts to easily be translated to 3D models that represent what we're learning in class. In doing so, these models are able to be combined with equations to represent different things that would be more challenging to imagine rather than visualize what the 3D models allow you to see. Being able to hold an object in your hand and have complete control is more gear-turning than your teacher trying to explain what they already know. I think the app features are great and I'd love to see what's to come in the future.

This app have been extremely helpful to visualize the topics we have been learning about during lecture. It is quite hard to picture a 3D object on a 2D white board but because the app has a 360 view it allows you to fully see what it going on. My favorite part of the app is when you can turn on and off currents to see how that changes the picture we are looking at.

This app works fairly well but it has its issues. The visualizations are well made and help with the topics but some of the buttons don’t seem to work properly. For example, some of them are toggles that require you to tap them twice before the change registers. This however is minor, otherwise the app works great with its 3D wire, magnetism, and many other visual aids. The interactivity, especially with the equation variables really helps put physical and paper together.
