About Brian Cox Wonders Compilation

Travel with Professor Brian Cox through a 3D Universe, scaling up from sub atomic particles through the solar system and Milky Way, local Stars and Galaxies to the edge of the known Universe.

The groundbreaking Wonders app for Android brings together Professor Brian Cox’s Wonders of the Solar System and Wonders of the Universe books with the award-winning TV series produced by the BBC into a single interactive experience.

Take a solo voyage, jetting between planets, moons, asteroids, nebulae and black holes, or take one of Brian’s tours for a curated journey of the Wonders that surround us..

The app is as spectacular as the universe it unlocks, but also profoundly educational. It can be enjoyed on a purely superficial level – marvel at a Red Giant; gaze upon the beauty of the Lagoon Nebula – or fully immerse yourself in the related video and text to understand where we came from, how we got here and where we’re going as the destiny of the Universe plays out. As such, the app appeals to adults, teens and young children
Alike.

Please fix the videos! I am also using a Galaxy S6 and all I want is to use this great app to its fullest potential.

this app is utterly amazing.... if you are a cosmology enthusiast, or anybody else, this app is for you.

To the devs, I'm using a "Huawei Ascend G620S" and the app crashes every time I try to select an option from the side menu, I just tried the update and the same problem persists. It seems to be when the app tries to load the transition between 3D models. Please fix for Huawei Acsend G620S, its a pretty powerful phone so can easy handle the 3D requirements, surely. Edit, still no joy from latest update.....

It should work as smoothly as the iPhone version.

Y70%
by Y####:

I was a user of the iOS version for many years, but have been yet unable to browse around the universe with the ease that version granted me. Is it something to do with the way the interface works? This just seems limited and clunky compared to what I've grown to love about the iOS counterpart. I even tried them side by side - no question that the Android version does not immerse in the same fashion. What's the deal?

Was so good on the iphone. Why can't we imitate what the iPhone one of? Can't even scroll thru the galaxy like in the iPhone one. Hope they fix in updsted. If they do, I'll give 5 stars!

trying to use this app but causes my nexus 9 to crash and reboot needs a bit more work doing on it

Looks like it could be an interesting journey but without the videos it is more of a travel brochure. Galaxy S6.

I heard of this app from a NY Times review, as I am preparing to teach a college-level astronomy course later this summer. So I paid, I downloaded it, and the app keeps hanging at the loading stage. I cannot use it at all. So far it can only receive one star, for lack of a zero star option. For the record, the device is a Moto G. Update August 21: For a while it used to work fairly well (3 stars) due to an update. But recently it stopped doing that, so it's back to one star rating. I guess not all updates are equal. The good news is that on a Moto X 1st gen, it works fairly well, thus I will raise the rating to four stars. (For a while, it was working fine on the Moto G due to an update, but then another update killed it for that phone model.)

Really interesting video content and the images are beautiful. The developers must have fixed the bugs from previous versions as it runs reasonably smoothly on my MotoG (which well below the minimum recommended specs) without crashing. I can't wait to see how it runs when I get a new phone, though...

by Y####:

Works great on my phone and is nice and smooth. Easy to use and good content and video snippets from the series. My other half thinks I have a man crush on Brian Cox though.

I don't usually write reviews but felt it was appropriate this once! This app is beautiful to look at, and informative. Me and my family love the zoom function and the additional video content is great. I'm on a Samsung G5 and have experienced none of the issues described in other reviews, it's smooth, and really easy to navigate.

Great app, but crashes constantly when I turn it to landscape mode. Add all the content like the iOS version too

Seems to be a great app so far, unfortunately it has a tendency to crash regularly on my Sony Xperia, in particular the sub atomic section which is a real shame. Fingers crossed this issue can be resolved shortly.

This would get 5 stars if it played the videos on my Android TV or if casting was added. Space TV is a better educational space app.

Playback is absolutely awful, welcome screen has colour bleed and pixelation- pity I can't get my money back

On HTC M7 work perfectly, but on Galaxy Note 10.1 when you try to press on any tab just goes from landscape mode to portrait showing loading screen and resets back to the main screen. Also fonts are not visible.

Would not work for my galaxy tablet 2 v7.0

I don't want to give it one star because I like the subject and I hope to see some development in the app, but did you even try it before you released it? I'm using a Samsung note pro 12. It barely works. UPDATE: It doesn't work at all anymore. "Unfortunately wonders has stopped responding"
