Oh if only I'd had this as a student! EM would have been at least more understandable. Brilliant idea and excellent implementation. Thanks!

I wish they had instructions because I am not sure what those settings are. I also wish to have the ability to go faster or Leave it on while my phone is off to see what the result is after a certain period of time.

It is very easy to use, it doesn't cover everything in detail, yet this can be take as a negative. What I would like to see if possible is more power over experiment customization, and a very much needed way to type in numbers for parameters instead of using inaccurate sliders. Overall, nice job, and please keep upgrading it!

A wonderful and educational application. Like having your own wave pool on your smart phone and tablet only without having to clean up all the splashes.

The app crashes occasionally for no apparently consistent reason. But aside from that, I enjoy this.

P70%
by P####:

you can do experiments when you long press and draw any boudaries you like. and there is the double slit now. good job

D70%
by D####:

It would be more helpful if you could draw in boundaries on all of the modes....

Although the ability to watch waves propagate uninterrupted by anything other themselves is useful, this app gives no way to add barriers of any sort, severely limiting it to strictly basic uses. Looks pretty, but not helpful enough to warrant keeping it installed for long.

X70%
by X####:

But still i'll give it 4 stars because their is no slit option to do experiments like diffraction and interfearence except the inbuilt double slit wave simulater.

keep up the good work. Next I would recommend increasing the frequency and adding the option to add our own barriers into the ripple tank

Outstanding! Wish I could fix emitters and define so and ao wave speeds. Please add a multilateration app!
