PhET Simulations Reviews

PhETSimulations is definitely one of the coolest and more intuitive I have used. I am a Ph.D. student in Aerospace, and I usually help my siblings work their homework. PhETSimulations is perfect to effectively and efficiently get an idea across. I am a native French speaker, and PhETSimulations allows you to learn in different languages; definitely one of my favorite features.
PhETSimulations is also perfect for brushing up on stuff I have not seen in a while or for learning new material fast and easily. I am a visual learner and the simulation environment allows me to easily digest the material I am learning. I guess a picture is always better than a thousand words. I am able to quickly gain insight into a new field without having to do extensive literature reviews. I can have intelligible conversations with people whose studies are not related to mine. I think PhETSimulations consciously helps me becoming a well-rounded scientist.

Overall, I would totally recommend the PhET app if you need to clearly explain or learn some basic scientific concepts, regardless of the language you speak.

Wow, these simulations cover a lot of ground. It’s nice to be able to have them on mobile devices now (I was generally going to the website before, which is also quite good).

These simulations do a great job letting students interact with and discover concepts for themselves. Really flexible tool.

The best app for science and math education out there! Love that all the translations are now available on PhETSimulations !

This is a very good learning tool if your not sure you want it you now know its worth it! Get it! Its very good for learning.

Highly recommend for parents and teachers as tool to help kids explore math and science concepts.

Great app!

PhETSimulations is really great. I have loved PhET for years. They create such intuitive, comfortable, and interesting sims. I’m so glad that they put all their new sims into an app! Keep up the good work PhET.

So are only adults allowed to comment on PhETSimulations or me as an eight-year-old can comment?? Someone write a review answering this question?

Used to play em in the browser and decided “do they have an app?” They do and its worth the dollar to play all the phet games

These simulations are such amazing resources for teaching science and math concepts to students. I love that this new version includes the ability to switch languages, especially Spanish which is great for ESL students. The best 99 cents you can spend on STEM!

I have loved PhET for years as a teacher—they’re the best tool I’ve found for teaching complex topics in a way that addresses the vast majority of learning needs in a classroom. PhETSimulations is super easy to use, and runs perfectly for me. The sims are the perfect combination of fun and educational. It’s amazing to see learners with a wide range of strengths and struggles light up when they discover something new in a PhET simulation. As a former physics teacher, PhET sims are some of the most important tools in my teaching arsenal, and it’s useful to be able to use them on my phone, or to have students use them on their phones! I also love that the sims have been translated into many different languages, as it increases their accessibility to students with a variety of different native languages.

PhETSimulations allows me to easily run the sims without an internet connection or when WiFi goes down. And now that the sims are all translated, I can switch between English and Spanish by changing my iphone language. Totally worth the (very) low price.

PhETSimulations is perfect for running PhET simulations on your phone, especially if you need to access them offline. The scrolling was a bit laggy before, so I'm happy that was fixed. And it's super cool that the translated versions are included now - I'm sure this will help out classrooms that use iPhones or iPads. Thanks PhET!

I can’t offer enough applause and appreciation for what a valuable and wonderful resource this is. The variety and quality of the simulations continues to grow and has been invaluable in my teaching practice for many years. Keep up the good work!

PhETSimulations has been great for my kids! The kids LOVE exploring all the simulations - playing with circuits, gases, atoms, prism, numbers, equations, and on and on. I LOVE that it is educational screentime! It’s so easy to use, and it even works on long trips when we don’t have internet. Overall, it’s been a go to app for us - for play or for school!

I normally use PhET simulations within my Nearpod presentations but downloaded PhETSimulations specifically for my son in third grade.
I love that we can access the math sims offline so he can practice on his device anytime. And I found out PhETSimulations will translate (at least to Spanish) if you change the device language setting! 😱♥️🌎

Hello, I am a student and was first introduced to PhET lab on a web browser for science and just got PhETSimulations and it is better then on the web browser, on PhETSimulations it is very easy to find simulations you liked because you can favorite them and then just have only favorites show, PhETSimulations is definitely worth the 99 cents.

If you are at all interested in science, math, or chemistry PhETSimulations is worth getting. It has a suite of simulations that keep the subjects fun and interesting. Each sim works like an exploratory tool that you get to play around with.

Also the developers keep updating the sims and adding new ones, so that is cool.

Would definitely recommend for students or parents looking to get their kids into science.

It can be tricky as an educator to find high quality, hands-on, and interactive science and math resources for students that are also really easy to implement in the classroom. PhET sims have always been a reliable and wonderful educational tool that encourages kids to WANT to think critically and be challenged. They are also really fun and playful! I am so grateful that there is now an app that makes PhET sims even more accessible and available. Highly recommend to any teacher and anyone with kids!

Please, please please please please make a particle accelerator simulation.
