Although PhET HTML5 simulations work great in most Android browsers, including Chrome for Android and Samsung Internet, this great application allows PhET HTML5 simulations to work offline, so kudos to the developers for making that possible to Android devices! As a developer myself, I would just like to point out one flaw regarding the application. Some user interface elements do not play well with the Android operating system, and seem more geared to, and hence, biased towards a competing operating system. Specifically, this is the "Done", 'refresh' and 'mark favourite' buttons. Thus, I would like to suggest making different configurations for each of your different builds of the application, such that the user interface design of the build matches the user interface design of the operating system. For instance, you should replace the heart symbol with a star symbol in Android as the star symbol is commonly understood within the Android community as an indicator that elevates an item in terms of importance over other items. The heart symbol is not understood by everyone in the same way in Android, and essentially, these users who do not understand may, as such, be unable to fully utilise a feature that they paid for. May I also remind the developers that there are various reasons why certain consumers choose certain operating systems for their appliances, and the reasons are not limited to money alone.

Great simulations that help my physics students and I, discover on their own the otherwise counterintuitive concepts of physics.
★★★★★
Awesome app for visualisation of concepts and ability of app to allow you play around with multitude of parameters makes it very interesting.Please convert all sims in HTML 5 format as soon as possible.
★★★★★
Id love to use this app but there is several simulation like fluid dinamic not added on this android version, but in pc version is full of simulation.
★★☆☆☆
Downloaded this app for one reason, Plate Tectonic and for some reason its the only program not on the app. I downloaded the app from the website page with the plate tectonic because the webpage wouldn't work. please update the app with the plate tectonic that your website says it should be on and I'll update the review.
★★☆☆☆
Did not include Natural Selection - the one my instructor assigned. I only bought the app because the Natural Selection simulator didn't work with my Chromebook.
★★☆☆☆
Waste of money. Not even 1% of the simulatuons available online using a plain HTML browser over a PC/ Mac for free are available through a paid app.
