Simple Machines by Tinybop App Reviews

IT CRASHES EVERY TIME IT LOADS!!! IM ON IPHONE 6! WANT REFUND BADLY

Lasted about 30 minutes until my 6 yr old wanted to do more.

Thought this game would be fun . But really there is no thought to making this game.

So I bought this app for the 3 dollars Hoping it would be like my STEM class I took this year, buttttt......... Its not. I wish this app was better and hoped it was like this pictures but when I bought it I got bored after 2 minutes. I wish I could get a refund for it.

My kids like the graphics of this game for a couple of minutes but the actions are just repetitive. They have no real goal or point to trying to make the machines work. Yes it illustrates how they work but if kids dont have a reason to operate them, they wont continue. Riding a bike endlessly to nowhere? Knocking down a building that simultaneously rebuilds itself? Give kids a goal. I am so disappointed that I spent $2.99 on this!! How can I get a refund???

Bought this for my 2nd grader who just studied simple machines in science. He loves it! I havent even gone through the handbook yet, looks excellent.

We love how the app doesnt have scores to keep or levels to break through. Its just open for you to play and explore. Its like when my son first got his legos he just tinkered with it with no goal. He stared at the fish tanks in the screw scene for a long time and got really excited when little boats started dropping in! A lovely app!

A big waste of money!!

Didnt expect it but this app made what I remember to be kinda boring lessons really fun. Instead of studying diagrams my kids can actually use each machine and see how they work. Also the illustrations are gorgeous!

Straight forward and uncomplicated, but lots of fun to see forces in play. Glad it follows along with curriculum, can reinforce school lessons at home. Awesome artwork. :)

My kids love this game. But I have concern about the Screw game. Based on the screw thread, I think when finger slide from left to right, the tank should be down, and vice versa. forgive me if im wrong.

The graphics in this app are astonishing. I loved the way everything looked and tinkering around with the machines for some time. But I found myself bored after some time playing. There isnt any concrete goal and things start to become repetitive after a while. This is a nice app, but I wouldnt spend $2.99 for it.

I thought you made your own machine but you cant, waste of money.

Like a lot of games (hello, Angry Birds) but educational. What more could you want?

Theres no possibility to mix and go beyond the basics. It gets really boring after a few minutes.

Love riding the bike!

The application crashed It wont open

We love the bike! Great app for talking to kids about the 6 simple machines they learn about in school.

My 5 yr old and 8 yr old got bored after a few minutes. I thought this would have more info to support learning, but theres not much explaining. Id take my $.99 back.

This app is so dumb all you can do is watch a few fish dive in the tank dont waste your time go buy simple machines so much better
