My kid was able to figure out this app on his own (+1). Then he gave me a tour of the cool things the app can do, like turning the book pictures into videos, or the VR part where you're in the lab with Nye. I have a google Pixel and haven't had any issues. It does eat up battery, but then, VR/AR is resource intensive. And the app is big, which I wondered if that would cause issues because I buy the dinkiest phone but all good. Nice app. Compliments to the designers and devopers.

I love the vr and the ar parts not a fan of my nine-year old child doing the expierments alone though for some reason I cant update it it says update required to use the app

VR Headset included isnt great. I have quite a slim phone and I was still a little worried it was going to damage it due to the pressure on the screen. The App is also not great, having some problems with centering while in VR mode. It may be a setting or something I need to change perhaps, but not a great experience so far. Experiments themselves seem well chosen and described in the included book. And Bill Nye is fantastic!

The AR seems to work on the app though it is kinda difficult for an 8 year old to use without putting the book on the floor since it wants to see the whole 2 page spread before it activates. The VR part of the app seems to be broken with all the phones Ive tested it on. The vr for the first lesson on volcanos just goes to a black screen. I found another lesson that did play audio but it was just a static picture that had nothing to do with the lesson as far as I could tell. Very disapointed

Downloaded the 2.02GB app and it works decently on handheld mode, although the VR experiences on several of the pages won't load and will freeze the app. The goggles are a different story; the split screen images are displayed so far apart that I (as an adult) cannot adjust them to be close enough to form one cohesive picture. What we get instead is a semi-overlapping image that gives the appearance of double vision and results in a nasty headache and one very disappointed child.
