Universe in a Nutshell
🇰🇷 KR LocalizedScreenshots
Description
The range of size in the universe, from the tiniest particles to the epic galaxies - we take you on a journey of size that lets you explore it all with a single swipe. How big is a planet, compared to a human? And how small is an atom really? You can’t fully wrap your head around the scope of things by just reading about them – so this app lets you experience them in comparison to get a feeling for their true scale. By simply swiping you can zoom in and out all the way from the world of fundamental particles up to the largest stars at the edge of the observable universe. Seamless zooming between the scales of 10^-35 meters to 10^26 meters (no math required) Amazing fun facts for various scale levels, like the smallest bacterium and the largest black hole Tap any object for an explanation of what it is and how it works Beautifully animated illustration of more than 250 objects Original Kurzgesagt music to complement your experience

It would be great to have German language option as I would love to learn about “Universe” in German as well
As the kurzgesagt kid I am, it’s time for my review and wow! This is absolutely incredible! I could look at each description for hours, look at the astonishing work, and sometimes question about why Italy is shaped like a boot. I would like to see more objects though. Here’s the list: Titania, Triton, IO, Callisto, Titan, Hyperion, Car tire, Enceladus, coliseum, and who could forget Uranus! I would also like to see some of your new art style on some objects. You know what earth looked like in your video, “you are not where you think you are”? That’s what I want. I’m not asking you if you could right away, but you can keep it in mind. Anyway that’s all I wanna say for now. Keep it up! And stay curious.
From the Planck Length to the Hubble Deep Field it has something to say. The music is also great. If you like Kurzgesagt Art and Physical Sciences this app is for you.
This is a really cool app that my kids have enjoyed exploring, and one I haven’t added a time limit for because it’s educational. I think a great and helpful addition would be to get the awesome narrator from the videos to read the descriptions for young kids and the visually impaired.
I thought the sound option was for it to read to my toddler. Any chance we can get that option? My toddler likes to run off while using the app, but I wish he understood what he was looking at.
It’s a good app, but you need to add the 7th planet Uranus (plz dont laugh!!!) I say it like yer-uh-nis so people don’t laugh. (btw Happy New Year) Can you also change the description for the colossal squid. There is some language there. Plz remove human $₽3ŘM cell and human egg plz it’s inappropriate. Otherwise, I recommend this app for people.
This app is great! It puts Kurzgesagt videos into a giant encyclopedia of random things in the universe, full of fun facts and good défendrions to know if you love science, and a great size comparison app. Something that it would be nice for this app to add to become even better is if you could choose 2 or more objects to directly put next to each other, in their own sort of “sandbox”, so that you could directly see the size difference. Something else that would be cool to add is some kind of definitions page, where it gives all of the definitions of different science words people might not know, like “Quark” or even “Quantum Physics”. Other than those things. The app was perfect! Nice job Kurzgesagt at making another beautiful science project.
I’d love that this has no ads now. Why would you add a stick figure? I don’t know why you are working with a complete but this is the best I could have on my iPad. Thank you for making this. I love this YouTuber.
You Guys didn’t size 24 things correctly. Please correct those, Kurzgesaht & “Wait but why?”.
I love the pictures and how It’s like a infinite zoom video best app ever!
