Universe in a Nutshell Customer Insights

1. I am so grateful to Kurzgesagt for all the effort they've put into the things they make! Everything is amazing and beautiful, the info about each object is great, and the insane sense of scale is so much fun to explore! I also love that there's no ads.

2. (I like to just zoom slowly in the same direction for a long time and enjoy the scenery and try to imagine the scale of things as they go by).I love the app, just it needs some graphics optimizations.

3. This is a great way to keep reinforcing how amazing the universe is.surprisingly fun to zoom in and out and choose random things to learn about.

4. Helps put a lot of things in perspective like how big is an atom compared to different light waves! Only suggestion for the team is scoot the menu buttons and back button (top left) to the right some more.

5. It would be so cool if there was a VR version/adaptation to this as well, but this is so far great! The control for zooming does have a slight weirdness to it from what I recall, where it would speed up the zoom in/out very slightly the longer I held the zoom.

6. One of my favorite parts of Kurzgesagt videos is the super smooth animation and quality, and 25fps is quite mediocre compared to the videos.

7. It's still tappable without too much trouble, though.Super fun to just go through and really try to comprehend the vast size of the universe while also try to realize how tiny things are too.

8. You can always count on my support.Way to go! This is a great little app to showcase the incredible differences in sizes in our universe.

9. Thanks!Excellent app and beautiful to see the interface is intuitive, there are some initial quirks that it only works in landscape mode but I'm not too bothered by it just surprised.

10. Fun app to give you a sense of scale of just how unthinkably massive and incredibly tiny the world and universe is.

11. The only gripe I would have is that when zooming in and out with the pinch feature I accidentally hit the small scale at the bottom right and it messes up where I'm at.
