Pocket Physics 1.0.0.8
For anyone interested in getting a better grasp of the formulas used in learning physics, having at hand a utility like Pocket Physics on their Windows Phone handsets might prove a real advantage.
Clean front-end, with clear graphics
The application greets you with a well organized layout, where the focus is set on practicality and everything is designed in such a manner that the content is very easy to read. Also, the navigation inside the utility is smooth, with some minor delays in loading the data when some sections are opened.
The diagrams, formulas and explanations are all clearly lined out inside each module you access. The chapters are not ordered alphabetically, instead they seem to be stacked up in the order of their difficulty.
After using the app for a while you will start to come across some annoying adverts that appear in full screen when accessing the various areas of Pocket Physics.
Learn more about each formula with graphics and explanations
The subject matter ranges from vector operations and linear motion notions up to modern physics, where time dilation or relativistic momentum are under the looking glass.
For most notions included the application you have at your disposal a relevant explanation, while the components of each equation or formula are also explained.
There are many useful diagrams and charts that help a lot in understanding basic principles and physics formulas that apply to geometrical optics, various types of motion, force and more.
In case you want to copy some of the content, like a formula or some bits of text, this will not be possible with Pocket Physics. Also, the images cannot be zoomed in and the GUI will remain in portrait mode even if you change the display orientation.
Since it is only a reference source, the utility could use an upgrade in terms of chapters it should cover, especially since the explanations are very well made and quite easy to understand for every user who wants to broaden their knowledge in physics.
