Universe in a Nutshell Hack 1.2.0 + Redeem Codes

We are but specks of dust in this extremely vast universe. The size of the universe to a human is not possibly perceivable, and yet this app has managed to make it almost possible. There are cute, funny descriptions of every single object you tap on, and I can stare for hours reading about each thing I tap on and zooming in and out to the smallest thing in the universe, to the universe itself, just barely grasping how small I really am. It is truly an experience to behold. And the fact that there is music and no ads make the whole journey from big to small so much more immersive. I’m so glad I’m helping support In a Nutshell by buying it. This app is a perfect example of their saying “Quality over quantity”. If the price had been one hundred times more, I still would have bought it. Thanks to everyone that made this masterpiece possible, you all deserve it. Kurzgesagt is keeping science beautiful, just how it’s supposed to be.

For those of us that fondly remember that classic space film from 1977...that’s right, I’m talking about “Powers of Ten: A Film Dealing with the Relative Size of Things in the Universe and the Effect of Adding Another Zero,” this app is the ultimate expression of the concepts first popularized in that epic saga. Universe in a Nutshell is packed with astounding detail about objects at every scale in our universe (even more than Katamari Damaci!). It’s a collaboration between two of my favorite explainers-of-things: Tim Urban (“Wait But Why?”) and Kurzgesagt (In a Nutshell). Beautifully illustrated, wittily written and expertly engineered, it’ll expand and contract your mind, ultimately leaving you out of breath as you sip the quantum foam from your piping-hot cup of supernova neutrinos in the restaurant at the end of the universe. I’ll rate it a Googol out of a Googol stars, which turns out to be way, way more than the number of stars in the observable universe.

I recall seeing science museum exhibit exactly like this when I was a kid. It was one of those memories that I cherish and remember because exploring everything that the world has to offer, both big and small, changes how you think about the world. It's genuinely fun to see the smallest to the largest items in our universe, and learn about everything along the way.

Kurzgasagt's Universe in a Nutshell has re-ignited my youthful curiosity and excitement after experiencing this app. It was really enjoyable to explore and play with, and I think it's a WONDERFUL first app for them!

I firmly belive the $2 cost is justified because it supports Kurzkesagt, gives you access to the app for life and any future improvements, and is worth the treasure trove of perspective and knowledge it has to offer.

Very interesting app, especially for the spark notes of scientific discoveries, but it needs to be updated more frequently. I don’t see UY Scuti listed and i also don’t see Alcyoneus, which dwarfs both virgo A and IC 1101 by many times and is a singular elliptical galaxy. These are just minor examples that’d make it cooler, another cool edition would be even would be the size of a fully generated minecraft world, another similar computer website showed that was bigger than saturn. You could also include the most realistic theory for what’s beyond the observable universe and beyond the edge of the universe to keep people thinking (even if incorrect, cause for debate is better than nothing). Lastly i don’t believe this has anything from the standard model of particle physics if i remember right(though i need to double check after this review). All of that would turn this from a 3 star app into a 5 star app.

I first encountered Tim Urban’s work in his TED Talk about procrastination. Then I did exactly what he described in the talk by allowing myself to get distracted from what I was supposed to be doing to follow a trail of bread crumbs of fascinating topic after topic, all explored with humor and enthusiasm in his blog Wait But Why. This app displays the same passion for detail, knowledge, exploration, wonder, and humor. The colors and graphics are beautiful and vibrant without being garish. The music is evocative, but if you prefer silence, you have that choice. A person could get lost in this app in the best way and learn to appreciate the universe in a new way. Even if you know everything already, read the explanations and enjoy Tim Urban’s writing. 🙂

First of all, it’s cool, especially if like me you like spending time thinking about how many dust mites are in your pillow RIGHT NOW. You should buy this app because it’s the kind of project you should be supporting if you’re into learning and knowledge and other smart stuff.
I have some suggestions for the app’s improvement. I’d like to be able to see photos of the things on the app (well maybe not the worm, because everybody knows what worms look like. but all those cool galaxies and animals). I’d also like to have more comparisons of mid- sized things. How many toasters fit in an average house if we fill it from top to bottom with nothing but toasters? I also want to be able to scroll sideways and not just in and out. And I want to be able to make wallpapers of the images in the app. Like the cute pug or the human cube. Those were awesome.

This app was extremely well made. I love how it just keeps getting bigger and bigger (or smaller and smaller), and how everything has its own description. However, this is where we get to the one problem I found. Because of the hit boxes on some, you can’t get to the description on others. For instance, if you try to tap and read the description on the Black Hole, Gomez’s Hamburger, and the Smallest Known Nebula, instead the description of the light year pulls up because its hit box eclipses that of the ones mentioned. I hope that my review will get noticed and this bug will be fixed. Other than that, great work on the usable descriptions and content!

First, I bought it for myself, and then I gifted it to my wife and my sister. My sister absolutely loved it, as do I. My wife hasn’t had the opportunity to really explore it yet.

The music is so beautiful and relaxing, that I never get tired of it and it’s perfect for the atmosphere of majestic cosmic structures floating in space. The Kurzgesagt artwork is its own beautiful gift to humanity, and it’s one of my most favorite modern art styles. The subtle animations on the different entries in this app really make everything in it feel alive, as if everything in the universe is alive in its own way, and has a rhythmic pulse or breathing, and I believe that that is kind of the point. Please, Kurzgesagt, produce more apps of this quality in the future!

To be honest, I went into this app expecting a pleasant experience. However, I got a lot more than that. I really did enjoy the experience this app gave me, letting experience the sheer scale of everything, but at the same time, I was touched by the amount of effort put into this. I mean, think about it. With an app with this many objects, they were willing to put a fun fact or explanation of the object for every single one! I highly recommend using the three crinkly $1 bills from your pocket to buy this app, because chances are, this can give you a better experience than what those $3 can get you otherwise. I thank you sincerely for doing this for us, Kurzgesagt and Tim Urban!

The scale of the objects explained in the app gives you some understanding about the real size of the objects in the universe! Great idea to help understand and visualize beyond the information given on the app! I’m so looking forward to seeing the future development of this app considering how good it is now!
One of the things that would certainly raid the bar even further is to include interactively animated objects with information about these objects. That would really fun and creative! Just like watching a Kurzgesagt video that you can move it’s object and play with them!
Hopefully this app will get the enough attention and funds to develop it even further!
