Science Glossary app review: your educational resource

Introduction

The Science Glossary app brings you all things science-related when it comes to definitions. This app is filled with brief biographies and a glossary of scientific terms. The app can be used for undergraduate students currently studying science or anyone who works in the field as a quick and easy resource tool. Even if you don’t work in the field or study science, those with a love or passion of science can use it as a way to learn even more about the field and further their own knowledge base.

Professional and Simple

The Science Glossary app manages to look and feel professional yet simple at the same time. You know that the information you are reading and researching can be trusted as it is all from the www.visionlearning.com website. All the definitions you'll find in here offer links to related terms and science learning modules which present a lot of detail and description and are completely free.

It can be hard to take something as technical as scientific terms and present it in an engaging and user-friendly manner, yet the app strikes that balance perfectly. Nothing feels overwhelming or intimidating and navigating the app is very quick and easy so you’ll find what you’re looking for without a lot of fuss and time spend on the search.

The app describes itself as an "extensive glossary that supplements our free online science learning modules," which sums it up perfectly.

 

Mixed Reviews

As positive as my own experience is with this app, there are other users that aren't quite as impressed. The ones who have given the app a poor review have complained that not all the terms they have searched for can be found. To me this just seems like an issue that is bound to happen. How can you possibly include each and every term? On the other side of things, the people who are happy with the app are ones who find it useful and can find the terms they are looking for. They have commented on the fact that the app could do with a search bar, with which I completely agree. Obviously, offering a search tool would make using this app that much faster and easier.

In addition to what users have said I also find the app a bit slow to load some of the terms - or it just doesn’t load them at all. This seems to be hit and miss though because other terms load instantly.
