I took joy in reading this book as I had found the author of it to be one of the most unbiased straightforward thinkers of all There was zero tolerance for falsehoods and cover up that can come in disguise of a mainstream cults of proselytization and indoctrination May the others too enjoy the benefits of understanding the reality as it is proven by science in this remarkable book                     Great book with clear demonstration of science DC from UA

thanks for the ios 11 update the app now works again back to 5 star rating i will use this app to simplify and present evolutionary concepts to my anti science evolution denying friends thanks for a great app also consider this a request for more apps based on science and rational thought thanks                     works with ios 11 now Gulfport

My daughter is 9 years old and could really benefit from this amazing app It s kind of old and no longer works on iOS 11 I m hoping they can make the few small changes required to get this app working again and back onto my iPad She s being taught things in school and I was hoping this well thought out and designed app could help                     Needs Update Cotton.Nero

Please update I bought this before I had kids and now I want to share it with my 5 year old Would love an update to a phenomenal resource for critical thinking             Great book Can t use it anymore with ios11 BillyN4C

Great informative interactive book The current version will not work with iOS 11 please update so everyone can continue to enjoy this app                 Please update for iOS 11 compatibility SpearsLover

This is an informative and fun read I enjoy doing the activities and may share some with my biology class It didn t get five stars because selections written in colored boxes ended in the middle of sentences at the bottom of the box                 Great book WeiXinhua

I enjoyed the book thoroughly Great graphics well written and it makes you think about a lot of important aspects of life                     Fun thought provoking and educational dtperk

Need I to say more                     True Miguel227

Not the sunny science book it seems     Good if you are raising atheists Desirob

The app is great for learning like an interactive text book I am having an issue with the temperature pressure interactive page The app crashes whenever I set the temperature cool enough for a solid to form                 Love the App Delaveris

I utterly enjoyed this app and my 4 year old granddaughter just absolutely loved the graphics I hope she ll grow up to really read and understand this book one day and become an inquisitive non conforming young lady who questions everything she sees hears or feels Even this book                     Brilliant Elegantly brilliant Digipod

Wonderful book a book that take you to a journey of not coming back Where you want to continue to know more and more Those kind of books that explain everything that you wanted to know The art are beautiful and entertaining There is some test that you can do it by yourself ionmy opinion fun                     Magic of reality Nittuninadie

The voice R D comes through clearly in this easy to read convincing comparison between myth and science The choice is easy Some of the simple motion graphics are not needed and distracting others provide excellent interactivity                     Excellent even with unneeded motion graphics Newsnut234

The content is simple enough for a kid to grasp while revealing important facts to people of all ages Wonderful insightful enjoyable                     Absolutely love this book Dj dbl d

Well written and very insightful A fascinating read                     Excellent SA250

We need more apps like this The integration of visuals with the book was impeccable Moreover Richard Dawkins elaborates the concepts with ease and understandability I also enjoyed his usual wit while debunking myths religions and deities                     Excellent Pduude

This app made me once again live with the curiosity of a three year old By asking seemingly ordinary questions what makes a rainbow Why do bad things happen and then answering those questions with us through illustrations animations and experiments it s a journey that makes you want to keep asking Illustrations are quirky interactive a cool and Dawkins tone though all the wiser is never condescending right now There doesn t seem to be such a way I only wish it was easier to skip to chapters                 Intriguing entertaining encouraging Hackysaq

This is a great book The interactive pages and animations really make it more effective For example the interactive animation of Newton s explanation of orbits using a cannonball is awesome The only problem I had was the app occasionally crashed often with the interactive animations e g the animation of the effect of pressure and temperature on liquids                 The Magic of Reality AdeP

The animations brought the book to life I ve never learnt so much in one book app The myth magic and science swirled together makes me look forward to other children s books like this Thank Dr Dawkins May there be more books like this a 9 year old girl who loves science and books                     Magical Kaushiks14

I really enjoyed this book The illustrations are relevant and added a lot to the content I would recommend this app to everyone and I plan to let my 8yr old read it                     Worth The purchase Albeamy

This should be required reading for all students                     Required reading Mychair

As a long time fan of Richard Dawkins and a lifelong fan and student of Biology and philosophy I found this App book to be a joy to read explore It is a must for students Thank you Mr Dawkins for yet another intriguing read                     Amazing katkutter1

This app will not load What a waste     TammieK

Superb app but is not yet retina display optimized Please update                     Brilliant proudpom

App will not load Bummer     Magic of Reality T1m2g

In several spots in the book the text was entirely illegible because it was black on black I hope that a future release fixes this flaw But we loved the book itself                 Great book but need white text in dark areas BubbasDaddy

I bought this book for my kids and we were excited to read it until we got to the pages that had black text on black backgrounds At least 30 of the book is like this and basically unreadable I wouldn t buy this until this bug has been fixed     Black text on black background NEEDS TO BE FIXED DNOSmidwest

This was a great book until I got to the section on rainbows Back background and black text Completely unreadable Please fix this     Unreadable text Borlaug

In the sections with a black background the text remains black and I can t read those sections This needs fixing                     Great book so far but I have text problems Buzznick

Please refine all the interactions some I couldn t read due to same background colour as the letters and let us enjoy it to the level of its beauty                 Fantastic Bedjie

Love the great interactive but could you fit the retina display             Retina please Zn37

I am 80 years old I have used the interactive rainbow section with many children After going through some of the myths I say to them Isn t it wonderful Now we can make rainbows and bend them this way and that Now we know how rainbows are really made It took a long time to load the upgrade It s worth the wait                     Magic of Reality Luvik

Was good upgrade wouldn t install Now it s stuck Can t install can t use it Help             Stuck Nina in MD

Please add retina for illustrations and animations it s a shame that such marvelous book doesn t use full capabilities of iPad and I can t imagine what other app deserves it more than this one Now not even the icon has retina anymore Fix this please                     Still no retina for anything other than text Vladagaja24

If you believe that there is more to reality than what you can perceive with your five senses you ll find this smug simplistic explanation of what is real and what is myth to be very limited if not downright offensive Has Dawkins never read The Tao of Physics Wiccans pagans and Joseph Campbell fans beware Beautiful app though             He has it all figured out doesn t he Aslo White

Great app                     Great app Honeygurlmeh

The artwork is very interesting also there are interactive games where you get to play with the concepts being described Recorded descriptions by Dawkins himself make you feel like your old uncle Dawkins is reading along with you at times I would recommend this for anyone who would like to compare and contrast scientific explanations with traditional folktales                     More than a book Saneape

This was really fun to read Worth every penny                     Awesome BlueSa3419

This app is one of the bet apps I have come across My three daughters love it                     Great app Vtvubgvgjvjgvfhcfycyrcry

I have read many of Richard s books and this one did not disappoint Great book for a younger audience or someone with little scientific background                     Beautifully done Pkrjsirlfndn

A must have Worth every penny Clear concise explanations Interactive and fun Inspiring and delightful Education at its finest Don t bypass this one                     Magic MaryMJ65

After reading all of Mr Dawkins other books I find this one to be quite basic However the interactive portions of the book are quite informative and interesting His examples of myths etc is an education in itself I would highly recommend this book to any lay person as a starting point for further writings by this author                 The magic of reality Whskyjck

Great refresher on basic science while introducing some amazing concepts for your brain to chew on The whole book is also full of illustrations that are extremely well done                     Wonderfully entertaining educational for all ages minnmatt213

Breaks things down quite easily                     Perfect resource Cryo84R

I loved it It was very informative and beautifully illustrated I liked how various myths were presented to explain phenomena and then the true scientific explanation was given I also enjoyed the interactive activities What an excellent app                     Magnificent Daniel Alan Embree
