Newton's Cradle

Newton's Cradle model. Nice UI, drag and drop the balls to create motion or use accelerometer.

v2.2.0: Multi-touch support for Android 2.0+
v2.1.1: Donut 1.6 update with QVGA & WVGA support

Not a good representation of the 3D model. No sounds; unattractive; messy motion, especially when more than one ball is pulled. Disappointing.

this is not a good app the sound doesnt work i have went through 3 apps trying to find a good app!

There was no sound

The developers has been either lazy, or scarily unrealistic. The physics are rubbish and the marbles stick together when they clearly shouldn't.

A. G. u. Sep 18, 2010     

The physics don't seem to be fully worked out as the balls will bounce at odd times and the overall response is too rigid.

Nice realistic stimulation. And Kinnolo, yes the real ones do stop. After about two minutes. It's not a perpetual motion machine.

Good. Would be a nice tech demo if it were 3D with some reflection and free camera movement. Still, very good :)

Used to be great, but the last update ruined it, and weeks later still no fix. Shame.

I kid you not, i was lf this just the other day and found it today by accident. Works ok. Good start, but sound needs work.

A. G. u. Jul 4, 2010     

Neat app for free. Sound works for me, make sure you enable it in the menu. Would like to be able to control physical variables.

A good idea, but unrealistic. Needs refinement and optimization for Galaxy Tab.

Sounds do not work on motorola devour. Slow simulation not fast and sharp like the real thing boring background and housing.

Brilliant! If you think its boring than I guess things of intellect are too much for you to appreciate

A. G. u. May 27, 2010     

Graphics suck and if you turn it upside down, it doesn't recognize the change in direction. I want it to tangle when upside down.

A good concept. A bit glitchy. Seems like a bad ripoff of the iphone version

A. G. u. Jun 20, 2010     

Collisions are a little too static, and the balls sometimes stick together after a collision when the shouldn't.

A. G. u. Aug 6, 2010     

Fun little app. Would be cool if all marbles would interact with each other rather than just the ones to either side of them (a.k.a ball 1 and ball 3)

A. G. u. Apr 19, 2010     

Did not move freely with the Devour, limited ball designs' and did not respond the way a cradle should. Great idea, but work on the program more

A. G. u. Nov 20, 2010     

The programming should be improved and the physics is not realistic. Other than that, good app.

Its soooooooo fun my daughter plays on it for hours she hogs my phone! We have competions to see who makes the most introresting thing

A. G. u. Oct 12, 2011     

Try to pull up a ball in the middle while other are in motion. Yeah! Time machine.

A. G. u. Jun 4, 2010     

Fun app multi touch and great physics. Needs tick sounds though. And skins for the balls eg. Glassy,silver.black background.

A. G. u. Feb 18, 2015     

For some odd reason, the motion starts decaying, which defies Newton's Laws

A. G. u. Mar 27, 2011     

Froze my phone to the extent if having to remove the battery! Uninstalled and 1 star for no menu nor the ability to exit the app.

A. G. u. Jun 21, 2011     

Keeps crashing on my Galaxy S ii. Would be nice to be able to turn damping off.

A. G. u. Nov 21, 2013     

This app works well but there needs to be some settings to changed colors and number of balls.

A. G. u. Aug 15, 2010     

The physics are all wrong, entertaining four about 5 seconds. Good effort though.

A. G. u. Jun 1, 2010     

Good job but sound and the accelera ahhhh every thing needs a tune up but good job

A. G. u. Nov 27, 2010     

It is ok, though it gets very boring, and it has bad graphics and no 3D.

A. G. u. May 19, 2010     

gets boring. when I close the app it would still sound but stops after awhile.
