REVIEWS:

‘X is for X-Ray, by Touchpress, is an extraordinary new app that takes full advantage of what is possible when you combine creative and innovative developers with the ever evolving world of technology! Upon first look, we said, “WOW, WOW & WOW again!” This one adjective resounded throughout, along with “OMG, AMAZING, and COOL,” as we explored this incredibly unique app.’

‘It might be aimed for younger children, as the book is yet another A to Z version of the same 26 letters. This time though, the concept is mind-boggling as each object is x-rayed to reveal the underlying skeleton. As teachers we couldn’t wait to share this app with students and see if they would agree that we had something very special here. They agreed... and the first word uttered was once again, “WOW”.’

‘The beauty of the app is its attention to detail. Almost every object has some unique effect, like the way the car engine’s pistons turn when you rotate it in x-ray mode.’

‘This app is the learning bomb! It makes your kids curious about everything they see’

‘My 6yr old has been amazed by x-rays since he saw an MRI of his brain. He really enjoyed seeing the insides of so many everyday objects. Highly, highly recommended app :)’

Doesnt work!!!
Swipe vertically? This looks really cool. I have an 64G 4S with iOS 5.0.1 and it isnt working? Please fix. Thanks
its fun
its fun to do objects
Horrible
So over 3.5 years elapse between updates and the app doesnt resize automatically to the size of my iPhone 6S plus screen? Why even update the app after all these years if you dont even fix this basic attribute of the app? Ridiculous.
Brilliant! Creative!
Amazing resolution and adapts well to the smaller screen of the iPhone. My mom teaches third grade science and they are gonna have a BALL with this app. Definitely worth the price of a cup of coffee!
Good application, but needs universal version
This is a decent application, but discouraging that you have to buy separate copies for iPhone and iPad.
