Twenty of the most famous quotes from the brilliant theoretical physicist Professor Stephen Hawking.
Listen to Professor Hawkings views on life, destiny, time travel, UFOs, antimatter, the universe and other subjects. This application uses recordings made on a voice synthesizer, which matches Hawkings own.
This application is a must for any fan of Stephen Hawking. The quotes really show Professor Hawkings wit and intelligence. You can listen to the quotes for educational purposes and you can even use them as riposts to your friends and colleagues. This app is also perfect if you want to use one of Hawkings quotes in a presentation.
Please note: First generation iPod Touch users will need headphones to hear the sounds. All users need to make sure that sounds are enabled, the mute button is off and volume is turned up.
Pros and cons of Pocket Hawking app for iPhone and iPad
Pocket Hawking app good for
Not quite worth a dollar compared to other stuff in the AppStore but still quite fun. Just a bunch of one liner quotes from steven. Some of his best to be exact though it feels like there should be more quotes being added as since I have had this there have been no new ones, also perhaps the ability to change ones voice to sound as him would be a nice addition for future updates and make the dollar feel better spent when considering how angry birds and cut the rope are the same price.
Looks like the voice has been added. Worth the dollar in my opinion if this is what youre looking for. It is NOT a text to speech app, just a heads up. Pretty neat quotes.
Hes my idol so i love this application ❤️ Everything is perfect ❤️ Thanks ❤️
Some bad moments
The app only offers some buttons that lead to citations of Hawkins book: A brief history of time. No explanation, no experiments, no visualisations! Just fooling of customers! Dear Apple, please remove this app from store!!!
I found this app to be fun and insightful. Please include more pages of phrases in an update!
I would have like to just read his quotes, or if they had to be audible, in a voice that was easy to understand. Who wants to hear quotes in a robot voice?? Its a frustrating app because theres no way to just read the quote.
This is an awesome app and I wish there were more of his famous quotes. The only thing I would change is the spelling mistake of the word "theorems." But other than that its brilliant
Theres no audio with the iPhone 4. Gimme my money back!
If you like Stephen Hawking, Google him. Dont download this rip off.
I love this app only wish we had more quotes, if you admire this man an his work you will love it.
