Description
The Fourth Dimension is a 30-page interactive book that explains a single mathematical idea in language that anyone can understand. Instead of static images or canned videos, this app employs a unique 3D touch interface that lets you literally grasp the concept of the fourth dimension with your own hands.
“Not only can you blow your own mind over and over again, you can also enjoy watching your friends’ minds being blown in front of you.” — Cult of Mac
“One of the coolest apps I've ever used... The Fourth Dimension is to boring learning apps what Carl Sagan's Cosmos was to staid science documentaries.” — BuzzFeed
“The app is very cool, and it's unlike pretty much anything we've seen in the App Store.” — The Verge
“This is one of my most favorite iOS apps ever.” — George Musser, contributing editor for Scientific American and author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to String Theory
(App Store user reviews follow.)
“Blew my mind. I generally don't use 'learning' apps as they're mostly gimmicks. This one, though, truly made me think. I hope this developer comes out with more outstanding apps such as this one. Bravo!” — Iceitic
“Astounding. That some people care passionately enough about tesseracts to go create a fantastic app for others to understand them is incredible. The app is extremely well designed, wittily written, and executed with love. That alone is worth buying it, besides the fact that I learned what the hell a tesseract was.” — Duncan MacMichael
“Fantastic! This is what someone really smart, and who really knows how to teach well, can do with a tablet. And the authors are funny, too, which is a neat bonus.” — DNY
“Fantastic app. I work at a leading UK university. If only all our material was this well written and presented. Definitely worth buying and then spending a bit of time with over a day or two to get your head around the fourth dimension. Great app!” — JulesFM
“Great job! This app does the best job explaining the 4th dimension. Why learn it in some boring classroom when here you can have an interactive and visual explanation.” — Aco Strklalj
Over 250,000 people have blown their minds with this app.

Ratings and Reviews
OH MY DAYS!!!
This should be mandatory in schools!!! This is an amazing tool in u understanding and visualising a tesseract.
What I think would be an epic addition to this app would be the ability to see the x, y, z and whatever the algebraic letter for the fourth dimension, and the ability to change individual values, or resent individual ones. It would help me (I think) if I could see it change without depending on my hand. That would be really helpful and not do difficult to implement as I'm sure it has its own coordinates inside. It's just about mapping it to a text field surely.
Totally mind boggeling
Really awesome app! I wanted to understand the movement of a 4D shape and this app really helps you picture that and also how 4D objects seem to become ‘bigger!’ Would love to know more... about the mirror idea that a 4D person could move objects / make them disappear and reappear! Very interesting and fun to imagine... can you set something up so we can create our own 4D shapes???
Four d
After working through this fascinating (mind boggling) exercise I need to go and lie down. Fabulous (in more ways than 1).
