Fascinating but overly challenging building-design app.

Is It Any Good?
SIMPLEPHYSICS is a fascinating app in which players design structures and then test the structures either manually by "pulling" on various areas, or by running a certification test. In addition, the challenge must be done within a certain budget. While some aspects of the app are nicely done, with only four levels (and a tutorial) there aren't a lot of choices. The ability to switch between a stress-color view and a "physical" view is nice. However, sometimes the physics appear to be off, as when a symmetrical roof design shows more stress on one side than the other. Also, without any tips or hints on designing trusses, some of the levels can be overly challenging.
