I wanted to make revision as enjoyable as possible for my electronics students, so I started this app as a way of keeping useful resources in the same place. There are quizzes on Greek letters and resistor colour codes, as well as games and calculators.

You can [download the app from the Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thunkable.android.domhnall_ohanlon.electronics_games)

or [open the project directly in thunkable](http://app.thunkable.com/?repo=raw.githubusercontent.com/htmaapp/htmaapp.github.io/master/templates/FunWithFarads/FunWithFarads.asc)

Here are a few screenshots for good measure:

Just downloaded the app on my device and I really like it. It’s unique has a nice design, nice games and is a nice idea.

I also like how pressing the back button on the menus re-opens the previous game you played.

One thing you could improve is the app name. On my launcher it shows: “electronics\_game”

_To change it, click on Screen1 in the designer and set the App Name in the box as shown below:_

You could also improve the instructions a bit. After clicking on some of the games, I have no idea what I have to do. _(I know about the long hold on the menu buttons)_

I also found a bug: If you don’t type anything in the text dialog on Articulate, you receive a bad arguments error.

Thanks @Conor, really appreciate the feedback. I actually tried changing the name in Google Play but (obviously) that didn’t work, I’m much happier with it now! I fixed the bad argument error too - I hadn’t spotted it so thanks again.  
The descriptions could definitely do with improving, but I want to get a few more sections added in first (Schematics quiz, Coulomb’s law calculator) so I might end up using a list view with better descriptions on Screen1.
