“Brian Cox’s contribution to the understanding of the universe has been immense and we wanted to make the most of his television and publishing contributions by delivering something equally ground-breaking for the iPad. Working with the team at Harper Collins has been something of a dream come true for our developers, they quickly recognised and then supported our ambitions to deliver a Wonders app that is completely innovative and engaging.”
