# Popular Science App | Articles, Videos, Q&A | GoodBarber

[https://portalstorage.ww-cdn.com/misc/1718785578165_26-membership_sciences_technology_vid1_processed.webm](https://portalstorage.ww-cdn.com/misc/1718785578165_26-membership_sciences_technology_vid1_processed.webm)

Create a popular science app

# Popular science app: your articles and videos for subscribers, plus your readers' questions

## Physics, living things, climate, space, computing: you explain science, readers send you their questions, and a subscription opens all your features and videos.

For a science outlet, a channel or an outreach association: an iOS and Android app of its own, made without code, with sections by discipline, features and videos reserved for subscribers, a question form, and Chatbot answers drawn from your articles.

## “Why is the sea salty?”

### Readers' questions become your best stories

A Form section invites readers to send their question, with a photo if they want to show an insect or an odd cloud. Each submission reaches you by email. You pick the best ones and answer them in articles in a “Your questions” section; the automatic push tells readers when it is out, and the person who asked sees their curiosity turned into a story.

## One section per discipline

### From living things to climate, locked or open features

Sort your articles the way readers look for them: physics, biology, environment, space, health, computing. Each article is open or reserved; on a reserved feature, non-subscribers read the beginning, up to the paragraph you choose. Diagrams, photos and charts sit in the text, where they help understanding.

## Videos that explain

### Filmed experiments and animations, reserved or free

Upload your videos to a video section of the app: the candle that goes out under a glass, the animation of a dividing cell. Reserve them for subscribers or leave a few free to spark interest. Bandwidth is not billed; the files use your plan's storage.

## Article, uploaded video, YouTube video: what each allows

Three formats for explaining science, three behaviors in the app.

|                             | Article                        | Video uploaded to the app            | YouTube section     |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ | ------------------- |
| Lockable for subscribers    | ✓ yes, with a readable opening | ✓ yes                                | no, it stays public |
| Read by the Chatbot         | ✓ yes, text included           | no                                   | no                  |
| Where the content is stored | in your plan's space           | in your plan's space, bandwidth free | on YouTube          |

For a video to feed the Chatbot too, pair it with an article that sums up its point.

## AI for science outreach

Three practical uses, with their price.

To answer

### A Chatbot that cites your articles

It answers “Do bees sleep?” from your texts, replying in whatever language the reader used and linking the articles behind the answer; non-subscribers only get answers drawn from free articles.

$35/month

To experiment

### A falling-objects simulator

Picture a section where you pick a height and a planet to see how long a fall takes: described in a few sentences in the back office, the AI Extension Builder builds it and adds it to the app.

Free

To measure

### What works, asked of Claude

Once linked to the app via MCP, your AI assistant looks up your statistics: “which features were read most this month?”. You know what to explore further.

Included

## More for curious minds

### Search across every feature

One word, “photosynthesis” or “black hole”, and the articles appear.

### Bookmarks

Readers keep a feature to finish later.

### Guest researchers

Each author signs their articles, with their name at the top.

### Scheduled releases

The eclipse article comes out that very morning.

### Comments

Readers react below the article.

## Pricing for a popular science app

Premium publishes the app in the stores. To sell the subscription, add Memberships to it; the Pro plan already includes it. The form, push and videos come included, within your plan's storage.

| **Premium** · iOS and Android apps plus web app | $55 /month, billed yearly  |
| ----------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Memberships, added to Premium                   | $49 /month                 |
| **Pro** · subscriptions included                | $105 /month, billed yearly |

Every subscription pays the store's cut: usually 15%, or 30% at Apple during a subscriber's first twelve months unless you joined its small business program. Nothing goes to GoodBarber.

## Popular science app: what people ask us

**### Can a video published on YouTube become subscribers-only?**

No: a section fed by YouTube stays visible to everyone. To reserve a video, upload it to a video section of the app, then lock it.

**### We mostly cover biology and the environment: is this app right for us?**

Yes. Create one section per theme (biodiversity, oceans, climate, urban ecology) and reserve the in-depth features for subscribers; the form collects your readers' field observations.

**### How many items do I need before launching the subscription?**

Ten reserved items at minimum. Your web app needs to be live on its own domain name, and locked content opens to subscribers after the stores have reviewed the app.

**### Can a subscriber read on their computer?**

Yes. They subscribe from the iPhone or Android app, and the same login then opens the web version in a browser; the web version itself only redirects to the stores for purchase.

**### Can we give access to a class or a science club?**

Yes: in the back office, each account concerned can receive a gifted subscription, for the length you choose.

**### Which plan is needed?**

You need Premium with its Memberships option, or Pro straight away. Standard, confined to the web app, rules out selling subscriptions.

## They built their app with GoodBarber

Customer reviews, all sectors combined.

### [GoodBarber is a powerful app builder.](https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/60f08679f9f48702a8e6869e)

GoodBarber is a powerful app builder. If you want to build your app using a pre-built template, GoodBarber is ideal for you. At Global Academy, we almost completed the 5th year using their easy-to-use pre-built platforms to build premium Apps for our customers. Also, Goodbarber's customer support is excellent. Highly recommended.

### [Great support and always very helpful answers.](https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/60c0ca7cf9f487099ce24eb9)

Great support and always very helpful answers. Nothing is too trivial for the team to answer.

### [Responsive support and usually quick.](https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/60ad3c03f9f4870a94ace1d1)

Responsive support and usually quick. Software is by far the best in the market, with tremendous capabilities for configurations.
