Ratings and Reviews
Great App for star gazing of all ages
Thought this would be another generic star mapping app, but I was way off.
Very detailed and immersive look amongst the stars. The added little (not expected) bonus of taking control of a little space ship to fly amongst them, and then land On a planet to explore had my kids visiting the planets for some time.
Onto the level of information, which is outstanding and informative, seems every nerd detail has been catered for, and whilst hand on heart do not know what a lot of it means!, it was still interesting to read through.
Genuinely great app and top marks to the dev for this worthy of a 5 stars imho.
Developer Response ,
It was really inspiring reading this review. Things like these is what really keeps me going, adding new features and fixing bugs. Thank you!
P.S. Try going inside a gas giant (I recommend Neptune) and reach the solid core. It might feel a bit frightening for children because it's dark.
Rubbish
Downloaded. Took several attempts incl having to change Apple passwords! Got there eventually. Vague map of Milky Way + Sun highlighted and that was it. No pics, sod all. Very disappointed. Not recommended. Save your money buy another version !
Developer Response ,
Besides many bug fixes, a lot of cool new features have been added over the years. If you are still interested about space, please give the app another chance. Thank you!
