Ratings and Reviews
I love it. But needs work.
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve absolutely loved Mars and now I love it even more so this app lets me explore The Red Planet and discover the names of all the landmarks. bBut it needs something that makes the app even more immersive, like adding the Planets of the Solar System and the Sun in the background aswell as Mars’s 2 moons. Also, adding something that allows you to see the location of the different Rovers and maybe Mars could have a thing where the planet rotates and has day and night and we are able to slow it down to look at Mars closer up. I would love the app even more if these fetures were added.
I take my astronomy seriously!
This app has always been very accurate, observing mars it’s one of my favourite things to do every 18 months. This app gives me superb Topographical detail, in real time. so I always know what I’m looking for even when the seeing conditions aren't good!
This app is great for the armchair astronomer or the serious observer🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭
Missing a vital feature
Like MoonGlobeHD this is a great app, intuitive, tactile, gorgeous and informative. BUT it is missing one vital feature - the ability to see what Mars looks like when viewed from earth. If you are looking at Mars through a telescope and want to identify the features which are visible now, this app doesn’t help! It’s perplexing because the sister app has this feature - it’s called the ‘Viewpoint’ feature and allows you to see the correct phase and orientation as viewed from earth. Huge omission which makes it barely useable for the observational astronomer.
