  • Pretty but seemingly not too educational.

    For transparency sake I have only bought “the earth cycles” for a dollar but it doesn’t even go through earth orbital cycles, it goes through a really cool video of only the ORBIT!!! Not Aphelion, Perihelion, Axial Tilt and precession or anything else. It seems impossible to find any good educational apps that have more than the basic boring facts like distance, weight etc of a planet. SPEND MORE TIME ON MAKING APPS MORE DEEPLY EDUCATIONAL! This is still just pretty stuff, it looks very good but where is the actual educational value.From this single purchase I am hesitant to pay for more. Design something accurate and educational where people can see and adjust the rotations, orbits, tilts and precessions and how all that connects for the earth, moon and the planets so people can actually learn. ITS TIME FOR APP DEVELOPERS TO GET MORE SERIOUS ABOUT ACTUAL EDUCATION, people like me would pay quite a bit if a truly educational app that visual looked like this was ever available. Apps need to evolve past infotainment, a few facts and figures and pretty graphics.

  • Ads in paid version

    Yes, I missed that in the description. The app is beautiful, however that means little when many taps on the screen generate a pop up ad. I paid for the content, why am I constantly inundated by ridiculous ads?Response: I admitted that I overlooked that in the description of the app. I have several of your apps and this is not something I have seen from you before. The bigger issue is the ads are highly obtrusive. They are not some subtle header or footer, they over take the full screen and completely detach me from the experience of using your app. The enjoyment of using an app as beautiful as this is ruined when the ad pops up and I have to hunt a way to close it. It takes my entire focus away from the content I paid for and have come to expect because of your other apps I am delighted to use.

  • Wonderful app for children!!

    My 8 & 9 year old girls love astronomy and your app allows them to experience the solar system at their own pace. They can twist and spin the planets all they want. They screenshot their favorite pictures and make collages for their bedroom walls. The information is easy to access and understand. Thank you for giving them an application that is entertaining and educational. For all the parents out there; the extra content is inexpensive and the ads are easy to recognize. My girls never accidentally click on an ad. The whole screen changes so they are very aware that it's an ad and to find the X and close it. We have never experienced a crash or any programming problems.

    We are so glad you like our app. Thank you very much for the kind words! The only question is: why 4 stars?:)

  • Very disappointed.

    Solar Walk was the very first ever app I downloaded when I got my first iPhone just about 15 years ago. At first I spent hours upon hours “flying” through space and really liked the visuals. Lately however I haven’t been able to properly use the app. I have to delete it then redownload it to then only be able to open and peruse through it a single time before I’m forced to delete and redownload again. And when I do download it, each and every single time I try to restore my purchases (all the detailed map views and short vid’s), it doesn’t work.I only keep the app for no other reason than pure nostalgia.Very, very disappointed!!

  • Favorite solar system app

    This is a great app for viewing so much of the solar system. It's very easy to fly to different planets and their larger moons, and there's a lot of good info on them as well.My favorite part has to be the time lapse. Watching the sun rise over the Earth from the space station is breathtaking!Yes, it's. Few extra dollars to get more than the Saturn system, but some people need to stop complaining about not getting the world for free. Literally, in this case.

  • GREAT GAME But..

    Could you add the minor moons of Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune and make it so it has textured Pluto surface and textured mercury surface and please make it so you could see The surface of the planets and moons by flying to it and please add a zoom feature so you could zoom in and see things that are very far away like you could be on earths surface and then you can zoom in on the Moon or maybe Venus
