Space Simulator 4+

Honestly, I want to rate this 5 stars. I’d love to get those extra Apollo 13 missions. BUT...and this is a BIG but...I spent a fairly decent amount of time on a custom mission, saved the progress, and now? The app crashes every time I try to resume it. Why? I restart the app, it crashes. I choose other saved missions, and it’s fine. I choose THAT particular mission, and it crashes. I feel like what was a waste of time was now also a waste of money. Two hours ago, I would’ve said differently.

The concept of the app is great. Much of the mission detail is incredible. There is a lot to learn from this app, for those so inclined. I was enjoying it, until that which I had learned is now, apparently, lost. Maybe I’ll make use of it again; maybe not. I really wanted to rate this 5 stars. But, now it just feels like a waste of time, and I could’ve spent those $5 elsewhere.

I’ve had Space Simulator for well over 4 years now and I LOVE IT! It’s the closest thing there is on iOS to being an astronaut (minus the astrophysics and aviation knowedge!). It’s realism is phenomenal, especially the fully-functioning AGC.

The reason I gave it four stars is because an update needs to be released. For starters, there is no iPhone X and up support, meaning that you just have empty spots of black on the sides of the screen. Next is a big fix for the AGC. Entering certain commands will cause the app to crash (ie VERB 35 Enter is the command to test the DSKY lamps. Entering it on here causes the app to, well, crash). Lastly, while not an issue (for me, at least), there needs to be a more detailed menu as I’ve seen one star reviews of people saying the app does nothing but show you an orbiting Sputnik. Side-note: if you’re one of those people, just tap the little button in the top right corner to access the menu :)

All in all, it’s one of the most advanced sims available for iOS. If you’re interested in space (or you’re even studying/pursuing a career in the field), buy this app. You won’t regret it!

This sim is amazing, however, there are a lot of bugs that came with the new version update. I can't get any response from the developer, even on their website. All the cockpits are Apollo, plz fix this, the space shuttle interior should be more realistic and the actual authentic interiors. The LEM needs the overhead port window for docking, also it needs a docking target outside for docking with the CSM. The CSM needs the docking reticle for docking with the LEM. The thruster controls don't work properly since the update and makes docking very frustrating. The AGC codes are scarce and buggy. This sim is worth the effort, I've been playing it for years but the updates are slow. I wouldn't give 5 stars if I couldn't play the new missions without doing so, that's kinda shady to make it like that guys. Don't get me wrong here, I love this sim, that's why I'm being honest, plz help us out here!
