Reviews of Terra

  • Good, but needs improvement

    Some of the features such as the earthquake data is inaccurate as well as the underground weather radar, good app, not worth the price.
  • Terra

    Fantastic, a wow for any Earth/Science geek. Will definitely be using this in my 8th grade science classroom, as well as at home & on the road! Gives the big perspective/view for our planet & moon, in real time, and very visually-- beautiful.
  • This App has great potential

    I love seeing exactly where the Sun is directly overhead and the ability to see the Latitude, and Longitude of where the Sun is directly overhead on this planet.

    Can you add a feature to lock on the Sun, and zoom in, like with Microsoft Terraserver maps?

    Take a look at GeoClock for the PC

    Thanks
