Leave a Review Mars Globe HD
??!
I gave it a 2 because I don't see any difference in the resolution. Nada. Free version looks just the same- crisp and sharp. I call shenanigans - but wouldn't have minded paying for the free version - so whatever.Sue-T
Great
Very informative. Great interfaceFuzzyMonkey94
Worth every penny!
To be perfectly honest, the paid version of this app offers only slightly more detail than the free app. However, the app itself is so interesting and well designed, that I was willing to pay the 99 cents in appreciation and support of a great app! In other words, I'd have been happy to pay 99 cents for the free version! It's very detailed and in one mode where the retangular option box merely has the distance tag, it is almost as if you are in the space probe itself, orbiting the planet! For those space affecionados, this is an app worth more than the cost! See also the Moon version from the same creator!Show lessJack2065
scary cool
Sick and scary cool App. I'm teaching my kid about Mars and space exploration and he loves it. How can that not be worth a dollar?Moses Avalon
Very well done
This is a very well-organized app, with plenty of detailed explanations. The globe itself has good resolution and can switch to topographical mode. The 3D view wsa a surprise,and I'm looking forward to seeing it with 3D glasses at some point.
It offers a guided tour, an alphabetical list of features, or filters data two ot three different ways. Anyone but the people at the Jet Propulsion Lab should find new things to learn about Mars here.
It surprised me how good this app was, and I can't think of anything realistic that I could ask for that isn't here.Show lessScience Fan
Window from Mars orbit
I like to zoom in as close to the surface as possible, position the horizon in the middle of the view, set Mars spinning very slowly and just relax and watch. Very relaxing. Just like having my own view from Mars orbit.
Would love to see a similar Earth Globe HD product. Though that might prove a very difficult challenge, given the beauty and detail and data volume and processing requirements involved. Still, would love to see it attempted.
Thanks for creating this.Show lessSpringfieldMH
Great For Understanding Martian Geography
I bought this app while reading the sci-fi classic Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson. The books make many long and detailed references to Martian geography, which plays a crucial role in the series. This app was very helpful in picturing what I was reading, and made the books much more accessible. I would recommend this for anyone reading the Mars Trilogy, or for anyone who just wants to get a detailed look at Mars. I deducted a star because the controls are sometimes difficult to use.Show lessZross312
Nice Science App
Very nice science based app, great educational tool. Graphics are beautifully executed. Really shows off the iPad's abilities and touch interface works smoothly.HuskerDave
Not worth it
Not worth it. Looks nice zoomed out but zoom in a little doesn't look nice at all. Don't know while the file size is so large most of the info the app takes you just to a website. Don't buy it. Not worth .99Maingon
Amazing app...if you can spare the memory.
First of all, 594 MB????????????? That's insane!
Fortunately, I bought a 64GB since I always run out of memory on my portible devices. If I had a 16GB I would have avoided this. But, the app is stunning if you are an astronomy geek. An amazing amount of detail. And a great deal at $0.99. I will likely try to find more room for the Moon Globe HD when it gets released (hopefully soon).
Even if you can't spare the room to keep it on your ipad, it's worth $0.99 just to play with this thing. Stunning!Show lessRaymond23
