So, no more updates to content? - Way behind
I like the interface for walking students through research methods. It's cleaner / faster than a full up 3D interface on the iPad and a big screen.
But if you're not going to keep up with the rapidly changing local universe...

Buy Solar Walk 2 instead
I recently downloaded the Solar System app and I'm thoroughly disappointed to find it crashes as often as it does. Especially when I tap on the song, sometimes it plays, most often the app just freezes. On the rare occasion the app does play the song it then returns to the menu that's become totally unresponsive! I have to shut down the app every time with it. Not something anyone expects for a £10 app! (I'm using the app on the new 9.7" iPad Pro with the latest iOS installed)
Also, whilst this app does contain the key facts the presentation for that information is decidedly lacking; I find I still have to consult the far cheaper and better designed Solar Walk 2 app when this one should contain everything for the price!

Worthless
This app worked fine before the latest upgrade. Now it won't even open. The upgrade reaches about 20% then freezes permanently. Reinstalling the app won't work either.
Overall, a good buy.
This app is very informative and interactive. I got it for my kids but think I enjoy it more than they do. My only grievance is with Pluto. After all the hype and spectacular wonders we recently saw with the little planet that could, it is not reflected in this app. Please do an update for this and other items recently discovered.

Touchpress Support ignore you
I love Touchpress apps including this one but my view changed once I had a problem and contacted support - no response. I tried again - ignored again. It seems I am required to purchase an app again if I want to receive upgrades. Not good enough! I’ll think twice before purchasing Touchpress apps again.

Needs update
Pluto and Ceres updates needed. Info is rather limited in general. Visually pleasing though. If it wasn't on sale and I purchased... I'd be somewhat disappointed.
Typos
Nicely put together no doubt, but do we really have to put up with typos? If there are errors in the English it makes it that much harder to trust the accuracy of the information. Disappointing.
Five Stars Once Updated
Please update w/modern Ceres, Pluto, and Charon images...not to mention Pluto's other newly discovered moons (yes we know it's classified as a dwarf planet). Everything else is quite enjoyable. Thank you!
Great app... It crashes frequently throughout my experience.
Very good detail, enhanced graphics, I love it! But I can't work the kinks on the crashing problem.
Great app...
...but would like to see an update with new discoveries and updated pictures tied to Pluto and Ceres.
