Usually great but now crashing
Crashes on iPad mini. Tried restarting as instructed in the update but that didn't help.BostonSocks
The concept is awesome but it needs a lot of work, it's just v1.0.0
I think it needs an update now, it's been almost 2 years…you guys have had enough time to enhance the app. You are not featured anymore in any apple event or anything, other apps have surpassed you in being the focus of attention.
The app is very good, I love the Orrery, it's just awesome, it's the best part of the app. You get to see the solar system spin from every angle as the planet you selected also spins around the sun.
However, ipad retina came out….you owe a retina update as you owe The elements a major overhaul and all your other apps. I think you already updated Barefoot atlas for retina…although the drawings are still not-retina. Please update the graphics and resolution.
I would like the planets to spin as they normally do in their explanation page. You can then touch them to stop them, move them around zoom in and out and then just do a quick flick so that they go back to spinning at their normal pace. That would be cool. The same way that in The Elements you don't keep the Nitrogen still, the vase is evaporating and fuming. I think that would be a good addition.Show lessawadulcecity
Great imagery. Full of opinion.
Basically. This app has great presentation. But when you dig in the writing is a long winded diatribe on the 'settled science' of global warming. Boring! I would have bought Al Gores crap if I wanted to hear that. Get a brain and write some original Fiction!FromIraq
Disappointing
I expected so much more for the price. The experience of this app is very similar to a glossy DK science book. There are very few animations and interactive activities. I am a teacher and considered this app for my classroom, but I will not use it because it is little more than a glowing encyclopedia. I do not consider this to be harnessing the power of technology in the classroom, except for perhaps the wow factor involved with holding an iPad. Students need to engage with the concepts, not be passive receptacles. The power of the iPad is in the ability to have dynamic content, not just a book that you press a button to turn the page.Show lessCrash Browser
Pretty awesome
Needs some work, but it is purely awesome-rjk3-
This is the future of textbooks
Hopefully, this app represents the future of interactive books. The only annoyance I've noticed is that you must have a network connection to bring up information on solar system bodies. Otherwise, the app crashes on my iPad 2. Other than that, I highly recommend this work of art!astroclubguy
5 stars all the way
This is one of the best iPad apps, hands down. Superb information and imagery. Worth every penny. All of the less than 5-star reviews clearly don't understand what this is supposed to be. It's amazing and a masterpiece.Zero Six
top space app
best app in the category of science or space. file size is large but totally worth it. hours of fun.bobbytumpak
Solar System out of this world
Great graphics and depth of information and organization. Fantastic app - it's what interactive publications should be like for the iPad. Nice work!Timbo@M
