  • This is hilarious

    The earth is flat this is all cgi crap lol
  • MASSIVE download

    This app is a major storage hog. Took forever to download and takes up way too much space on my phone. Only a few of the videos are any good too. Why doesn’t it stream like every other app does? Not worth it - deleted
  • Outstanding atmospheric visuals

    I’m a fan of both all things space and atmospheric ambient so this app really satisfies. I’ll often just park it on my phone and let it run on my desk while I’m working. Very seamless and reliable. I wish that they would add more clips but great as is. Nice work, Devs!
  • I just wanted to change my 5 start to 5 star+

    I was written by Jenson Creative LLC about my concerns about the APP and for the first time I actually had someone write me personally about my concerns instead of like other most other apps seem to do with their auto responses to customers. It was very much appreciated and Thank You for letting me know basically what I was afraid was going on but that assurance that you all have been doing to the best you could with what you’ve got and sometimes circumstances are just very hard to over come. Thank You again for the quick feedback and I of course would help out if possible. I feel it should be education given out to people as well.

    Developer Response

    Hi, sorry you are unhappy. I assure you there’s a reasonable explanation for what you are observing. (1) Starting about four years ago, Apple stopped allowing developers to edit their app descriptions without updating their app. So if something changes or becomes inaccurate, the text can’t simply be edited. (2) In addition, Apple continues to increase the technical requirements on apps, such that submitting an update requires substantial work. (3) About two years ago, USTREAM, the company who hosted the live stream, was acquired by IBM. About a year later, IBM shut off the free API to access the live stream, and now wants to charge an hourly rate for access. (4) There is no affordable way for me to pay a per hour, per customer rate for the live stream when the app makes no profit. (5) Our only other choice is to remove the app from the store. Because the app is actively used in educational institutions around the world, we do not want to remove it. Aside from that, thousands of people are happy with it as is, and are comfortable switching to the NASA app when they want to see the livestream. As an indie developer I’m just one person with a tiny boat in a sea of giants like Apple and IBM. When they make certain decisions or apply certain requirements, there’s no mechanism to protest, I just have to get on board. Best regards and have a good day.
  • Live view!!!

    Not working!!!!!!!
  • It could have been great

    But you can’t airplay the live view. I don’t get why but it’s the only thing I really wanted.
  • Beautiful

    Good stuff
  • Image quality

    Need to do an improvement on the poor quality, really blurry, not even close to being HD.
  • Greedy!

    You want to charge separately for the Apple TV app??!! On your bike...
  • Almost good

    Sure it looks better on iPad but on appleTV it is far from HD. On appleTV the image is blurred and no great details. Live camera is worst.
    Hope they will keep adding new videos because I have already watched them all many many times, I'm really anxious to fly over other parts of the earth. I love this view of the Earth from above, it really gives us the real perspective of the place we live in. The Earth is small enough to be easily destroyed. Watching the Earth from above make us think about how stupid we are, fighting, creating borders and thinking we are the masters. We can get our sense of ridiculous by simply understanding where we really are in this Universe.
