Beautiful

Just curious, does this show real-time position of earth relative to the current month? When I chose 'today' December 11, it looks like it's lined up with February. But I might be misreading it. Thank you!

Disappointing

Looks nice enough, but (and I know this is contradictory) canโ€™t see everything at the same time, and itโ€™s not to scale - everything is far too close together.

It could be improved

Iโ€™m hoping it is still being improved as it is fascinating to see the planets move and all... but it lacks in options as I wanted to see the planets in different signs but I think itโ€™s in Greek?
The date selection isnโ€™t working,
Venus and other planet cycles arenโ€™t working as they move in accordance but it just spins in one location... It has potential and would love to see it improved.

Better than an orrery I saw as a kid

Orrery is just lovely. Itโ€™s designed for the perspective on our solar system, but I find I relax almost meditatively while watching this, and the appropriate ethereal music is a treat.

Music, Soundtrack?

I love this app, which for a moment reminds us and invite us to zoom out into the solar system.

Iโ€™d love to know the artist of the musical piece; I simply find it quite soothing..

Actually incredible!

I donโ€™t like paying for apps usually , but Iโ€™m heavily into space/ universe. This app has been beautifully made , and is by far worth more money .
Itโ€™s absolutely beautiful to sit and look and explore the planets.
Thank you so much for this app. Peace out ๐Ÿ‘

Mesmerizing

Very happy to see this app updated for IOS 11 compatibility. Quote fun and beautifully engrossing to open and play around with the intuitive controls. The ability with a few nudges to see current positions of planets from different points of view (and in time) make this one of my favorite apps. Love it!

Do not install this version

Do not install this version on 6s with iOS 11, it crashes every time.

Response from developer

Please try to de-&reinstall the App, it will run fine on 6s.

Simply Beautiful. PLEASE KEEP IT ALIVE.

Absolutely lovely visuals. Such a thoughtful and educational app. As another reviewer noted, it's what the iPad was made for.

The warnings however, keep coming. The next iOS upgrade will most unfortunately antiquate your tremendous resource. Please don't let your obvious hard work go by the wayside.

Ok

It's a nice animation, hardly worth paying for though!!
