  • Realistic setting

    I originally thought to give this app a lower rating but, I discovered in the app settings a realistic switch. It takes you to pretty close to the real thing. Very nice worthy of a five.
  • Thanks for the update :)!

    I am so happy. I am so sorry for being rude. I will not do this to you again. And I am thankful for learning my lesson. You rock. Well you are a awesome person and they will give you a 10.
  • Wow, this appblew me away

    This app is so detailed an accurate.
    Stunning graphics and great processing speed. Even on an iPhone X.

    I also have the app on my Mac and Pc, I use it in my middle school science class.
    The kids love it. Well worth the price.
  • Very Educational

    I've been studying astronomy for a few years now and just found this tool. it is amazingly useful and it the $3 in app purchase upgrade was totally worth it. I do wish that you could get information on stars. Furthermore, the app occasionally crashes; so that is something that should be fixed. The new app icon looks so much better; Thanks for taking my suggestion. [old- I also would like to see a redesign for the app icon.]
    Anyway, i would usually give this app 4 stars but since i haven't seen an app that looks, feels, and functions as well as this one and because it looks like you need a few more 5 star reviews I would love to help out by providing one.

    Dear Parshall, thank you so much for such a nice feedback. Can you let us know what device you have , so we know what to check out for the crashes. We will add the star information to our ideas and we will definitely think about it. Regarding the logo, what exaclty you have in mind? And again thank you so much for such a great review.
  • It's great.

    Awesome app, love the beautiful new icon included with the update. Not overly complicated as some others are. Just sit back and watch our Solar System.
  • Get r done

    I like this app a lot
    BUT I’m still going to rate it down because it takes over my phone and my Mac and the only way to exit is to shut down my phone or computer
    It’s a five star if you fix that
  • Wish you could zoom into earth

    I have used the website and now this app for years and I’ve learned a lot from it.

    My biggest frustration is I have always wanted to zoom in on the part of earth facing the sun to see its position. You can sort of see it from behind the sun but always you’re left with wanting to zoom in to get a closer look. There are some zooming features but it always seems like a frustrating experience and it blocks you from getting it exactly where you want it.

    Other than that, it’s been a really useful website/app over the years.

    Thank you so much for the feedback, and we will try to improve the zooming.
  • A good start, but it needs some work

    This app has many details, but could use some work. Examples: There are many comets and their orbits shown, and the comets look spectacular, but one I noticed was missing was the Hale-Bopp Comet that was clearly visible in the night sky in 1997. Even though this comet will not be visible in the night sky again for over 1000 years, it should be part of this app. Planetary and planet moon details are also limited and should be improved. Use Celestial as an example of how this app can be improved.

  • It’s Changed

    When I first bought the app, you could view the solar system with the orbits close together so you could see how they compare. Now you can only see the natural planet orbits and you have to zoom way out. And it’s hard to compare the planet orbits because the planet size is too small and scale is too large in natural orbit view. I’ll give this app 5 stars if you bring that function back where you can see the planet orbits close together.

  • Since update crashes on startup

    So, i purchased the desktop version for Windows, i purchased the iPad Pro and iPhone iOS version, i purchased the 3d models of the solar system upgrade pack, and....nothing?
    Your software doesn't work.
    On iOS, it won't even open. As i said, it crashes on startup.
    (and i even went to the trouble of completely erasing my brand new iPad Pro 12.9 and reinstalling all its programs and resetting all its settings as a new device because i want to use your software.)
    I firts contacted your company about this months ago.
    I'm sure you folks are good people making a fun product, and i would imagine you take your work seriously, but if you take money from someone then don't supply the product that was paid for, that's a scam.
    It has been MONTHS ihave patiently waited for a resolution to this issue.
    I don't have anything i paid for from your company, (excepting the desktop Windows version, which works just fine.)
    And the one reply i got from you is just to say "thanx for the email"?
    It's been so long now that the software i bought from your company crashes on startup that i'm now on a newer version of the operating system, that being 11.4.
    I would expecteithera refund of my purchase price or some kind of resolution to the issues that prevent me from using the product i purchased from you.
    I await your detailed reply with answers to my inquiry.
