I like it!

Fun to fly, reacts well. Would be better if you could set the view angle with a fingertip vis pointing the device, but other than that I think it is worth a buck

Fun!!

It took me three tries to land safely. Now I am making it my goal to see how much fuel I can land with. The graphics are awesome!

One suggestion: Include the Abort button. When pressed, it would jettison the descent stage and engage the AGS, just to give us the option of having something cool to watch after we badly screw up.

Boring

zzzzzzzzzz

Apollo Eagle advice/praise!

This is one of my favorite space related apps that I have and you've done a marvelous job of letting the player experience what it was like to land in the moon. I love the real time sounds of the Apollo 11 powered descent and that it gives you all the critical data in order to safely land. It's simple yet intriguingly difficult. Well done! The one thing that I would potentially recommend for a future update, is it maybe have an interior cockpit view to land from. Best of luck!

Extremely Realistic Lunar Landing App

While most of the lunar landing apps are little more than games based on the 1970's Atari version, This app accurately recreates the flight dynamics and physics of the Apollo Lunar Module on its powered descent from lunar orbit to the surface of the moon. By altering thrust and pitch the pilot is able to control the descent while being fed the critical data of pitch, forward velocity, vertical rate of descent and remaining fuel level. The Lunar Module is faithfully and beautifully rendered and the player is treated to different views simply by rotating the screen all with a background soundtrack of the actual lunar landing from Apollo 11 on July 20th,1969. This mighty little app is the rare combination of lessons in orbital mechanics, Newtons Laws of physics, and history, all wrapped in an entertaining package for just $0.99 cents
