Decent

Not too many issues. Good job on making a map generator that is good. Way better than drawing all the fine details by hand. Thanks.
Perfect game and updatesPerfect game and updates

I really like it

I like that I don’t get f fully done out male bcs I draw my own and it’s good for when I’m not sure what I want the continents to look like
I love very little childrenI love very little children

You can’t really do anything

You have to pay for most of the features and you can’t do anything with the map, you can’t even see the whole map, I do not recommend.

Suggestion

It’s a great app, but I’d like to be able to save the ‘planet’ image as a gif instead of using the screen recording to make a video of it.
