User reviews

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

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.

Functional, with high potential.

First of all, this app is great. It’s easy to use, the only one of it’s kind, and best of all, free. I really enjoy it.
That being said, I see a ton of potential for future updates. Some big ones are different map projections (Mercator, Robinson, etc.), globe controls (speed, lighting, etc.), and the ability to edit the layout of the map. I would also like to see a map mode like Elevation, but dependent on sea level. All in all, it is a great app.

Nice app… but…

I love the new 3D planet function, but i can’t save the 3D world, I can just see it without interacting with it, the 3D tool can be improved, for example with controls in the 3D viewer for rotating the world and change the view
