### 1/5 — What did I Pay for?

*2020-04-03*

This sounded cool. I now have no idea how to use it nor can I find a you tube video to explain how it works on the Apple TV with remote. What a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Learn UI Design and Control

*2019-12-18*

Fell ripped off.  Took a long while to figure out you have to hold down the controller mouse button while simultaneously sliding a finger up to zoom in and down to zoom out.  Otherwise it just scrolls around.  The zoom in/out is, well, just wonky.

### 1/5 — Cannot do anything

*2019-12-10*

This app does nothing it advertised. You can see a globe and switch from day to night. I have been cheated.

### 1/5 — No zooming!

*2019-11-03*

can not zoom in/out as advertised.

### 1/5 — Navigation problems

*2019-07-13*

I will update my star rating of 1 star once I learn how to zoom in or zoom out.  Until then it is absolutely garbage in my opinion.
