MASSIVE download

This app is a major storage hog. Took forever to download and takes up way too much space on my phone. Only a few of the videos are any good too. Why doesn’t it stream like every other app does? Not worth it - deleted

Outstanding atmospheric visuals

I’m a fan of both all things space and atmospheric ambient so this app really satisfies. I’ll often just park it on my phone and let it run on my desk while I’m working. Very seamless and reliable. I wish that they would add more clips but great as is. Nice work, Devs!
