I don’t get why but it’s the only thing I really wanted. ### 3/5 — Image quality *2017-10-16, version 3.14* Need to do an improvement on the poor quality, really blurry, not even close to being HD. ### 3/5 — Almost good *2016-06-18, version 3.14* Sure it looks better on iPad but on appleTV it is far from HD. On appleTV the image is blurred and no great details. Live camera is worst. Hope they will keep adding new videos because I have already watched them all many many times, I'm really anxious to fly over other parts of the earth. I love this view of the Earth from above, it really gives us the real perspective of the place we live in. The Earth is small enough to be easily destroyed. Watching the Earth from above make us think about how stupid we are, fighting, creating borders and thinking we are the masters. We can get our sense of ridiculous by simply understanding where we really are in this Universe. ### 3/5 — Good start but.... *2015-11-04, version 3.1* Some beautiful space scenes but it gets boring quite quickly as there is so little content to choose from, and I don't want to buy the add-on Magic Window app because I just bought this! No Chromecast support and you can't choose your own music, only the new-age sounding dream music. ### 3/5 — New photos *2015-09-10, version 3.1* It would be great if you could add new photos. ### 4/5 — uuuufffffffoooo *2015-08-04, version 3.1* point: omg , u can see the ufo in this pictures, but u need focus on the night sky! ### 2/5 — 실시간이 아닌가벼 *2015-04-28* 그냥 움짤이네 ### 2/5 — No real action *2015-01-08, version 3.1* Images are prerecorded and probably edited, so we couldn't see any other activities or objects that we're not 'allowed' to see in outer space. How about a real time video stream from the Earth's orbit without editing? ### 2/5 — It's just a loop *2014-11-04, version 3.1* This could of been really great, but it's just a loop of the same video quite disappointing. ### 2/5 — Not what I wanted. *2014-10-28, version 3.1* What I wanted was an app that would let you look at different angles of where the northern lights are and other stuff like that. Not just a circulation of the globe. ### 2/5 — Херня! *2014-10-24* На качайте! Не интересно! Просто изображение планет некоторых и все, хрень! ### 2/5 — Great pictures but boring *2014-10-23, version 3.1* I downloaded this when I found out it was free. The pictures are beautiful and it's amazing to see our beautiful Earth. However, I was expecting that the pictures would be updated every so often. After a while it's boring to see the same stuff over and over again. ### 5/5 — Review *2014-10-20, version 3.1* What could I say is That is fantastic and rate it 5* Sincerely yours ASSAD ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good app when working *2024-10-03, version 3.1415* The weather is showing forecast it’s blank space station it’s not right working . Please fix’s Earthlapse and I will give you a five star rating.iPad os and iOS iPhone too. Thank you ### 1/5 — This is hilarious *2023-07-12, version 3.1415* The earth is flat this is all cgi crap lol ### 1/5 — MASSIVE download *2022-06-28, version 3.1415* 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 ### 1/5 — Live view!!! *2019-03-27, version 3.1415* Not working!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Greedy! *2017-09-14, version 3.14* You want to charge separately for the Apple TV app??!! On your bike... ### 1/5 — Not what I expected *2016-01-08, version 3.1* I had assumed, incorrectly, that this would provide a real-time view from the space station. I has some recorded clips of past views in short loops. Nice but ho-hum. Uses half a gig of storage. I got it for free. Deleting it. Don't pay for it. ### 1/5 — It would look nice on my TV... ;( *2015-11-10, version 3.1* I understand the business decision to create and release a separate version of this app specific to the new Apple TV, but I don't have to like it. To be honest I have gotten little use out of the iPad version and if they had updated it to work with my new Apple TV then I would have been likely to give it a much higher rating as the content would have been simpler to share with others... After all, It is sort of inherently a TV app. But, I see absolutely no reason to spend more money on this app that I already own. It's just not worth it to me. They will likely claim a technical reason (developers oftentimes do) but I doubt that greatly... This is a quite simple app and I have already seen other much more complex apps that I own made fully universal. So I am off to give those developers rave reviews, and my thanks for doing what I feel is the right thing. ### 1/5 — Cool app, bad description *2014-10-18, version 3.1* I like the app but the description has a major inaccuracy. According to the app description it works perfectly on old devices and this would make be "a great use of your old ipad1 or 2". I would love to use this on my old iPad 1, unfortunately all iPad 1's are stuck on iOS 5.1.1 due to hardware limitations , and will probably never advance beyond that point. Unfortunately this app requires iOS 7.0 or above, so the original iPad owners are out of luck unless jetson creative lowers the requirement. I hope they do because this would be very nice on my dusty iPad 1. ### 1/5 — Хм *2014-10-17* Красиво прикольно но Это не в реальном времени ### 1/5 — Not good *2014-07-10, version 3.0* This is a shi*** ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome images *2026-05-03, version 3.1415* Awesome images and background music. Relaxing and intriguing. Play to find a relaxing series of images of the earth from the SST. ### 5/5 — Outstanding atmospheric visuals *2021-01-28, version 3.1415* 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! ### 5/5 — I just wanted to change my 5 start to 5 star+ *2019-08-24, version 3.1415* I was written by Jenson Creative LLC about my concerns about the APP and for the first time I actually had someone write me personally about my concerns instead of like other most other apps seem to do with their auto responses to customers. It was very much appreciated and Thank You for letting me know basically what I was afraid was going on but that assurance that you all have been doing to the best you could with what you’ve got and sometimes circumstances are just very hard to over come. Thank You again for the quick feedback and I of course would help out if possible. I feel it should be education given out to people as well. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2017-12-03, version 3.1415* Good stuff ### 5/5 — Awesome update 3.14 *2016-06-05, version 3.14* The latest update is most welcome with the live view from the space station. Love it! All that is missing in the live view is an overlay showing the position of the space station so that we have an idea when it is in the day zone of the earth. ### 5/5 — 구매목록 삭제해 주세요. *2016-01-30* 구매목록 삭제해 주세요. ### 5/5 — Good app *2015-05-15, version 3.1* Great app ### 5/5 — 구매목록 삭제부탁드립니다 *2015-05-01* 구매목록 삭제부탁드립니다 ### 5/5 — 구입목록 삭제해주세요! *2015-04-26* 구입목록 삭제해주세요! ### 5/5 — Very very cool *2015-04-25, version 3.1* This app is awesome. I recommend streaming to your HDTV from your iPhone or iPad via Apple TV. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
