### 4/5 — Amazing but no galaxies

*2026-07-09*

This app is absolutely amazing, but the only issue is that i can't figure out how to click on galaxies. Either that or it's not possible, so even if there are no exoplanets in that galaxy that are confirmed i would still like to view them

### 4/5 — Great app but

*2026-05-20, version 13.1.3*

Great app and software but why not increasing number of exoplanets for the past year or more

### 4/5 — Great app but one problem

*2026-05-08, version 13.1.3*

It doesn’t have Alpha Centauri A & B but still very good

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2026-03-21, version 13.1.3*

This app is so cool! It lets you see rouge planers , but you have to get a buy pass for some of the app’s features, overall, this pp is so good

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-03-10, version 13.1.3*

I found planets that could have life

### 5/5 — wow

*2026-02-13, version 13.1.3*

Good

### 5/5 — Excellent Exoplanets

*2026-02-08, version 13.1.3*

This app is absolutely wonderful! I really enjoy the interactiveness of the app! But, I feel like the amount of updates to the app is lacking. The last exoplanet for me that was updated in 2023. So, with that being said, please update this app more!! It has lots of potential and I really enjoy it! 
Sincerely, Ian Crisp

### 2/5 — H

*2025-12-20, version 13.1.3*

### 1/5 — I thought it was a different game.

*2026-08-07*

I thought this was like universe sandbox, plus pocket galaxy: express, plus universe palm. So I was always looking for universe sandbox but I thought this game was like universe sandbox. But this game is not letting me go to the galaxy clusters but universe palm let’s me go to Lanakea super cluster, local group of galaxies, the Great Walls, CFA2 Great Wall, and the observable universe. Well,we were supposed to place planets like universe sandbox, and pocket galaxy. This game is different than other games. This is soooooooooo lame. This game makes me exhausted because this game is so boring and lame. I want it to be like a game with a mix of pocket galaxy, universe sandbox, and universe palm. I told you. You are bad because you like it. This game is a bad game😡. Please do not have this game. More than 100 people think that this game is fun. answer: yes. They should dislike the game. So that’s why I added 1 star. This game is boring due to tapping on planets. I am going to tell you why I hate this game. Firstly, you have to tap on the planets and stars. Secondly, the Other exoplanets and planets that are not in the solar system will cover what they look like with only the name of the planet. Thirdly, you cannot add rocky planets, gas giants, stars, asteroids, comets, and blackholes. Fourthly, they will not let you go to galaxy clusters, et cetera. I need a developer response and this game is different than other games.
