Unique take!
Great concept great sim. Thank you for keeping it updated for latest ios!
Great game
Played it many years ago on programmable calculator, and it was slow and boring. This one is the same physics, but it's realtime - and realtime changes game perception completely! Just cannot stop playing it for many days :-)
Simplicity-to-entertainment ratio: infinite
This game has more replay value than any game I've played before. Not it only does it demonstrate the physics of orbital flight, it also illustrates the need for careful and considered expenditure of fuel.
If I was trapped on a desert island with one game, this would be it.
I'd suggest
* Adding a + / - to the time slider. Often just 2x or 3x is desired and having to either momentarily jump to 10x while trying to use the slider is problematic, and having to pause first to avoid this jump is a pain.
* Offering faster time-advance than 60x. sometimes it's fun to watch the lander zip around if you've botched the docking.
* Option to set the orbit trail length.
* Projected path option.
* A guide. Some things I didn't understand at first, but had to figure out, and some things I still don't understand.

Lander
This landing simulator is challenging in a 2d format, docking of space station is kinda hard and landing back on the moon at zero degrees also kinda hard
Realistic
Cool
Good
I realy like it and its very fun to play (i keep messing with it on settings)
Amazing
This is an amazing lunar simulator for us Kerbal folks! I would like some more fancy calculations, but for a 2-D orbiter, I have what I need. Excellent work guys.
Nice
Great way to get a feel for vector flight.
Nice cerebral workout
Ok...this isn't an action thriller...but it is a great piece of entertainment to develop patience. Very simple...which is part of the attraction. I really like it...although once you've gone up and come down, it is kind of over.
If a new version came out...it would benefit from additional orbit targets (higher or spaced out), some apogee-perigee tracks to achieve, maybe a geo-synchronous altitude to meet...although that would require a rotating planet.
Nice 'old school' classy game. Thank you.

Very realistic simulator
Fun
Love this game!
Great game, love playing this over and over. Could use a base for landing and refueling.
Fun and educational
Interesting simulation demonstrating the physics of lunar launch, docking and landing. The only thing missing is a place to land and refuel(why I gave it 4 out of 5)...
Interesting!
Very unique app! With a tutorial, I would give this 5 STARS!! How about a Flight Manual?
Neat little sim
I managed to dock with the station on my second try. Soft dock at .228 m/s with 760kg fuel remaining. I clearly fly orbiter way too much =)
Great and challenging
Awesome! Accurate! All the trans-orbital maneuvers, getting into low orbit, Hohmann transfer, docking, undocking, landing. Lot's of fun for a space exploration buff like me!
My only gripe is: it is kind of hard to figure out unless you are a subject matter expert. This app really needs a good step-by-step tutorial.
Overall, really cool app. Thank you!

Simply awesome
The most fun Lunar Lander ever.... Docking, approach, landing! Orbits! Just awesome.
This is king of "fly by the numbers" simming... Matching the orbits for docking was intense! I only wish we could zoom in a little more for that.... And for landing, would be nice to see some "surface texture" or some other moon surface clue to "see" horizontal speed. Really makes you appreciate what they accomplished with Apollo!
