## What is Jupiter Simulator?

Jupiter Simulator is an astronomy app that shows the location of the four largest Jupiter moons, and the Great Red Spot.
All positions can be shown in real time, or in faster animation. You can set the clock to other times in the future or past.

You can navigate in three dimensions, and zoom in and out. The orbits of the moons can be made visible. You can also predict the next time the great red spot will be visible, and also, search for shadow transits on the planet's disc for each satellite!

### 1/5 — 🤭

*2025-08-18*

That open only title screen, and then it shut down

### 2/5 — Really nice but forgotten Idea-not launching

*2024-11-07*

For amateur astronomy & planet watchers, this is a handy app, worth a reasonable 1 time fee or donation.  I used to have a Java script one years ago on laptop, also had Android versions each for Jupiter & Saturn.  If this is revisited and fixed, will 5 ⭐️

### 1/5 — Apparently unsupported.

*2022-10-12*

When I first added this app it was named JoveMoons. It worked satisfactorily. Last time I started it it was completely inaccurate, it shows a banner that Jupiter is below the horizon when in fact it is clearly visible in the sky in my time zone.

### 3/5 — Fun but not to fun

*2022-02-27*

There is not much stuff

### 4/5 — Jupiter

*2021-07-05*

The.  App.  Works

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-05-14*

App crashes every time at launch

### 1/5 — Won't launch

*2018-06-18*

Every time I load up the app it crashes, I can't load or do anything, please try to fix
