This was my go-to Mars App for more than a decade. It will be sorely missed. You had a great run. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Not working *2019-08-31* It’s not working it was working but after the update it not working ### 4/5 — 火星探索 *2019-07-13* 哇哦，虽然即使翻了还是加载很慢，但是还是觉得很棒啊 ### 5/5 — Like *2019-06-29* This is First Time i See Mars from Other Perspective and this is Great ### 5/5 — Welcome to the Future,the Jetsons era has come🔭👍🛸 *2018-10-09, version 1.4* This app is...The Good Stuff you been lookin for😊💫✨ ### 5/5 — 我建议 *2018-08-30* 十分厉害，不过如果做一个土卫六或月球的可能会更受欢迎。我建议，以后你们做产品时，可以用unity做地形。如果做月球的话，最好将地球放大一点，这样能有效的让使用者感受到震撼，同时也能让改软件更有美感。如果做土卫六的话，建议将甲烷海洋上的波浪做的尽可能逼真，岩石的材质要有明显的光影效果，同时，对于空中的土星，要做到左边明显，右边隐隐约约。当然，最重要的是价格合理 下面是对软件封面的构图建议 月球： 此区是地球 此区是月球 —————————————————————————————— 土卫六： 此区是土卫六 此区是四分之一土星 —————————————————————————————— ### 5/5 — Mind blowing *2018-05-15, version 1.4* All that can be said is, amazing amazing amazing. Thank you developers for bringing this to the masses. It’s a smooth running app that allows anyone to walk On Mars, with a little help from Curiosity ;D Only suggestion would be a spot to view the panoramas that have been assembled by NASA. Love it! ### 5/5 — Hands down, the best way to view Mars surface features. Period. *2018-05-12* If you enjoy closely studying surface images of Mars this is by far the best tool I’ve used. It lists the images by both location and sol but also will lay the photos out in a mosaic for each site with 360* of pan. This makes it possible to follow terrain and rock structures instantly into the site’s adjacent images. In addition its easy to follow the rovers path through each successive location on screen. Moving forward or back is done by clicking on screen markers in the image. Easy peasy. This is my go to app for a walk on Mars. ### 4/5 — 很神奇 *2018-02-14* 基本需要翻墙才能看到 但是真的好神奇 感觉火星上有朋友给自己发照片 ### 4/5 — It's good. *2017-10-27, version 1.4* It's good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fix it! *2022-05-04, version 1.4* It’s loading so slow! ### 1/5 — Définition *2019-11-30* La définition est horrible ### 1/5 — Dead? *2019-08-02, version 1.4* This app was fantastic, but it started showing only a single picture for each site. It was showing only one picture even when I selected sites with hundreds of pictures. Once I fixed this by switching between different filters. That apparently kicked it back into working mode. But a few days later it stopped working again. Clearing cached data didn’t help. I also suggest the developers add something on the Sites page reminding the user of his chosen filter and its effect. There is lots of room on the Sites page under each site to add more information. ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2019-06-21* Not at all advertised, everything is black and white and images take ages to load but then they dissapear! ### 1/5 — A waste of device memory. *2019-02-11, version 1.4* Doesn’t recognize my data feed. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work on my phone, iPhone 6+ *2019-11-05, version 1.4* Doesn’t work on my phone. Only shows one image. ### 3/5 — Where has the developer gone? *2023-09-09* This is, er, was, the COOLEST app for viewing mars curiosity rover pictures! But it stopped updating about 1000 sols ago. PLEASE restore this to show the latest curiosity images! And add perseverance to it! ### 3/5 — Could be good *2016-05-29* I have a good broadband connection but this app will not download the images 90% of the time. Pity really because I would really enjoy looking at them. ### 4/5 — App Needs Updating *2025-03-05* Had not used the app in a while and was disappointed that Perseverance has been on Mars since 2021 and the app has not been updated with this rover. Great app with what it has but could have the new rover information. ### 4/5 — Lack of connectivity. *2019-11-04* It is at times hit or miss in trying to view images from Curiosity, Spirit and Opportunity I have no trouble viewing, is there a problem with the app in relation to Curiosity? Otherwise it’s a great app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2025-12-01, version 1.4* This app makes it incredibly easy to view everywhere not 1 but 3 mars rovers went and a 360 view of what their cameras see wherever they go. ### 5/5 — Virtual recall *2025-01-17* Like being there or as close as you can come until Google street view gets there ### 5/5 — Обновите *2024-08-24* Я хочу что бы вы обновили, вы уже 9 лет не обновляете ### 5/5 — Sehr zu Empfehlen *2022-12-20* Das ist eine sehr gut gemachte App. Mit ein bisschen probieren kommt man auch relativ schnell damit zurecht. ### 5/5 — Midnight planets beauty *2021-12-26* Midnight planets is extremely beautiful and informative. Can do some close up visual geological surveys of the loads of hi-res images stitched together mosaic style from location to location. ### 5/5 — Very cool. *2021-11-14* How more cool could it be than to view another planet close up? ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-10-17, version 1.4* Amazing ### 5/5 — Genial *2021-02-04* Super schöne und interessante Bilder Funktioniert super einfach und macht echt Spaß einfach herum zu „fahren“ ### 5/5 — Killer app *2020-07-07* If you have a curiosity about Mars, this is the app. With a little practice, very easy to navigate. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2020-06-08* The panoramic view of mars and stitching of images is amazing! You get a beautiful immersive view of Mars. Navigating through the path is so cool it's just like Google Maps!
