Thanks for this amazing app and hopefully it will educate more people every day! ### 5/5 — Everything works on my iPod Touch 5G *2013-07-15, version 1.0* I just downloaded the app and everything works. I have an iPod Touch 5G with the current software: iOS 6.1.3 ### 5/5 — Cool *2012-12-09, version 1.0* I phone 4s with i6.0 update this app works great and is really cool ### 5/5 — Works great for me. *2012-10-01, version 1.0* I'm currently using an iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0 and all the features if this app work for me. I hope that info helps someone who's having difficulties. I've been trying to keep up with curiosity but the NASA website is difficult to find what I'm usually looking for. ### 5/5 — Great App JPL & NASA *2012-08-08, version 1.0* Love the app ladies and gents. Great job! Occasionally the new images don't load successfully. But the app's convenience, commentary and portability make it a great tool to follow Curiosity and all of the "Mohawk"-sporting personnel at JPL and NASA anywhere and anytime. Can't wait for all the science and images to come. ### 5/5 — Works Great!!! *2012-08-08, version 1.0* It looks good to me. I love all the latest news and the images. You guys did a fabulous job!!! ### 5/5 — Best app ever ... from Mars *2012-08-08, version 1.0* This is a great app, with the latest images from Mars. I love it, it works well. ### 5/5 — HIGHLY RECOMMENDED *2012-08-07, version 1.0* If you want to follow Curiosity easily -- since NASA's website is an unnavigable mess -- I highly suggest you get this app and use it, instead. Exactly want you want in just 3 easy buttons: NEWS/IMAGERY/QUESTIONS [Fielded By An AI That Calls Itself "Dr. Steve" lol] So follow the Mars Science Laboratory mission quickly & simply and get this app! AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CURIOSITY TEAM ON A SUCCESSFUL LANDING!! ### 5/5 — Love it *2012-07-29, version 1.0* GREAT APP Lots of stuff to do and explore plus it free!!! This is a great way to educate the public and I really hope it is successful. Both this app and curiosity!! The only con I have with this app is there is not very much technical info involving the mission. I am a geek for all things about space and therefore I know a little more about this stuff than someone who has never studied or followed along this kind of info. I don't mean to toot my own horn here I am just saying that some of the info I seen I have already read about before. But as stated in the first paragraph, thing is great!! I super highly recommend it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn't work any more *2015-08-21, version 2.0* This app used to be great for looking at the raw images from Curiosity Rover, but with the latest IOS release it no longer works. ### 1/5 — Are you kidding? *2012-08-20, version 1.0* I find it odd that these guys can drop a big rover on a planet that far away, yet they can't code an iPhone app. While everything else works, it's main attraction - latest images - doesn't. Fail. ### 1/5 — Can't see any images *2012-08-07, version 1.0* Was looking forward to see latest images but when I choose that it just presents a spinning "loading" animation Waited 20 minutes & gave up. I'll try later but if it doesn't work I will delete this app. Please fix this! ### 1/5 — Latest images feature locked up? *2012-08-07, version 1.0* Seemed like a good idea, but the "latest images" feature isn't working. It just sits and spins. ### 1/5 — Ok for past information - not real time *2012-08-03, version 1.0* I'm uninstalling this app. It is fine for older information but if you want real time information you need Flash support. So much for an "iPad" app. Does NASA or Apple know Flash is not supported on iOS? ### 2/5 — Problems with Videos *2012-09-08, version 1.0* Still images and text are displayed. Videos and animations never load. ### 3/5 — Glitchy with smart board *2016-10-05, version 2.0.1* As a museum educator, I really love that many of the things I use to teach my 10 series on Mars are now in one place. However, I need to be able to hook my iPad up to the smart board to mirror so that all the students can see the app at once. When I make this connection the app becomes very sluggish and often freezes. ### 3/5 — Bah humbug *2013-09-29, version 1.0* Bah humbug ### 3/5 — Worked great, then..... *2012-08-20, version 1.0* I can't seem to download imgaes since a couple of days ago. And the latest news seems to be several days old. Please fix these issues! To make matters worse, the NASA Be a Martian support site doesn't work either. I can't get past the Captcha. ### 3/5 — Doesn't work well *2012-08-08, version 1.0* Great to have, but the images don't work. They just sit there saying loading. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Extremely Helpful *2015-02-11, version 2.0* I'm a very interested in space and love the NASA Mars projects such as the Phenix probe, Spirit and Opportunity twin rovers and Curiosity rover. This was very informational about them. If you are interested in anything about Mars get this app. ### 5/5 — Sweet! *2013-12-18, version 2.0* Really slick app for keeping up with Curiosity and other Mars related happenings! Raw photos are awesome. ### 5/5 — Great Space App *2013-11-30, version 2.0* Kudos this app is so fun, there is so much you can learn ### 5/5 — Pretty cool *2013-11-30, version 2.0* I learned a lot from this app. It's pretty cool to learn about mars! =) ### 5/5 — Nice app *2013-11-30, version 2.0* Stumbled upon this awesome app about space, thanks for helping me explore space in the palm of my hand.
