### 2/5 — :-(

*2012-09-24*

I normally would rate this as a 5 star app but I recently upgraded my ipod to ios6 and now I can't even navigate the home screen. There are black spaces that should be filled in. Please fix this then it will be 5 star again!

I downloaded HIAD tonight and the screens will not function. I am running iOS6. Please fix this  because I am interested in trying the app out.

### 1/5 — Not working :(

Doesn't work on iPad 2 with IOS 6. Problem showing graphics. 

Huge supporter of NASA... Please get it fixed :)

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2012-09-22*

Opening screen has blank rectangles where navigation menus are supposed to be.  Tapping them takes you to multiple screens that have no words and are similarly incomprehensible.

### 5/5 — Go HIAD!

*2012-07-09*

What a great way to learn about this new technology!

### 5/5 — Fun and challenging

*2012-07-09*

Fun game, and challenging to get 3 stars on everything!

### 4/5 — IOS6 and better resolution

*2013-03-01*

-iPhone/iPod Touch 5 screen size
-better resolution
-working control that you don't need to tap 10 time to get it

### 4/5 — Good, but lean on info

*2012-10-29*

The HIAD app is good at teaching how the system is expected to operate, as well as the challenges expected in even a "routine" operation. The downside, though, is that the app doesn't offer even basic information about the actual system, a rarity for NASA apps. No plan views, details on planned capabilities or mission profiles, not even an artist's rendering -- and I refuse to characterize the cartoon graphics as "rendering." (I am using iOS 5, so if you're using OS6, sorry.) Overall, though, I can easily give it four stars; it has a smooth learning curve and provides a quasi-realistic simulation of the system.

### 3/5 — Addicting but a pain.

*2013-11-16*

Overly and underly sensitive controls with Atari graphics, what's not to love.  If NASA is headhunting for a job, I'm in.  As a game, it's lame at best.

### 2/5 — Looks cool but doesn't work

*2014-12-05*

As far as I can tell it doesn't work on iPhone 6 plus, or iPhone 6.
