Really nice but
You should try and let us use more planets
A Great app!
I love alll the different features you can do to change the orbit and it has all of the cool mathematical terms for you to learn about.
The things I would really add to it would be: (In no specific order):
A money earning option.
A build you satellite option.
Thanks!

Loved It
Smart little App if you know what you are doing with it. I've found quite useful as a simulation tool.
Things I would add to it:
1 - ability to key-in parameters to study real orbits.
2 - multiple satellites to visualise how orbital constellations work together.
If there were two satellites - could visualise the likes of Soyuz or Dragon heading for the ISS.
=====================
Second review (2014 April) after using the App for some time..... It's ideal for standing in front of a class/group when explaining how orbits work.
Movies can be created using software that grabs the iPad screen and they can, in turn, be embedded in PowerPoint.
All in all, a useful tool that retains my original 5* rating.

Bad
A bad app, no real point, and not informative.

Observing the sat's tracking path across the globe's surface is THE cool feature...fascinating. This feature would be even better if the orbital tracing were increased beyond 3. Perhaps 5? GREAT free app!
