### 2/5 — BRO PLEASE

*2026-08-05*

I hate the new UI simply because it's basically impossible to navigate. The old UI was simple but effective; you could get to other creations easily. The new one, however, is EXTREMELY CONFUSING. You can't even select what creation you want to go to! Also when you play like the main levels or whatever, if you're already above level 8, you can't go back down because it just throws you straight into the public creations.
Besides, I can't even spawn stuff when the simulation is paused. This is so annoying, man. PLEASE, revert it or at least make the new UI easier to navigate and remove the simulation paused = no more planets thingamajiggy.
Also, WHY DOES IT COPY YOUR CLIPBOARD?!?! When someone enters the app with something in their clipboard, you get a notification saying that the game has copied your clipboard. WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!?! This is spyware!!

### 2/5 — Yeah I’m pretty sure he bought a bunch of ratings

*2026-07-20, version 3.0.1*

### 1/5 — Why did u make the pro😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

*2026-08-16, version 3.0.1*

I need to get the pro to create a new world, but I can’t get it! I hate it! Plez Plez Plez Get rid of that hateful, useless, unnecessary, uneducated, and unhelpful “pro”! I will delete this game AGAIN if u don’t get rid of that “pro”! 🥺 0 stars if I could. And I tried to get the sandbox, but I can’t.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-07-04, version 3.0.1*

This game sucks more than u

### 1/5 — What happened??!

*2026-06-04, version 3.0.1*

This was a super fun app, but the latest update made it impossible for me to choose my favorite user crafted maps. They’re apparently random now? This is so sad. 

And some of the user maps don’t work anymore. The gravity settings have changed. Super disappointed this app has essentially become a completely different app.

### 1/5 — Beg less

*2026-05-22, version 3.0.0*

It is seriously annoying.

### 1/5 — 1 star

*2025-04-16, version 2.3.1*

Why do I need money to make my own scammers

### 1/5 — forced portrait mode doesn’t work on mounted ipad

*2025-03-26, version 2.3.1*

it isn’t that hard to support landscape

### 1/5 — This game scammed me

*2025-03-05, version 2.2.4*

I bought a purchased and it stole money from me so don’t buy anything from this game it would’ve been five star it is actually worked .

### 1/5 — Be ware of your data

*2023-01-19, version 2.2.4*

This app constantly wants to read my copy and paste clipboard. Fortunately Apple alerts me about it. Not sure why would a puzzle game want my clipboard data, but I’m just going to uninstall and report it.

### 1/5 — 😡

*2021-09-28, version 2.2.4*

不會玩啦

### 1/5 — No!

*2021-02-21, version 2.2.4*

Do not make us pay for the sandbox, I will pay ONLY for adds, if I can.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2026-08-11, version 3.0.1*

This game is really fun

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2026-08-09, version 3.0.1*

The physics are cool to figure out but the understanding of some of the smaller mechanics might be good to intro before a level, but a solid time passer that is challenging

### 5/5 — Such a game 🥰🤩🤯👌🦋🪼🌻

*2026-07-25, version 3.0.1*

WOW!!

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2026-07-12, version 3.0.1*

.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-07-08, version 3.0.1*

Good for  concentration after getting several planets up in Orbit. 
Nice find at my age over 60.

### 5/5 — Super fun for the physically inclined :)

*2026-07-07, version 3.0.1*

For the other physicists out there,

This is a good one for flights! It’s basically a really well-made physically-accurate orbital mechanics simulator. Stable orbits get you to a next level. All your physical intuition carries over + there are fun unphysical gravitational potentials to make the orbits more challenging and unlike things we commonly see. Super fun!!!

### 5/5 — W

*2026-07-02, version 3.0.1*

W game

### 5/5 — Best gravity sandbox!
