Very useful, but could use some adjustments.
• App crashes when I try to pull up “general” information.
• I would like to save my settings rather than having to turn on all of the features on launch every time.
• An option to set a particular perspective on launch would be very useful. For example,(1) open up to a specific continent each time, (2) open to my last viewed settings, or (3) clear to default view each launch.
• Could benefit from a landscape mode, since I’m usually using it in tandem with other apps, but this is less serious.
• I would love to be able to follow cities or major landmarks rather than just countries.
• Places like Iceland only arose 25-20 mya and would not have moved coordinates much since then, because it resulted from volcanoes over the mid-Atlantic ridge. Perhaps instead of following around an irrelevant land mass like Greenland, you could change the indicator and just have it be stationary until the first land arrives, then follow that around. It would at least be more accurate since I’m fairly sure Greenland had nothing to do with the formation of Iceland.

Thank you for your valuable suggestions, Kelly! We will endeavour to incorporate the useful features you suggested at the earliest. The Iceland plume actually erupted ~60 million years ago, beneath Greenland.
Finally understand Gondwana
Afyer 2 years enjoying this, I really enjoy it This is a very well done app. Not just for teachers and school kids. It is intuitive and allows you to view the earth ( rotating the globe) while simultaneously changing the epoch.
This should be more expensive. Buy it while it is still a bargain

Hi Magazinefan, Thank you for your kind review. Could you please elaborate on the glitch re: the name labels not lining up? Best regards
Good game
I got this because I really like learning about the earths tectonic plates, but I do suggest that the camera can rotate by holding two fingers and turning them to rotate the camera.
Earth In Motion
This is one of the best demonstrations of the dynamic history of the Earth. It is great for scholars from 4-104. Plate Tectonics is illustrated across the span of our planet’s lifetime to the present. Even young geologists who are just learning to read will be entranced by the dance of the plates. This app is well worth the investment.
