User reviews

Love it, so handy!

Great app to get a sense the alignment of the planets. I would have given it a 5 if our moon was included. Maybe a feature enhancement one day? 🙏

As it states

I would love to see a widget version of this app that i could interact with on my home screen. I k ow someone left a review saying you can’t tilt the solar system but you actually can, it’s kind of hard to navigate with the zoom aspect and everything but you should be able to. You can zoom in and out. Perf, thanks

Great to see things I seem to feel is out there

Love it!

Simple but sublime!

Simple is the operative word.

Accurate in the description as a simple app. More like a demonstration app let alone being a paid app.

Some improvements.
1. Allow continuous movement of planets instead of selecting dates.
2. View of positions of the planets relative to earth.
3. Listing of transits, conjuctions etc of planets.

I look forward to further improvements. But not a bad start.
