great app :)

7 years later still a great app!!!!!

Fun, flat, little toy.

It plays for sure and it's very nicely designed so children can quickly get the hang of it.

I just can't see long playtime's on this with some slight clunky feeling here and there.

Either that, or there's not enough "fun" feedback when placing something down.

Certainly could use more polish but this is a free app so I'm not bothered.

Spent a good 10 minutes on my planet but it's proving difficult to upload now so I'll do it later or just move on in life.

Thank you devs for making this :)

No sound?

Sound on all other apps work and I can’t seem to find any other setting that would change the sound for this one, so it appears to have a bug for atleast 14.1 iOS on an iPad Pro? Unfortunate, looks like a dun and relaxing app.

Response from developer

Hi! A new update is live that enables sound when you mash the volume buttons. Previously you needed to turn off silent mode to hear anything, so hopefully this fixes the issue for you.

It was free… but don’t bother.

I wouldn’t have “bought” this normally… but it was free so I thought “what the heck, it’s free”.
It has a toy like interface which might be interesting to encourage kids.
However, one thing makes it unusable… and deleted with one star.
When you move the sphere around to select dots, the sphere has a momentum and keeps spinning.
This means that when you try to select the dots, they move away from your line of sight unless you judge the spinning movement exactly.
It’s immensely annoying and unnecessary.
So, sadly, although it’s free and had a good idea… don’t bother unless you want to waste your time and want to be frustrated.
