Needs more content

I was looking forward to playing this game because it looked fun. I was disappointed to learn that it doesn’t work without paying. At least put some content to use without paying. This could have been a great game.

Great way to view planets in AR

Out of this world!

Fun and charming

This app was fun and educational and made me smile. Seeing those planets whizzing around in the office was a real joy to behold - would definitely recommend

Great App

Came across this app by chance and I’m glad I have. As a science teacher I sometimes find it tough to keep the kids concentration. I will be using this app in the classroom. Plenty of planetary facts and a very fun way of delivering them. Thank you!
