This is not worth a dime. I’d try to get a refund, but it’s not worth my time ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2025-11-13, version 1.8* I hate this game I downloaded this game every time I got a new device and STILL EVERY TIME I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS GAME WHY IS IT SO HARD TO CREATE A HABITABLE PLANET DUDISNSNSJXJSJSJSJSJSJS AND IT IS SO HARD TO CREATE FAR ORBITS IN THE GAME. ALSO WHY IS THE MOON SO BIG COMPARED TO THE EARTH THAT IS WRONGFGGGGGGGGGGG AHSHSJSJS. DONT NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE DISAPPOINTED. Also YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO GNARLY BY KATSEYE RIGHT NOW ### 1/5 — Bad app, do not buy. *2025-08-28, version 1.8* The amount of bugs and glitches in this game is absurd. For example, sometimes even when i was far far away from a star, the planet would still burn. Also, sometimes the opposite would happen. Even if i pit the planets right next to the star, sometimes they would freeze for some reason. Would not recommend app. ### 1/5 — ℂ𝕠𝕠𝕝! 𝓐𝔀𝓼𝓸𝓶𝓮! ɪsɴ'ᴛ ɪᴛ? ✌🤘 *2024-03-20, version 1.8* I love how this works! It’s amazing! Love it but is there secrets? But what if they suddenly insert nebulas? ### 1/5 — fix *2024-01-11, version 1.8* need fixing ### 1/5 — Help *2023-07-27, version 1.8* I am just about to drop a fat nuke…… did not help ### 1/5 — Game is completely ruined *2023-06-29* Over time I’ve noticed the game started getting new bugs and glitches but now it is just unplayable, the gravity is broken and saves are destroyed, if you save your progress and re-load it will re-load a completely broken version of your solar system, don’t buy this ### 1/5 — Needs an update *2022-08-15, version 1.8* The concept of the app is great but I suspect it hasn’t been updated in a while. It isn’t very user friendly at all. I wanted to use this app to help me with worldbuilding, but it really doesn’t work for that at all. ### 1/5 — Pouca visão *2022-08-13* Eu esperava mais espaco, so da pra gazer esperiencias em pouch espaço melhorem por favor , pelo memos Esperiencias com 25 porcento da via lactea ja seria rasoavel por ease preço ### 1/5 — Sehr gut aber die Platzierungen *2018-05-29* Eigentlich hat mich die Simulation voll überzeugt jedoch ist es sehr schwierig die Planeten gleichzeitig so zu positionieren wie in den Beispielen. Mir fehlt es einfach an Platzierungstools wie zum Beispiel die Planeten an einem Radius auszurichten. Auch könnte an den Pfeilen noch ein wenig gearbeitet werden da die Planeten nicht dauerhaft in die gleiche Richtung laufen. So wäre es eine super Simulation aber so macht es keinen Spaß. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice game *2026-08-15, version 1.8.1* Nice game ### 5/5 — It’s a good app *2026-08-15, version 1.8.1* Really nice for simulating diffrent collisions and other stuff! Recommended ### 5/5 — very fun *2026-08-13, version 1.8.1* i like the game, played it since i was 8. ### 5/5 — Top *2026-08-12* Incrível ### 5/5 — My favorite game *2026-08-11, version 1.8.1* I love this game ### 5/5 — The Closest Thing to Universe Sandbox On Mobile [Currently] *2026-08-09, version 1.8.1* I’ve been playing his game for like 3-6 years.. and for those 3-6 years this is one of the best mobile games I ever played. I like where you can unlock different planets By doing a specific task. Being able to collide stars and planets is satisfying. And the game is overall just fun. Especially if you have nothing to do If you’re on something like a roadtrip or something since this game Doesn’t require internet. It’s a amazing game that nearly anyone can enjoy. ### 5/5 — I like this it’s just like solar smash *2026-08-09, version 1.8.1* It’s super fun and the ways to make it better is no ads, life designs rockets on its own, and more achievements, ### 5/5 — The best Galaxy sandbox *2026-08-02, version 1.8* Its the best of the Galaxy sandboxes but it costed money but it worth it Im not joking ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-28, version 1.8* Super great ### 5/5 — The app is so amazing *2026-07-28, version 1.8* I love this game so much. It’s cool has graphics but the developers hasn’t updated in probably like four or three years. It’s very good you must try very good and I literally mean it’s like a mini universe sandbox but maybe try updating it more and then I’ll play it a little more. This game hasn’t been updated in like five years. needs improvement but still amazing… --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
