Oldie but Great

I’ve had this app for years. I’ll go a time without using it, but then I’ll open it again, and remember why I’ll never delete it. I’ve had this app way before I had kids, now my oldest is 8 and he loves looking at it. Please don’t give up on this masterpiece. It’s amazing!!!

Amazing App!!

I love this app please consider an update

Could you add more stars to zoom on and more galaxies and inside of them?

Could you please add that so I could zoom in and could you add the universe beyond?

Love this app. Apple fuk it up with all the IOS force upgrade

Great app and contents but stupid Apple keep force devellopers to upgrade their API and paid yearly licensing

Update: Video playback error after Mars

I bought this in 2014 when I was 12. It went through a period where video playback was broken, however it’s fixed now. It’s one of the most influential apps I’ve ever owned, and to my delight I’ve discovered it’s sister app: Wonders of the Earth. I look forward to an other 10 years with it.

UPDATE:
Beyond “Newtons Law of Cooling” the videos do not work. It’s taken me a few days to reach this point, and it’s about 20% of the way through the reel of articles. I hope this is fixed.
