## What is Rocket Simulator?

Rocket Simulator allows you to launch a rocket into space and view various objects currently in Earth orbit. Currently you have the option of launching 4 rocket models and visit 6 objects in space, such as the Hubble Telescope, International Space Station and Kepler.

I originally wrote this game for my 19 month old son to teach him about rockets & space flight.  He was easily able to learn how to launch a rocket and control the camera within a few minutes. Although the controls are extremely simple even for a kid, adults that like rockets & space explorations will find plenty of enjoyment in this simple yet fun space simulator.

### 3/5 — Good time

*2022-09-29*

I played it when I was younger and I can’t quite remember it all I now is I had a good time

### 2/5 — Why

*2019-08-19*

This game is a tiny bit cool but is buggy and isn’t even compatible on later iOS versions anymore

### 5/5 — Please update

*2019-07-29*

I remember all the nostalgia from when I played this when I was three. Let’s just say it was my favorite app, and I want to play it again. I beg you with all my might please can you adapt this for iOS 11 (which is what my iPad said) 

[and here’s a bit of backstory to help you understand when I was three I got a large black iPad I played many MANY happy games
Fast forward some years when I was eight I got a new iPad 
Now it’s 2019 and all I want is some nostalgia]

### 1/5 — Ide

*2018-12-29*

Stupid

### 4/5 — To all those who say it’s bad

*2018-12-17*

It’s not a game, it’s a sim. Like a video. You don’t control or play. It shows you what a rocket launch is.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2018-08-16, version 1.6*

There r so many other rocket games that r better than this game for example Kerbal space program and space flight simulator

### 4/5 — Give it a break!

*2018-07-05*

Just notice that this is impressive for a single person to accomplish. Just chill out with the angry comments!

### 2/5 — Not a very good game......

*2017-10-20*

As soon as I got on the game it said update required so then I knew the game wasn't the best and there are only three rockets so after launching the rockets three was nothing to do.

### 1/5 — Отстой

*2017-09-29, version 1.6*

Не игра, а ужас!!!

### 3/5 — It's ok...

*2017-09-16*

Well, let me start by saying I am crazy about spaceships, an I love this game. But then when I first opened the app, it said; "THIS GAME HAS EXPIRED. PLEASE UPGRADE." So when I saw the app for the second time, I saw exactly what it meant. So then I say; "Why is it not being upgraded?" I opened and closed the app over and over again. I'd close the app Completely, but that did nothing. So I turned my device completely off, but that also did nothing. And this game needs more detail. I would appreciate it if you added more controls and more planets that you can turn to and land on. I also would like if you added an ejection button and rovers so that you can explore a new planet. But that's not the point of this. But for some reason the polo 18 charged me $5.99. What?😕 But still this is an ok... game.
