The Most Fun While Learning!

I had so much fun building a solar system with my daughter in our living room! I was better able to help her understand the planets at scale when we could pinch, zoom and resize each planet together. Then we walked around our planets and took a tour of the solar system. The interface is simple enough for a child to to use and understand. The app improves with updates all the time, so look out for that too. So fun on a rainy day at home!
