### 4/5 — The Review

*2025-08-06, version 1.6.16*

I do like the game, but I think it should be a little easier to use because I have never been able to go past atmosphere. The reason I bought the game is because there is another app similar to it but it won’t let you go past or atmosphere, so I was hoping to be able to fly to other Planets And I do find the tutorials helpful, but where I am visually impaired I am a auditory learner so I have had to bother my mother to get her to help me with the learning part of it. I do wish the app had a narrator to read for you so I would give it a 10 out of 10 with those exceptions but no less than an eight out of 10.

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect!

*2021-03-24, version 1.6.16*

The game is so nice. I’m learning a lot from this app. But you cannot put wings on your rockets. That’s it.

### 1/5 — Exploits parents

*2020-08-13, version 1.6.16*

In a deeply cynical attempt to get more $$$ the authors marked this as suitable for 4 year olds. Guess what, geniuses, four year olds can’t read nor do they have the patience for your cheap thoughtless confusing piss poor interface (and just using that word is generous). 

Congrats on stealing my money and wasting time I could have spent with my kid, jerks!

### 1/5 — Refund

*2019-11-01, version 1.6.16*

Not what I was expecting

### 1/5 — One of the worst video games ever

*2019-07-14, version 1.6.16*

This video game is shameless and is a rip off of space agency docking is A nightmare and so is going to a planet or moon so this video game is garbage so don’t buy it don’t waste your money like I did play space agency or space flight simulator instead those are much better games than this stupid garbage

### 1/5 — Smuto

*2019-06-09, version 1.6.16*

I like the game SimpleRockets. The smolar system has smearth’s moon,the gas giant moons,smalleys comet. But it’s missing one thing. A Pluto. You can call it smuto. Here’s the info
Mass 0.2 smearths
Radius 132 km
Atmosphere um you can do the atmosphere info
Distance 39 smau
If there’s stuff I’m missing. Do that.

### 1/5 — Fun game but a HUGE flaw

*2019-03-16, version 1.6.16*

There is a control thing where you can drag an arrow around a circle to point your ship in that direction but it is majorly flawed. The engines turn the ship in that direction but don’t stop pushing until it is already past he arrow. If you know anything about space, it’s going to take a long time to point the ship in the right direction. This destroys th whole game and plus that the manual arrows can’t be pressed so your screwed. Fix this problem please

### 1/5 — Desperately needs an update

*2019-01-22, version 1.6.16*

Game doesn’t work properly anymore, can’t turn left or right, it’s lagged, I press it and it works like 40 seconds later, everything’s breaking, and it’s sad to see this game being so ignored, it needs a bug fix badly

### 1/5 — No good on ipad

*2019-01-13, version 1.6.16*

Willnot rotate to allow play in lndscape format- wasted my $3

### 1/5 — Injouable depuis la nouvelle maj

*2018-05-30*

Impossible de lancer une mission

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2018-03-26, version 1.6.10*

Save your builds every time you add something, sandbox will cause the app to crash and you’ll lose everything

### 1/5 — Fyyyyyy👎👎👎👎

*2025-09-21*

### 5/5 — Nothing short of great

*2023-02-23, version 1.6.16*

Redownloading now for nostalgia. Not sure if the devs will see this but what an awesome game. Started my love for space and math and physics as an adolescent. Great 2d precursor to simple rockets 2. Hard to think it’s a decade old. Still just as fun to pass time

### 5/5 — nice

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-07-03, version 1.6.16*
