Needs imagery update
I like this app. It’s really nice, the layout is wonderful, it’s easy to use. I was so excited when I finally saw an update for this app. However, none of the imagery was updated. Pluto is still pre-New Horizon’s picture. We have so many beautiful images of Jupiter now with the Juno spacecraft as well as many other bodies in our solar system. For the price, this app should be updated regularly to keep up with the information. Wanted to use it for teaching but unfortunately I can get better images off the web. Would give it five stars if there is a major imagery update.

Disappointing imagery
However great the data in this app the imagery is so 10 years ago. Poorly spent money.
Amazing but where’s Eris and makemake
Cool but where’s eris and makemake I guess there in Oort Cloud
Needs major update!!
I’ve had this app since it came out and they are horrible!! For updating data. Better apps for wayyy cheaper. Look at Pluto!!
Solar system
Earth is spinning in the wrong direction - it’s turning to the west when it should be turning towards the east.
Nice, but needs an update
For the price, this app really needs new content. I would expect information and imagery from New Horizons, Rosetta, Dawn, and possibly Juno. The lack of new content at a $10 price point makes me feel ripped off.
That said, I found the layout great. With more up to date content, this would be an easy 5 stars.

Needs An Update
I like this app, but it’s in severe need of an update.
Freezes constantly
So this freezes constantly, and I mean constantly. It doesn't run for more than visualizing one or two planets. I have deleted and reloaded it multiple times without a fix. When it does work, it is completely silent, even the song. I assume they're supposed be some sound here. I'm not running it on old machine, this is an iPad Pro. As others have mentioned, there is been no new content added for probably 10 months (judging from the dull yellow/brown fuzzball they use as a model for Pluto). This wasn't exactly cheap as apps go, certainly not in the same league as Elements for quality. I would get my money back if I can figure out how.

Response from developer
Hi there. Thanks for your feedback, we're very sorry you're having problems with Solar System. There will be an update soon which should fix this issue for you. In the meantime if you would prefer a refund, unfortunately it is not possible for us to refund you directly as the app was purchased from the App Store. You should contact Apple at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933. Apologies for the inconvenience. The Touch Press team.
Amazing Solar System reference, But needs recent data
Allows you to view the bodies of our Solar System, with pages of text and images, with an incredible Solar System model in 3D that can be expanded, shrunk, sped up and slowed down.
Every bit as good as the author's reference on The Elements —
However, data in the App (recent images of Pluto come to mind) really need updating.

So, no more updates to content? - Way behind
I like the interface for walking students through research methods. It's cleaner / faster than a full up 3D interface on the iPad and a big screen.
But if you're not going to keep up with the rapidly changing local universe...

Buy Solar Walk 2 instead
I recently downloaded the Solar System app and I'm thoroughly disappointed to find it crashes as often as it does. Especially when I tap on the song, sometimes it plays, most often the app just freezes. On the rare occasion the app does play the song it then returns to the menu that's become totally unresponsive! I have to shut down the app every time with it. Not something anyone expects for a £10 app! (I'm using the app on the new 9.7" iPad Pro with the latest iOS installed)
Also, whilst this app does contain the key facts the presentation for that information is decidedly lacking; I find I still have to consult the far cheaper and better designed Solar Walk 2 app when this one should contain everything for the price!

Worthless
This app worked fine before the latest upgrade. Now it won't even open. The upgrade reaches about 20% then freezes permanently. Reinstalling the app won't work either.
Overall, a good buy.
This app is very informative and interactive. I got it for my kids but think I enjoy it more than they do. My only grievance is with Pluto. After all the hype and spectacular wonders we recently saw with the little planet that could, it is not reflected in this app. Please do an update for this and other items recently discovered.

Touchpress Support ignore you
I love Touchpress apps including this one but my view changed once I had a problem and contacted support - no response. I tried again - ignored again. It seems I am required to purchase an app again if I want to receive upgrades. Not good enough! I’ll think twice before purchasing Touchpress apps again.

Needs update
Pluto and Ceres updates needed. Info is rather limited in general. Visually pleasing though. If it wasn't on sale and I purchased... I'd be somewhat disappointed.
Typos
Nicely put together no doubt, but do we really have to put up with typos? If there are errors in the English it makes it that much harder to trust the accuracy of the information. Disappointing.
Five Stars Once Updated
Please update w/modern Ceres, Pluto, and Charon images...not to mention Pluto's other newly discovered moons (yes we know it's classified as a dwarf planet). Everything else is quite enjoyable. Thank you!
Great app... It crashes frequently throughout my experience.
Very good detail, enhanced graphics, I love it! But I can't work the kinks on the crashing problem.
