### 3/5 — Good game, but…

*2026-08-22, version 0.394*

Look, good game, I like the physics and all, I just have one problem, when I open the game, it crashes, I haven't had this problem before, FYI, I have 70 gigs of free storage, so it's not storage, I've deleted and reinstalled it already, nothing else is open, is there a fix to this?

### 4/5 — Why is this?

*2026-08-21, version 0.394*

So in solar system simulator they called ceres an asteroid but Sedna a dwarf planet even though ceres is a dwarf planet and Sedna is a candidate so they need to fix that and how when you spawn an asteroid in a custom system it’s alway got life and all the planets they let you spawn are Rockies so why not add a gas giant button

### 3/5 — Issue…

*2026-08-20, version 0.394*

Sometimes all the stars orbit the Sun, each with a much lower mass and temperature, and make the solar system a really chaotic place, especially with the earth collision event… also, when planets crack or explode, the resulting core cannot be adjusted in terms of orbit or anything, it should be!

### 4/5 — Fun, too much ads though.

*2026-08-17, version 0.394*

This game is actually fun! Whenever I’m bored, I just go on this app and mess around. A problem I have is that every 3-5 minutes or so an ad pops up. It’s annoying, so by any chance are you able to reduce the ads? Overall, this game cures my boredom

### 4/5 — Eh

*2026-08-14, version 0.394*

I gave it four stars bc there isn’t much options gas giant collisions are like rocky collisions and there’s not even a gas giant option so yeah and you can’t like draw your own continents

### 3/5 — CONSTANT crashes

*2026-08-14, version 0.390*

everytime i collide 2 planets or objects the game ALWAYS crashes and i have to reopen the app, it’s also constantly crashing when i try loading my saved solar systems, it’s not a one off issue, it’s CONSTANT and happens every single time, please can you fix this? this is my second review about the same issue

### 4/5 — W

*2026-08-13, version 0.390*

just add a little more stuff that is close to space engine stuff

### 4/5 — Игра классная но есть баг

*2026-08-12*

Когда я сделал маленькую систему, планете добавляю спутник, запускаю и звезда крутится вокруг планеты, а спутник улетает куда то исправьте пожалуйста

### 4/5 — Hi, I love it (NO ADS INCLUDED)! But I Have Just 5 Mistakes “that you made” to tell you:

*2026-08-11, version 0.390*

1. Why can’t I get to 128-2048x? 
2. Why do you have to name these objects (Black Hole#, Neutron Star#, White Dwarf Star#, Planet#, Moon#, Red Dwarf Star#, Star#, Comet#, Asteroid#, Blue-white Giant#, Red Giant#, & Red Supergiant#)? 
3. Why do you have to make the planets change to the “Lava” world when they enter a supernova? 
4. Why is there a bug that causes the 3d tsunamis? 
5. Why did you change the maximum distance (from the object) to 1M (M = Million) light years? You should’ve increased it to 1B (B = Billion)!

 So, Please respond, I’m trying to be honest. And please help me out with those mistakes that I encountered. Thank you! 
Love, Lucas Paap

### 5/5 — Oceans can flood land

*2026-08-10, version 0.390*

The new update is perfect but please when a planet collides with something please make the oceans flood lan close to the impact zone

### 5/5 — My current opinion and possible improvements

*2026-08-10, version 0.390*

Thank you for for taking some of my previous ideas into account and further improvements such as a “dwarf planet” category for celestial body placing and more types of stars like “Orange dwarf” or “red hypergiant” to the stars and more planet skins like a water world skin that’s all I have on this one

### 3/5 — Save file corruptions

*2026-08-09, version 0.390*

Saves in the new update corrupt very easy, and spike in probability if there’s more than 1 star…

### 5/5 — This game is great but

*2026-08-09, version 0.390*

I was skeptical about the game at first but now it’s amazing but can you add natural disasters after impact like earthquakes or fast winds and and add smoke to planets without any atmosphere when a and object hits and add the humans or creatures but a super amazing game

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-08-08, version 0.390*

I have a suggestion for asteroids like if they enter the atmosphere they should start glowing to make it more realistic, it would also make cooler when your on the ground. One more suggestion is that if a planet, asteroid, comet etc, hit a planet it should a a flash of flight for a second if your close enough obviously. Also make it that you can turn them off or on in settings. Anyways these would be amazing features in my opinion and I would love them to be added one day!

### 5/5 — Such a good app!

*2026-08-06, version 0.390*

This app is like it’s easy to understand why  Roche limits break apart moons

### 5/5 — Insanely cool

*2026-08-06, version 0.390*

Don’t make the mistake of making a planet galaxy object or literally everything big or it could crash your game

### 5/5 — Great but…

*2026-08-06, version 0.390*

this update made my planets more realistic & better than before but there’s a problem 1. Some objects don’t save textures or height maps 2. Sometimes the atmosphere doesn’t show up and is just invisible & hard to see 3.after update a bug comes & another update a new bug comes! I hope you fix these bugs so this game can be much better (also not to mention Venus having city lights & oceans not aligning)

### 5/5 — Awesome game just can you please make the hurricane actually function

*2026-08-04, version 0.390*

Awesome games can you please make the hurricane action function, though like the tsunami now please make the hurricane actually function instead of just making it sit there like a prop so can you actually add adjustable disasters to planets?

### 1/5 — It has been four days since I can change the temperature. It is not showing that.

*2026-08-18, version 0.394*

Every time I join I click on earth and I collect the free lines and there’s not show temperatures

### 1/5 — Too bad

*2026-08-15, version 0.394*

Crashes

### 1/5 — Literally unplayable

*2026-07-28, version 0.381*

Not sure why this app has such high reviews. Paid for the pro version and it’s absolutely unplayable. Crashes 80% of the time 10 mins in, and the save state doesn’t even work. I spent ages building a solar system , saved the world, then when i reload nothings there. It does this every time. iPhone 17 Pro Max - don’t even bother.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-12, version 0.374*

It was good the first day I got it but after that it was really bad bad bad bad 🤬🤬🤬

### 1/5 — Virus

*2026-05-17, version 0.365*

It gave me a stupid virus

### 1/5 — 🧃

*2026-05-10, version 0.365*

This game is genuinely unplayable, I get an ad every time I click on anything at all.

### 1/5 — Ads are literally unbearable

*2026-04-24, version 0.365*

Every button I click an ad pop up. Please reduce this.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-04-09, version 0.365*

1 star because always it has ads and 1 opens every 1 second.Also because it’s laggy and hangs forever.Also no sound and every button didn’t work.

### 1/5 — Why just why

*2026-04-08*

so let me just tell you something really quick I need this bug fixed there are two things that have happened when I put the sun that infinite mass if I ever do that in 2024 and before when I put it there it literally went crazy also I had a kids learning tube app by time and when I go out it's literally glitching showing kids learning tube all over the place it's like going crazy man I just want you to fix that when you never didso it's too late for that one that's why I'm giving a one star but now this next one I after the year ended when I put it to this day through 2025 if I ever put it at infinity the sun was low would be glowing white and then just kick me out of the game please fix this bug next title will be thank you so much if you ever do that thank you so much I'm praying to God right now please fix this

### 1/5 — Uh

*2026-04-05, version 0.365*

This game has so much potential. AND YET THEY DIDNT BOTHER TO USE IT. Not only does the collisions physics suck, but it doesn’t function properly. The movement is way to janky and forced it’s also impossible to give anything a moon, or rings without the main thing just slingshotting into space, or the planet completely suck it up. Do universe sandbox. Not this

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great but too many ads

*2026-08-24, version 0.394*

Very good

### 5/5 — I love the game

*2026-08-23, version 0.394*

This game fun how about adding some nice stuff like warm holes and a in  black dwarf

### 5/5 — Request?

*2026-08-19, version 0.394*

I was wondering if this update came true can are life likehood like universe sandbox could you fix saves because they are always buggy sometimes when loading it could you also add Stars life-span also a option when placing Star planet or anything really could you have Random-Star, Random-Planet and Random-Moon and could you also not have it always at default 16.6 to 7 rot.period! 
Thank for you reading this if you do and this is no a push but an idea if you are struggling with some.

### 5/5 — Amazing new update + Life

*2026-08-16, version 0.394*

Love the game  I would love to say how far this game came the new update is amazing to the gas that comes off from collision to the climate update is amazing helps you keep adjusting the planet.  To habitable conditions instead of doing whatever like in the past I think what would make it blow up more is life like if there was a simulation for a planet to be habitable or creatures or aleast something that says this planet habitable 8 billion humans or species aka and if you were to collide thw planet with a asteroid or planet life gets eradicated overall good game 5 stars

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-16, version 0.394*

I updated the game but before I updated the game I could zoom at Jupiter and every planet and see super good detail but and the title of planet would shrink so I knew where it was and when I updated it it made the zoom bad again 😭😭😭😭😭

### 5/5 — One more thing to make this game better…

*2026-08-16, version 0.394*

When you want to save your system in your cloud, add a thing that saves your system into your cloud or in your files.

Thank you.

Also, great game I love it! <3

### 5/5 — It look like I got a virus update

*2026-08-16, version 0.394*

I updated and it looks like I got an update virus

### 5/5 — But why is it Spanish make an change language settings

*2026-08-16, version 0.394*

I can’t change my language. Can you help me try to make an change language settings? It never works. I hate when it’s Spanish just make it cause I hate it when I like this but I hate it when it’s like that because for years

### 5/5 — Only the developer can respond

*2026-08-14, version 0.390*

What’s the next update date? ( when will it release? )

### 5/5 — Great game +  suggestion

*2026-08-13, version 0.390*
