### 4/5 — Needs more accessibility

*2026-06-23, version 3.1.1*

Can you make it so that you can choose what you  want to place like if I select black holes and then select a black hole (Ton618 for example) pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

### 4/5 — 不知道为什么

*2026-04-18*

只要两个黑洞相撞或者物体和那个什么黑洞被吸就会用轨道搞成一个方块，但是这个方块特别大而且还抽搐的。希望你们改一下。

### 3/5 — Things to add

*2023-03-28, version 3.1.1*

Thsi game is so good but there is two things missing I’ve been searching for a game similar to universe sandbox this is the closest one and it’s hard making things collide so I would recommend a button on the side of your screen taht when you click on it you can amke any planet collide with each other the next thing is I wanna be able to spawn galaxy’s to collide with each other and see what happens. One month later and I’m not happy I’ve been waiting for updates and I’m getting kinda bored of it and kinda what my money back if there isn’t any updates soon it’s being ranked 3 stars

### 4/5 — kinda good

*2022-07-12, version 3.1.1*

comets are bigger than planets……

### 4/5 — Why?

*2022-05-23, version 3.1.1*

Why would the maximum mass for a blue giant be 15 solar masses? A regular O-Type star is 16 solar masses! Also, add spectral types to the stars, like O3 or M9. It would be helpful for people like me, who depend on the MK Classification to classify stars. I know people have clamed this problem before, and it is that why did I place a dwarf planet, and I can’t edit it because it’s too small? Make the button bigger, so it is easier to edit the dwarf planet.

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2021-02-19, version 3.1.1*

Don’t get me wrong this game is good but their is a glitch. Whenever I play the game the planets start jittering. Please fix

### 4/5 — Pretty good!

*2021-02-08, version 3.1.1*

I’d suggest a feature so it’s not a 360 VR experience, and just be able to move with your fingers. Also, maybe when you put down a body, be able to see its trajectory before letting go to see how it will orbit, and be able to plan accordingly.

### 4/5 — 还可以

*2021-02-01*

功能都很不错，就是没办法看到黑洞吞噬恒星了，还有为什么行星在红矮星旁边就是绝对零度呢？希望开发者改进一下。

### 3/5 — 天体在向前飞行

*2020-09-18*

放置一个天体，它就自己向一个方向飞行。如果放置另一个同样的天体，组成双星系统，这个系统就会一起向前飞行，并且不那么规则地互转。希望可以有更精细的微调功能，实现各种参考系。

### 4/5 — About the bug

*2020-08-28, version 3.0.1*

This app I think is well.But it had some wrong.Went I go in.It crash.And chemist also have this wrong too.Hope you fix it.Thank you

### 5/5 — 超赞的

*2020-07-14*

超棒的呢！我一个同学，每到来我们家，就玩这个。但是还是希望超新星爆炸时能够出现一点特效，更生动一些，其他都很棒👍鸭

### 2/5 — また払うの？対応求

*2020-06-30, version 3.0*

2年ほど前にCHEMISTとの同梱をstoreで購入しました。
新しく買ったiPadでインストールしようとしたところCHEMISTの方はできたのに何故かこれは370円払えって出るんだけど。
また払わなきゃいけないの？
対応求

### 4/5 — A fun app for kids!

*2020-06-02*

If your kids would love to tweak around and play with the solar system then this app is the closest you’ll come to a universe sandbox experience on the iPad!

### 3/5 — Eh

*2020-05-07, version 3.0*

I liked it to begin with but as it got updates things got buggier. Yes they fixed some stuff but this needs major quality of life updates. For example, prior to an update you were able to tap and drag objects and move them to where you please. I don’t know if it’s a bug or intentionally removed but you absolutely cannot move any objects anymore once you place them even though I was able to before. The description of the game currently lies or my game is bugged. Viewing objects is weird because you can zoom in and out as well as move the camera with your finger but the camera also moves with you phone and I just wish there was a lock function on that. I would save your $3 for elsewhere.

### 5/5 — 非常好，太好了好的不得了。

*2020-04-26*

这个模拟宇宙的软件不仅达到了条件清晰，而且星座恒星流星彗星什么都有比较完美，符合逻辑非常好，适合推荐你一个软件给你五星。

### 5/5 — 非常好

*2020-04-13*

很好，是一款科普佳作。同时我有几点建议:希望能增加恒星的演化过程。而且希望能自定义天体运行轨道近远日点和倾角。而且，天王星和海王星轨道反了，希望可以修复。并且脉冲星的质量应该是太阳的1.4至3倍，再大的就是黑洞了，而软件中脉冲星的质量甚至达到了太阳的10倍，这是不对的。还有，两颗恒星相撞应该不会发生超新星爆发，只有恒星演化才会产生这一天文现象。还有一点，就是红矮星也是有宜居带的(格利泽581就是一个很好的例子)，只是距离恒星比较近而已，软件中不管红矮星的行星在哪里温度都显示为-273摄氏度。还有就是希望将行星创造出来之后，可以给出两个对话框，一个输入直径，一个输入质量，并且希望可以自定义行星表面环境。创造恒星的时候希望给出两个对话框，一个输入直径，一个输入质量，系统根据输入的数据自动计算恒星的颜色和表面温度，这样使用的人就可以对星体的大小有更多的选择。还有就是可以自定义气态巨行星有没有光环。还有最后一点，就是系统能根据行星所处的位置创造不同的行星表面环境，例如距离恒星特别近的岩石行星表面可以是熔岩，温度在0摄氏度到100摄氏度的可以有海洋，温度再低一些的表面可以是冰。以上就是我全部的建议，希望你们可以听取，把太空这款软件越做越好。

### 5/5 — 很好玩的游戏

*2020-03-04*

类地行星做的很棒，连灯光效果都有，希望以后能改造星球的状态，列如：更改大气层厚度，增加水、陆地面积、铁核心、星球是否能被射出等特效。

### 4/5 — Amazing but with some issues

*2020-02-18, version 3.0*

I really love to play this but there are some bugs with it
•First when ever I use a red dwarf star and have the planet close to the star it was -200 degrees
•When I played after a couple a couple weeks the planets will turn into large pixels.

These are the only Bugs I’ve found so far, but if these are removed it would improve the game a whole lot.

### 2/5 — Bad update

*2019-12-30, version 3.0*

Simulator is really bad since the update … Don’t even want to play anymore

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 七年前那个版本还算好，现在纯纯菲比

*2023-12-15*

早期对强引力环境的模拟不差，恒星靠近大质量天体时有洛希极限的反映，黑洞之间还能互相合并，虽然行星上不能有生命，但是至少可以看到它被黑洞撕碎，挺有意思
现在？超光速马赛克行星，二维展开小陨石，所有星体都是强核力材料粘起来的，加上根本没做（完）的生命系统，做的还不如一些免费游戏，缩小视角后的星系也完全不反映现实星系的旋臂结构，鉴定为制作组摆烂跑路，不如多攒点钱买个宇宙沙盒2薄纱这个破游戏

### 1/5 — This was good.. Now not so much

*2019-11-26, version 3.0*

I have deleted your app because your "update" ruined it. The planets now look like blobs. What happened to collisions? Ugh. Is there some way to get the original version back? Unless there is, you lost me.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-11-25, version 3.0*

It was the coolest physics engine i had in a long time.   But since the update, this space simulator is trash.    Give me back my money.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2019-11-12, version 3.0*

Just awful. Save your money.

### 1/5 — わからん

*2019-09-21, version 3.0*

課金とは思えないクオリティ

### 1/5 — 千萬別買plz dont buy

*2019-04-14, version 2.1*

不能調整大小you cant change the size of stars or planets
有bug

### 1/5 — App incompleta

*2019-03-28, version 2.1*

È da un anno che nei changelog è scritto che ci sarà un aggiornamento a breve, ma non si è ancora visto

### 1/5 — Basically useless.

*2018-12-17, version 2.1*

You think it could be really good at first, but then after 4 mins you realise it ain’t gonna get any better. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Waste of Money!

*2018-06-15, version 2.1*

I’m really into astronomy and had high hopes for this Space app based on the App Store editors review, but it was a huge disappointment. You can add various celestial bodies in space, but you can’t see them unless you zoom in individually. They are just tiny dots! What a waste of money!

### 1/5 — Bof

*2018-05-15, version 2.1*

Belle idée. Résultat décevant. Très peu maniable. Typo illisible car trop petite. On est loin d’un Solar walk. Sauf refonte totale, app à éviter.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Cool but…

*2024-12-04, version 3.1.1*

I don’t know how to play

### 5/5 — This is even Same as Universe Sandbox 2

*2023-02-11, version 3.1.1*

You know guys that Rip off universe sandbox called Pocket space It unsettling Music and very cursed it made by Pocket lab UK 🇬🇧 and next THIX has made this game that you can create your own Universe and you can explore Universe and Even fact Universe sandbox is working on IPads Apple phones but it might take long time It might be long as GTA 6 But for this treat

### 5/5 — Hey Hey!

*2022-12-29, version 3.1.1*

Let’s update this!!!!

### 5/5 — 非常喜欢

*2021-10-25*

产品特别好，制作认真，对天文爱好者是无价之宝。希望可以登陆星球上。多填加功能，比如可以轰炸星球。我请求父母下载，果然不错。

### 5/5 — Anyone else’s planets glitch like crazy after a while?

*2021-04-13, version 3.1.1*

This game is amazing, but it need some updates. Maybe customize your planet and be able to make an entire galaxy. The game has some glitches or it might be my device with the glitchy planets. Overall wonder game, keep it up. Please update stuff tho, I’d pay money 💵

### 5/5 — 增加一些东西

*2021-03-14*

这个游戏非常好，有智慧生命，生命，还有各种天文东西，但有些问题，为啥地球都不在宜居带了为啥还显示智慧生命，还有就是标有智慧生命的星球为啥退出这游戏一会儿又进去了标有智慧生命的星球就为啥不绿了，是bug还是资源开采殆尽了，希望还能更新星际战争，还有，就是希望智慧生命会殖民不适合生命诞生的星球

### 5/5 — Can you add more?

*2021-02-27, version 3.1.1*

Like customizing planets to have cities and launch rockets to other planets

### 5/5 — 特别好但是有点小bug和建议，希望可以看到

*2021-02-03*

行星有时会变成一团马赛克不停地抽搐，有时候一个星体屏幕底部的介绍会和星系的地步介绍重合，字体显示还是过小了，建议优化一下游戏，放置多个星体缩放屏幕后会变得特别卡顿。
  另外还想希望你们把星体爆炸的特效完善一下（可以参考一下MyPocketGalaxy）黑洞吞噬恒星能有吸积盘和特效。什么时候整一个超新星，黑洞相撞就厉害了。还有，有时后选择不了指定的天体（比如两个天体互相高速旋转，点击却选不到天体）那个恒星拉到最近的时候，表面的黑子之类的细节还不够啊，基本上就是模糊的（真的建议你们去看看MyPocketGalaxy怎么做的）总之就是再注重一些必要的细节，修复一些不必要的漏洞。
  祝你们游戏越做越好，加油，更新了我会一直来支持的。

### 5/5 — UPDATE ON LIFE BY THIX AND MICRO BY THIX

*2021-01-03*

Please bring update in Life By Thix. I am eagerly waiting for this as I am a great biology fan. The issue is that it freezes sometimes. Please resolve it quickly. I love your every app as it is directly related to science. I love mostly Life by Thix. I am in higher secondary and I am eagerly waiting for my experience to be a virtual doctor. Please resolve it as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — What happened

*2020-08-13, version 3.0.1*

2 updates ago I could merge black hole to 1 million solar mass, 100 black holes and I could zoom out to see the galaxy view without our my black holes going berzerk! I bought this all over again thinking you fixed it like it was but your glitch fix did not even include placing Neptune and Uranus into their proper places! Come on guys! It was by far the best universe sandbox, still is but not the same! Please! Fix the glitches,
