Aber die Simulation der Venus passt nicht ganz. Die Venus ist schneller als der Merkur. ### 5/5 — 挺有趣的 *2025-03-18* 场景切换动画希望优化一下，其他用起来还行吧 ### 5/5 — Good *2025-03-18, version 1.5.3* Good ### 5/5 — Cool App *2025-03-16, version 1.5.3* Love the 3D models and detail informations ### 5/5 — Absolutely Mind-Blowing!🚀🪐 *2025-03-15, version 1.5.3* Wow, The AR experience is so immersive—it feels like I’m actually exploring the solar system in real life! The graphics are stunning, the details are incredible, and the whole experience is both fun and educational.

Monthly Access or 3 Day Trial of Yearly only. Is there a mistake on App Advice? Maybe I got the free Premium just by clicking on Premium. Not sure. Will check to make sure I’m not being charged because I didn’t subscribe to anything. Will give it 5 stars unless I’me being charged. ### 5/5 — Excelente!!! *2025-03-12, version 1.5.3* Como si estuvieras en el espacio 🪐 ### 5/5 — Wow! *2025-03-12, version 1.5.3* Such an amazingly beautiful app- one of my absolute favorite ### 5/5 — Amazing and perfect app *2025-03-12, version 1.5.3* I love this app, really an amazing app ### 5/5 — good *2025-03-12, version 1.5.3* good ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-03-12, version 1.5.3* Wonderful ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 写他哪里不好 *2025-10-03* 什么都是要钱的好了 ### 1/5 — 限免入口根本找不到，玩不起就别玩 *2025-03-13* 呵呵 ### 1/5 — 小心零元陷阱 *2025-03-13, version 1.5.3* App Store標示0元，內購標示 Lifetime 0元，按下去扣了 790元，請大家千萬要小心！ ### 1/5 — GUI unintuitive *2024-08-31, version 1.2.7* and, unforgivably, the planets are orbiting the sun in opposing directions ### 1/5 — 为什么找不到小组件？？？ *2024-07-02* 重启都没有，都找不到小组件！！！小组件里没这个App看都看不到！！！ ### 1/5 — Fehlschlag *2024-03-23, version 1.1.10* Habe lebenslänglich abonniert aber mir wird das wieder entnommen ### 1/5 — Where to begin? *2024-03-23* Just looked at the simulated earth-moon system. The earth and moon rotate correctly. The moon is orbiting the earth in the wrong direction. Because of this, the face of the moon that faces the earth is changing as it orbits. It’s rotates multiple times in the course of a single orbit. The moon rotates multiple times in a single earth day and orbits the earth in a single day. What will you learn from this? **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. We have taken immediate action to address the issue you reported. A fix has been implemented, and we encourage you to download the latest version of our app (1.2.1) to see the improvements. In this update, we have corrected the moon's rotation to once every 27 days around its axis, and its orbit around Earth now accurately reflects a period of every 27.322 days. Your input helps us improve, and we're grateful for your support. ### 2/5 — 关于选项 *2024-09-02* 选择一个天体观看后找不到其他天体选项，无法退出当前天体。 重新下载最新版本后以上问题解决，但无法恢复购买。 **Developer response:** 非常感谢您的反馈！我们想通知您，这个问题已经在最新版本中修复了，您现在可以下载体验。请您试用一下新版本，并分享您的反馈意见。我们一直致力于提升您的使用体验，感谢您的支持！ ### 2/5 — Very hard to navigate *2024-08-31* I chose to explore Mars but got stuck on Phobos and no amount of tapping or dragging could get me back to focus on Mars. Also, I’m stuck there. I can’t find a way to back out and choose something else to explore. **Developer response:** We are very sorry for the bug which you have faced. Good news is that the new version is available to download and the bug is fixed there. Thanks for providing feedback and hope you enjoy using the app. Please feel free to let us know about your experience with the new version available. ### 2/5 — Unrealistic *2024-08-30, version 1.2.7* Even the “Realistic” mode is adjusted for ‘usability’ portraying a 10x Moon 1/10th the distance from Earth. Why not a mode that’s truly realistic? Or a disclaimer the objects massively distorted to support simple minds. The app does have pretty pictures and seems stable ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app for visualizing the solar system *2025-11-13, version 1.5.3* It would be more better if we can specify any planet as the immobile center and observe how others including the sun move around. ### 5/5 — So *2025-11-12, version 1.5.3* Good ### 5/5 — 评价 *2025-11-09* 非常好 ### 5/5 — good app *2025-11-08, version 1.5.3* detail is fine ### 5/5 — Space Gate AR Solar System *2025-11-07* Today is the first day I’ve tried it out and although I’m still exploring I really am enjoying it! ### 5/5 — It is superb on iPad! *2025-07-03, version 1.5.3* It is gorgeous and very fun to use. Bring solar system to our room, your kids would love it. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-06-19, version 1.5.3* And then some. ### 5/5 — EL *2025-04-27, version 1.5.3* 😇 ### 5/5 — Muy buena *2025-04-12, version 1.5.3* Entretenida ### 5/5 — A Stellar Experience! *2025-04-06* Space-Gate is an incredible app that brings the universe to life with stunning 3D visuals and AR, making it easy to explore planets and moons up close. The live astronomy magazine keeps me hooked with fascinating space news, while the black hole feature—where you can bend space-time—is mind-blowingly fun and educational. Perfect for kids, students, or anyone curious about the cosmos, it’s a must-have for space lovers! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
