I looked and thought I might as well give it a try. I'm not sure how to put it into words that even come close to describing it, so how about magical, hypnotic, special and bewitching. The music is lovely and watching the twinkling sky is really relaxing. I know this is a free app (I would happily pay for this app) but I would love to have the English translation. My guess is the words are even more precious than the visual and auditory experience. Please do this, so that we too can share the words. I will be keeping this app on my favorites page. ### 5/5 — Fun *2011-02-28, version 1.0* Reminds me of the spook books by joe deleny Whooop, best app ever. Wish i could read it, and explore into the forest (idea for a seperate app, me thinks :D) Gr8 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — A pretty song, plus Japanese poems *2014-06-29* This app is kind of beautiful, but... It has a pretty specific audience, and I guess it isn't me. You might see the man in the screenshots, and assume he walks around and does something. He does not. The game is basically a simulation of the inside of a small snow globe. You can rotate the "camera" around what amounts to the inner wall of the snow globe. The man stands motionless in the middle, next to a flower. There are only a few things you can do with this app: 1. Rotate, so that you see the man (and the flower and the starry night) from different angles. 2. Tap the flower or one of a dozen bright stars, and bring up a poem written in Japanese. 3. Turn your iPhone upside down, and the snow will fall the other direction, just like a snow globe. There is also a pretty song that plays. If you would like to read a dozen poems, and listen to a pretty song, then this might be the app for you. If you download it, thinking surely there must be some way to make the man move, or do something other than read, you will probably be frustrated. But probably not too frustrated, because the song is actually pretty, and that makes it better :-) ### 4/5 — Magical! *2011-04-26, version 1.0* Like the others say - I love it but wish it was on Emglish too! ### 4/5 — Star lit night *2011-02-20, version 1.0* Love it. Beautiful and relaxing. I wish I could read it. ### 4/5 — Beautiful *2011-01-25, version 1.0* Lovely app very pretty nice music too. Only downside no text in english ### 4/5 — Pretty cute *2011-01-05* I cannot read the Japanese poetry, but the app is visually appealing and I like the song it plays. ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2015-11-08* Its so beautiful and i love the music! To bad i cant read Japanese? ### 5/5 — Beautiful! *2015-04-20* Captures the beauty of standing alone beneath a canopy of stars at night in 3D. The song’s nice, but the ability to move around in the app and see it from almost any angle makes it something special … and it’s free. I’d like to see more like this one! ### 5/5 — The music & feeling of the stars stays with you *2014-09-10* Gentle magical beauty. I love this app. It is hauntingly beautiful. The music, the graphics, the stars falling are simple yet so beautiful. It's what you feel when you watch and listen and touch it. It touches the spirit of us I got it long ago, but keep coming back to it. It's a favorite. It always makes you feel the beauty of the stars and the music. ### 5/5 — Even better than expected!!!! *2012-08-16* Laying in bed I thought "I'd really like to stare at the stars." this was exactly what I wanted! It was absolutely beautiful and the music is mesmerizing. Well done! ### 5/5 — Just amazing *2011-08-24* I loved this app! With the music and the graphics I felt like I was sucked into a fantasy book and living in it. It was so amazing that I was lulled to sleep with its peacefulness. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2011-07-29* Whenever im sad or mad i just turn to this app. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2011-07-20* Such a nice little app dedicated to Miyazawa. The setting couldn't be more perfect and the song makes me teary-eyed because the melody is so sad. I wish I could read the poems as well but I might just translate them myself if I get curious enough. Great app. ### 5/5 — Unbelievable *2011-07-10* I cannot believe how beautiful this is. The music is stunning. I feel like I'm floating in happiness when I watch this, 100 stars. ### 5/5 — Beautiful! *2011-06-19* I love this. It's so pretty and the music is lovely! ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2011-06-01* This is a visually appealing app, and the music is lovely. I enjoy seeing the poems in Japanese, because I think the hiragana is an art form itself, but I would also love to see English translations. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
