### 4/5 — Go ahead and remove the sudden suspense in universe level

*2026-07-10, version 2.9.1*

It’s so scary.

### 5/5 — 개체 너무 적음

*2026-06-25*

1000개 이상의 개체 추가해주고 비교를 직접 만들 수 있게 해 주세요.(비교를 직접 만드는 것은 개체 수를 적당히 조절 하는 것, 길이, 굵기, 넓이, 높이, 크기를 자동 말고 선택 사항으로 하는 것)

**Developer response:** 리뷰를 남겨 주셔서 감사합니다. 현재 버전 3.0에서는 약 300개의 오브젝트를 제공하고 있습니다. 향후 업데이트를 통해 더 많은 오브젝트와 기능이 추가될 예정입니다.

### 4/5 — This is amazing

*2026-06-20, version 2.9.1*

This app is amazing but i recommend you add 9 new objects no 1 grain of salt no 2 grain of sand no 3 grain of rice no 4 apple no 5 Empire State Building no 6 the multiverse no 7 up quark no 8 down quark no 9 helium nucleus

### 5/5 — For v3.0 and GamifyIt research

*2026-06-20, version 2.9.1*

What are you working on right now for v3.0 and when will you post your progress on YouTube?

### 5/5 — Can ya add more?

*2026-06-20*

Can you add some things like: Sombrero Galaxy, an apple, banana, and Planet 9 (a hypothetical planet in the outskirts of our solar system and is estimated to take 10,000 to make a single orbit around the sun) please? Your app is really good nonetheless!

Sorry I had to edit again:
There’s something in space that’s located 14 million light years away called Cloud 9. Astronomers think it’s a failed galaxy. It’s pinkish-purple in colour and mostly made of gas and dark matter. It is estimated to be about 4,900 light years across.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the 5 stars and your suggestions. We added IC 1101 in 2025, and Giga Nevada was replaced by Giga Texas in 2023. 
You can choose the app language in the app settings.
Black holes themselves are invisible (nothing, not even light, escapes the event horizon), so all depictions focus on their effects on nearby material. The iconic “swirly” look primarily comes from accretion disks: flattened, rotating structures of gas, dust, and plasma that spiral inward, but these are not part of the black hole and can be confusing when visualizing its size. That’s why we chose to show a minimal amount of material surrounding the black holes.

### 5/5 — Please Add

*2026-06-06, version 2.9.1*

Would You Like More Continents, Countrys, States, Or Distances Like Proxima Centauri Or Andormeda Galaxy? Also Thanks For Feedback On My Moms Phone Since I’m Not A Adult. (Not Telling You My Age).

### 5/5 — v3.0 starts in June

*2026-05-30*

What date in June will you start working on the next update for Universal Zoom? Also, you said you would focus on elementary particles and other new objects in the next update besides particles.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the 5 stars, as always. We will start actively working on v3.0 in June and post our progress on our YouTube and TikTok channels. 
Meanwhile, we need to concentrate on a prototype for the new app.

### 5/5 — Progress on next update 0%

*2026-05-16, version 2.9*

This app is amazing and fascinating and interesting and brilliant! I don’t know what else to say. Every update shows more amazing objects and how they fit in our world. The visuals are wonderfully done and the info on each object is simple enough for anyone to understand. It’s fun and educational but not at all limited to school aged children. Adults will enjoy this app just as much.

### 2/5 — Why a Tesla?

*2026-07-27, version 3.0*

We know how hated this brand has become, and why. Please use a different vehicle, something classic and respected. Seeing this choice leads me to not bring up this app when people ask about my faves. It is one. But I won’t say so.

### 3/5 — I can’t go beyond the universe can you add an update please

*2025-06-08, version 2.7*

If you say no me sad 
If you say yes THEN GO ADD IT

### 3/5 — Update?

*2021-12-22, version 2.5.1*

This is for the creator of UniversalZoom. I love the game and all but I would really like to see a major update with The actual largest star a.k.a. Stevenson 2-18, The largest black hole (TON-618) and many more things so I hope you can understand.

### 3/5 — Quarks

*2019-05-13, version 2.4*

Why did you remove quarks also add Hadrons and I heard the smallest sparticles don’t know if it is scientifically official. Also a representation of Plasma. They people could comprehend the Hadron collision process.

Another edit:
Can you add a toggle where it can change between Creation and evolution? Between the Bible and science? Between Creation and the big bang? Between thousands of years and billions of years? 

Otherwise that, may God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit/Ghost (The Trinity, three Persons in one) bless you in the production of your brand new application coming later this year! Accept Jesus as your Saviour, which will allow Him to dwell in your heart, you will, for certain, go to Heaven and live with Yelweh \'yäl•wā\ (God's real Name, but we call Him "God" to show respect).

### 5/5 — 建议

Still great app and they are still adding to it!!

### 5/5 — Important Research

*2026-07-21, version 2.9.1*

What is the 5th object in your update that is bigger than subatomic/atomic particles? How could you know that? What day in July’s end will you release v3.0?

### 5/5 — For v3.0 and GamifyIt research

*2026-07-16, version 2.9.1*

What date in July’s end will you release v3.0 for this app? How many bigger objects will you add in a “handful”?

### 5/5 — Please Add
