Advanced Space Flight is a realistic space simulator for interplanetary and interstellar travel. It is the only space simulator available that takes into account relativistic effects during interstellar flight. Besides simulating space flight, this app can also be used as a planetarium, with all known planets shown in real scale with their accurate keplerian orbits. It can also be used as a star chart and exoplanet explorer, showing all solar systems with confirmed exoplanets within 50 light years from the Sun. This is the only app where you can get a sense of the true scale of the Universe, zooming out through thousands of galaxies and galaxy clusters until you see the entire observable universe in your screen. Locations with full access: - All inner planets in the Solar System and its moons: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Mars, Phobos, Deimos, Ceres - Nearby star systems: Proxima Centauri, Alpha Centauri, Sirius, Epsilon Eridani Locations with partial access: - All solar system planets plus 5 dwarf planets. - All confirmed exoplanetary solar systems within 50 light years. - Experience the full scale of the Universe: you can zoom out from a few meters to billions of light years, until you see the entire observable universe in your screen. Flight Modes: - Realistic Flight: Travel using optimised trajectories, calculated based on the orbital parameters of the origin and destination planets to minimise fuel usage. These are the kind of trajectories that would be used in a real space mission. - Free Flight: Take manual control of a spaceship in space, activating the engines as you see fit to achieve your goals. Spaceships: Advanced Space Flight features several spacecraft, but only one in available in this free version: - Space Shuttle (Chemical Rocket): Designed in 1968-1972 y NASA and North American Rockwell. It has been in service from 1981 to 2011, making it the most successful reusable spacecraft ever built. - Falcon Heavy (Chemical Rocket): Designed and manufactured by SpaceX, made its first flight in 2018. - Nuclear Ferry (Nuclear Thermal Rocket): Designed in 1964 by Ling-Temco-Vought Inc. - Lewis Ion Rocket (Ion Drive): Designed in a 1965 study by the Lewis Research Center. Artificial Satellites: Several human-made satellites are present in the app: - Sputnik 1 - Hubble Space Telecope - Internation Space Station - Kepler Space Observatory - Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) - James Webb Space Telescope Join our discord community for discussions or suggestions about the app: https://discord.gg/guHq8gAjpu You can also contact me by email if you have any complaint or suggestion.

The first real 3D Black Hole ever in a game! Augmented Reality Space Game: When space is our only chance to survive, we need to explore our solar system, in this augmented reality (AR) space simulation game, in a hope we're gonna have the answers to save our species from impending extinction. There's someone or something out there who left clues and ways for us to contact, but why? Do we wanna know? We have no choice, WE HAVE TO KNOW! ========= VISUALLY STUNNING You're gonna feel like a live IMAX movie theater experience. We pushed AR its boundaries in this game with the perfect balance between, cinematic graphics and best performance. INNOVATIVE CAMERA SYSTEM Our innovative camera system is like nothing in AR so far. Change perspective, yet, but it's still gonna work and feel as the default AR camera (device live camera). No spoilers here. Just download this game and you'll be stunned. 3D SPATIAL AUDIO In this game, space speaks with you. Your position in the real world affects the audio you hear. Just like in real life, you can hear your surroundings. You can listen to "see with your ears" where a strange object is, maybe orbiting close to you. Maybe an explosion nearby. You have to listen to space. IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING This is just the beginning. We plan on expanding the game in future update, with new stages and features. And you will get it without the need to pay more for it. ======== **If you enjoying playing the game, please consider leaving a review on the App Store.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Advanced Space Flight Lite at Free against ORBIT AR's $0.99. Advanced Space Flight Lite also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 50%) and ratings volume (83 vs 4). ORBIT AR's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ORBIT AR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Advanced Space Flight Lite has 83 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Advanced Space Flight Lite's written reviews are positive against 50% of ORBIT AR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Advanced Space Flight Lite ships an update every 4 months, ORBIT AR every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
