Planetary is a visually spectacular, interactive way to explore your music collection. Soar through a stunning 3D-universe randomly generated using information based on the artists and albums in your personal Apple Music collection. Planetary has been digitally remastered from the original creation by Bloom Studio, Inc and now allows you to shuffle songs, listen to albums on repeat, and create unique solar systems from your Apple Music Library. It's the Planetary some of you might have known and loved—but reimagined to function seamlessly on your updated tech. Are you ready to embark on your own interplanetary musical journey? **Please note that this updated version requires an Apple Music subscription and/or iTunes music library collection.** --- Original description from 2012 Planetary is an all-new, stunningly beautiful way to explore your music collection, available only on iPad. Fly through a 3D universe dynamically created by information about the recording artists you love. Visit planets that represent your favorite albums and control the playback of your music on iPad by browsing and selecting astronomical objects. Planetary is just the sort of science fiction experience you expect when using an object from the future like iPad. You'll want to show your friends this beautiful app. We've made it even easier to share Planetary at home; it looks incredible when you hook your iPad 2 up to a big HDTV or projector using the HDMI accessory. Planetary is the first of a new type of visual discovery app produced by Bloom Studio. In the coming months, we'll be releasing an ongoing stream of apps that let you explore and participate in social networks, video streaming services, and location-based applications in a whole new way! We're building new ways to see and communicate.
