Exoplanets are planets orbiting stars beyond our own solar system. This app allows you to explore all discovered exoplanets, their measured physical properties, their location in the night sky, and their host stars. An interactive model shows you the entire observable universe, all the way from the surface of the Earth to the cosmic microwave background. This app has been developed by a professional astronomer. Main features: * Interactive visualizations and animations. * Physical properties of all detected exoplanets and their host stars, updated on a daily basis. * Stunning 3D model of our Milky Way showing the location of all known exoplanets. You can zoom into any planetary system, explore how the night sky and the constellations look from the surface of other planets, or zoom out and see other local galaxies and galaxy clusters as well as the cosmic microwave background. * Visualizations of exoplanet orbits and the habitable zone. * Choose between the Open Exoplanet Catalogue, the NASA Exoplanet Archive, and the Extrasolar Planet Encyclopedia (exoplanet.eu). * Push notifications are sent out whenever a new planet is discovered. * Augmented reality sky map: point the phone towards the sky to find an exoplanet! * Interactive multi-touch correlation plots. * Solar System planets, major moons, and asteroids are included. * Explore S-Stars orbiting the black hole at the Galactic Center of our Milky Way * Background information about exoplanets and detection methods. * Full support of planets in binary, triple, quadruple systems and orphan planets. * Real-time ray tracing on the GPU.

About

Quantum Horizon

Features
Read full description

Quantum Horizon is a cinematic observatory for relativity and quantum physics — built so you can feel spacetime, not only read about it. Fall toward a black hole and watch minutes become years. Drag masses across the Milky Way and catch Einstein rings. Prepare a wave function, then collapse it. Entangle two particles and run a real Bell test. Leave near light speed and return younger than the world that waited. WHERE SPACETIME BENDS • Black Hole Time Warp — Schwarzschild gravitational time dilation outside a horizon. Slide closer and watch Earth race ahead while your clock crawls. • Lensing Observatory — Interactive gravitational lensing across a Milky Way sky. Bend light, hunt rings, add companions that can fall into the well. • Relativistic Journey — Special relativity with live γ. Feel the twin paradox as two ages, not a textbook footnote. • You vs Others — Two ages. One voyage. See who aged less after a near-light trip. QUANTUM MEASUREMENT • Wave Function Collapse — Write two futures, set amplitudes, measure with the Born rule. One path becomes real. • Branching Histories — Parallel stories, optional relativistic aging, one collapse that chooses a history. • Entanglement Lab — Bell states (Φ± / Ψ±), Alice & Bob detector angles, running correlations, and a CHSH test that can beat the classical limit • Live quantum link — collapse and entanglement sampling can reach a real-time quantum device — so the decisive moment is tied to genuine quantum hardware. MADE TO FEEL REAL Textbook formulas power the tools: Lorentz γ, Schwarzschild dilation, thin-lens geometry, Born-rule probabilities, and Bell correlators from quantum mechanics. Beautiful, playable, and built for curious minds.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quantum Horizon at none against Exoplanet's 7. Exoplanet's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
