Read full description

NASA's Earth Now is an application that visualizes recent global climate data from Earth Science satellites, including surface air temperature, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, and water vapor as well as gravity and sea level variations. Data sets are visually described using "false color" maps. Color-coded legends are provided to indicate relative strength or weakness of an environmental condition. The resulting 3D model of the Earth may be rotated by a single finger stroke, and may also be zoomed in or out by pinching 2 fingers. It was developed by the Earth Science Communications and Visualization Technology Applications and Development Teams at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with support from NASA Headquarters.

Features • In-depth, interactive stories of endangered animals, including giant pandas, tigers, monarch butterflies, sea turtles and polar bears. • Playful interactive elements that incorporate both iPad’s and iPhone’s unique features. • Origami of each animal that folds up, allowing you to place it in a photo and share with friends and family. • Up-to-date conservation and wildlife news. • Stunning high-definition, full-screen videos and image galleries, featuring photos and downloadable wallpapers by renowned environmental photographer Morten Koldby. • Cool and unusual animal facts.

About World Wildlife Fund For 50 years, WWF’s mission has been to create a future in which people live in harmony with nature. A core part of that mission is saving wildlife from threats like poaching, habitat loss and overuse of natural resources. This important work doesn’t just help wild animals; it also contributes to people’s health and well-being. By conserving species and their habitats, we can also help to ensure we have a thriving, healthy planet with forests that slow climate change and oceans that provide more than one-sixth of the world’s food.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Earth holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 42 and 194 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Earth's written reviews are positive against 88% of WWF Together's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Earth ships an update every 4 months, WWF Together every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
