Set against a haunting, atmospheric soundscape, the app shows planets and satellites in their correct positions, and offers mini movies, facts and other related tidbits.” - TNW “This jaw-dropping app provides a wholly interactive 3D model of our solar system, one that’s had me hooked for days. It’s the kind of thing you can imagine a science teacher using in the classroom of the future — except that we don’t have to wait.” - CNet “Zoom from Mercury to Pluto (which makes the cut in this app), passing each planet’s moons along the way. Because Solar Walk knows what time it is, the planets are in proper orientation to the Sun: Earth is dark where it is currently night and gradually lightens to daytime on the other side.” - NY Times "It's great for showing my students the relative positions of the planets in the solar system, the satellites orbiting the Earth and our place in the galaxy. Awesome with a smartboard as well." - by jbrown61 Solar Walk Ads+ enables you to: ► Observe the 3D model of our Solar system with all its objects in real time and in a proper orientation.

eQuake is a modern earthquake tracking app built to make seismic activity easier to follow, easier to understand, and more meaningful at a glance. With a live map, detailed event views, and advanced filtering tools, eQuake helps you follow recent seismic activity with greater clarity and explore events in a more informed way. It does more than display data. It turns seismic information into a cleaner, more readable, and more refined experience. Highlights - Live earthquake and seismic event map - Detailed event information - Filter by magnitude - Filter by date range - Filter by event type - Quickly center the map on your location - View your distance to an earthquake - View your distance to the nearest fault line - Instantly see last update time and event count One of eQuake's standout strengths is its multi-source data approach and advanced map visualizations. The app combines earthquake data from both USGS and EMSC, then refines it with its own merge logic to create a cleaner, more balanced, and more consistent event stream. This helps handle duplicate records more intelligently and delivers a more polished tracking experience. Advanced Map Layers - Active Fault Layer for viewing seismic activity in a richer geological context - Scatter Plot view for reading event distribution with greater clarity - Heat Map view for spotting regional intensity patterns at a glance - Mag Heat view for interpreting density and magnitude impact together eQuake presents earthquake data through a more refined visual language, making it easier to track recent seismic movement, explore events in greater depth, and follow multi-source data through a more elevated experience.
