What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about this Android app.
"This was a superb app, and it is still in a class by itself visually, but the developer has abandoned it and the user interface controls are no longer accessible on newer devices and later versions of Android. Regretfully therefore, I have uninstalled this once amazing app. I am going to miss it!"
"After discovering lite version, bought full one first chance I could. Well done ! EDIT ! Now it's turned into useless rubbish. July 2020 update....rubbish. stopped working, no way of using it."
"The app controls are not compatible with modern Tablets/smartphones. It seems like the developer stopped updating it after 2014. Where are you? Help us!"
"Doesn't work on my galaxy😥"
"Works great on my Galaxy S6 and Tab S2. Access the menu by pressing and holding the back softkey. Nice graphics and good info. I love it :D"
"Controls don't work on Samsung Tab S3"
"I love this...but There's no way to get to the options anymore so please fix that."
"Worked brilliantly on Galaxy S4; but when I upgraded to S7 Edge, this app lost all functionality. As the previous reviewer says, the controls are missing (apart from the time slider). Nothing can be selected -- therefore the only planet which can be viewed is Earth itself!"
"Fantastic"
"Not for someone with only a basic knowledge....not enough guidance! Great for potential nerds!"
