Very Beautiful
I love this app. Although it is comparatively simple, it is also very beautiful and realistic. With a touch you can rotate the globe and watch as shadows and city lights give way to the sunlight. I really get the feeling of being an astronaut looking down at our living world. It is an excellent educational resource. I absolutely reccomend buying this app.
Missunderstood
I must be misunderstanding this app if I move it it moves so I don't know how to tell where I am in the whole picture. I don't like it. It should be free to try I would have never bought it
soothing
its just pretty to look at and it is also a globe and much more so haters chill its only a dollar and if you can afford an iPhone\iPod touch you can definatly afford the dollar that this app costs and as my mother used to say; "If you don't have anything nice to say go f**k your self".
