Customer Reviews
Great app!
This is an amazing app! And by the way, there's a slider to control the light so you can see the whole planet.
I love it, but...
You should just take away the day/night feature completely. The day/night is cool and all but it makes it harder to use the app and it makes lots of people not like this app. Take it away or allow it to be turned off and your rating will go even higher.
Terrific app
Just downloaded this app and it is amazing. The detail of graphics and the info it relays. And it's free.
