Exoplanet

The Exoplanet app is a highly visual and interactive catalogue of all known exoplanets. Exoplanets are planets orbiting stars beyond our own Solar System. It is frequently updated whenever new discoveries are confirmed. An amazing model of the Milky Way lets you explore our universe all the way from the Solar System to the cosmic microwave background. This app has been developed and is maintained by a professional astronomer.

Main features:

* Interactive visualisations and animations.
* Physical properties of all detected exoplanets and their host stars, updated on a daily basis.
* Stunning 3D model of our Milky Way showing the location of all known exoplanets. You can zoom into any planetary system, explore how the night sky and the constellations look from the surface of other planets, or zoom out and see other local galaxies and galaxy clusters as well as the cosmic microwave background.
* Visualisations of exoplanet orbits and the habitable zone.
* Push notifications are sent out whenever a new planet is discovered.
* Augmented reality sky map: point the phone towards the sky to find an exoplanet!
* Interactive multi-touch correlation plots.
* Extensive background information on exoplanets and detection methods.
* Full support of planets in binary, triple, quadruple systems and orphan planets.
* Real-time ray tracing on the GPU.
* Experimental support for Philips hue (changes the color of the light bulbs according to the temperature of the currently selected star).
* Includes alternative identifiers from Uwingu.

just amazing
rerum norvaum cupidus

indeed a great map of thecosmic sea

Love the app. Like a real supercomputer

I love how you can view any known exoplanet/solar system in our galaxy, and it also has a data on each planet and shows distances to each planet and from each star.

Incredible amount of information

If this doesn’t give you some perspective, nothing will.

Your app is amazing! I don’t know if this would be possible in the future of your app or not, but it would be interesting and incredible if you had an option for a new perspective. Have it so a person could see a sky view from the surface of a planet. I know it wouldn’t be perfect with atmospheric unknowns, but just to see the stars and new constellations from that perspective and real time rotational speed would be so cool. I would pay more for that as an add on. Thanks for such an interesting app!

Still active?

The app has been great for many, many years. However, I haven't received any notifications for newly discovered exoplanets in a very long time. I know TESS recently confirmed some new exoplanets, but you wouldn't know it using this app. Not to mention the last app update was over a year ago. I'm considering it abandoned. Hopefully it'll get some love in the future.

Not updating

The database hasn’t updated in a while. Is it still being supported?

It's one of the most inspiring,educational n interesting apps., I ever purchased. I've purchased most of the "add ons". If u r into space,u would love it too!!!? I haven’t received any new updates in the last year or so, with new planets n stars. I know there are more discoveries. Why don’t I get them??! Other than that and the print overs, of some of the planets distances from earth ?, overlap each other n is hard to read, I like the app.!?

Marvelous

A great way to explain and display the scale of our universe. The info on exoplanets is shown clearly and I have enjoyed using this app a lot! My only beef is the sloooow pace of updates.
