Gives you a real appreciation for Mars as a planet and its geology, especially the Valles Marineris canyons. The extra photos and info bulletins are a great touch too?
Just one of the things I learned playing around with this cool interface!
This app is so detailed and organized it's just so amazing. I love everything about space and this app just makes it better!
One of the best free informational resources on Mars I've found on the App Store. Easy to use interface and a ton of interesting facts to discover, nice one!
I don't understand the need to go to Mars, but if you really like science fiction this app is for you. Thank you for sharing.
As someone who will probably never get a chance to go to outer space in my lifetime, this is such a cool app! Really detailed and informative.
I've always wanted to be an astronaut. Now I feel with this app I can travel to Mars without leaving earth. Well design and constructed.
