Hello, if you are looking for an app that runs amazing and looks great than this is the app for you. If you are looking for an app that gives you an accurate representation of where the planets are in their orbit around the sun, than this is not the app for you. This app gives you a general idea for where the planets are but it's off. I think this app could be perfect if some minor dev work was done to position the planets better. Overall 3-5 stars for now, if the positions got re worked it would be a 5-5
Beautiful and Mesmerizing

I have recently started keeping track of the path of the sun and the moon through the sky, moon phases, etc. For some reason I find this grounding and endlessly interesting. But I was having trouble wrapping my head around the relative position of all of these celestial bodies as they rotate and orbit. This app shows it all beautifully!! I love the visual of the instrument, the music, everything. Beautiful and mesmerizing!
Fantastic

Such an improvement already! It was beautiful and impressive but the rendering improvements and smaller control buttons made a huge difference! Just make Saturn’s rings look the right scale and I’ll love it!!!
mesmerizing

as a clueless viewer i was stunned by the relative rush Earth and its moon seem to be in. but the best thing is the calming effect gazing has on the mind.
Please keep this live/ up to date!!

This is an important app, it is visually appealing and it is educational, something the iPad was designed for. Again, unlike other good ones, please keep supporting this .....
Crashes

crashes during long high speed projections on 4s. Also you can't set the date beyond 2038. Avoid this and keep your sanity.
Pretty but annoying interface

This is pretty, but the touch controls are more annoying than I have ever encountered. You can drag around the orrery, but when you release your finger it just keeps going. It seems like the designer is going for some kind of calming aesthetic effect, but the result induces stress when trying to navigate.
