Reviews

No sound!!!
Starmanda1088

I was hoping the bad reviews from years ago were old news but to my dismay I cannot get sound on this app no matter what i do. Reboot, delete, reinstall, reboot. Blah. What a bummer. My son is crying because he was excited and is only 2 and doesn’t understand hardware malfunctions. Such is life.


Done in one day ?
???

My 6 year old son completed it in one day and now he’s bored he likes the videos and the cow but needs a update.


Stuck on Hubble
AstronomyDad

My daughter and I are stuck on the Hubble Telescope on the exploration map. We have no options to continue and are unable to journey to the next locked item. Also, when we select settings, we are asked to solve a math problem, but are unable to continue by tapping “Restore”. Help!


Where is the Kuiper belt

There’s something missing in the app and that would be the Kuiper belt and the exoplanets so can you add them please

Bad science
palmfreak2

The developers appear to lack basic astronomy knowledge. Many of their explanations are just wrong.


Updated-app great & developers very helpful
Katie Grieder

I had a ton of problems with this app when it first loaded but those issues have since been resolved. Vito Technology was extremely helpful and timely with a solution. My kids love this app. It’s easy to navigate, fun to watch and interact with and has a ton of great information.


Waste of money
Rmtaber

Sound dosen’t work. Long video introduction everytime you open the app. Not worth it


Do not buy
Jseniza

Not kid friendly- not easy to locate what you are looking at - waste of money
