Yes we show REAL cloud data every three hours, and YES we move the day/night terminator line every 15 minutes. We are LIVE! Tap and move, pinch expand.
Tactical feedback, people tell us tap and move isn't instant. Look you are moving 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Kilograms of Earth! It's wet it's heavy it's slippery what do you expect. we try. Just FEEL the globe as it moves...
Or just check the weather which shows current conditions for any point on the globe where there is a nearby weather station for conditions in the last hour, and very accurate forecasts for the next two days.

Zoom too sensitive
zeebeedee
Pinch to zoom is too sensitive. Please lessen the sensitivity and add more images and make them higher resolution.
266 countries, amazing and I can touch them all!

Amazing didn't realize there was so many countries in the world and that they are mostly all wired to the internet. The fact I can double-tap to view google maps was great. At dinner tonight as a friend wanted to see the Palace in East Timor as he actual was THERE this summer, we zoomed down to his favourite beach. 389 ms I'm told to echo to East Timor somewhere. Emailed the developer again, they tell me they added day & night time views to this now, but I found the cloud data a bit har har *cloudy*. But in 1.2 you can turn that off. App just gets better and better over time. At least now I can see if my telephone company actually is providing access to any country in the world and how spotty their service is. You do wonder if our government or telco is block access to certain countries, this proves they are not., at least for me.
Awful

The app is poorly conceived and badly put together. A sparkling globe revolves, makes pinging noises, and one can drill down to a map which is poor quality (great rectangular sheets of Lake Malawi extend onto the land) which then allows you to look at a pin which makes a claim about ping time. That's it. If you press i, then a page of gibberish covers the screen which can't be got rid of. It's idiotic and I'm a fool for having bought it.

Probably one of the more unique ways of using a "google earth format". I have to say the live cloud-cover and light terminator was pretty cool. I found myself wasting some time on the bus watching storm clouds forming off the west coast, and was completely unsurprised to get hit by heavy winds that evening. The ability to know just how well my isp is connecting me to each country is pretty cool too. (I was disappointed that the ping time to where my brother moved to is so high). Given the high turn around on updates, and the number of interesting features being added each time, I'll go with a 5 for an interesting app + effort. The free part is a bonus. It would be nice to see better resolution and a more definite location mapping for different cities etc. Edit: Oh, there's a pro version, nm.
좋습니다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

재밌네요! 자세해서 더 좋은것같아요. 추가되었으면 하는것은 검색 기능인데 예를들어 어느나라 를 검색하거나 도시를 검색하면 그곳으로 찾아갈 필요없이 한번에 가서 보면되니까 번거롭게 지구 도려가면서(가끔 이상한 방향으로 돌아가더군 ㅡㅡ) 볼 필요가 없어서 편할것 같음ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 근데 이거 한글로써도 알아듣나?
Nice

Should have a option to customize colors according to different latency time intervals.
Works fine

I like this WorldPulse app, though I'm not sure how useful or practical it is. I'm sorry a previous reviewer was so negative about it, and didn't understand the "gibberish" on the information screen, and also failed to locate the "[x]" in the lower left corner of the screen in order to clear it. I can't find much to fault in the app, and what faults exist may not be the developer's fault (the map resolution and overlays). Thus, I'll give this 5 stars for now, for doing exactly what it claims, doing it well, and doing it with a bit of flair!
Nice

Does exactly what it says. Pings a country. Maps are just a bonus. Clouds are awesome. Wish there was a 'go to' feature tho. Not sure of the difference between all 4 versions of your app though.
