Someone fetch John Carter! – Hello Mars Review

This app is silly! It does virtually nothing; shows you virtually nothing! Tap Sunrise, Sunset and it’s blank! Tap Pressure and it’s blank. Temperature always shows -80 to +80 C which isn’t correct at all. You cannot zoom in. Mars rotates with only one or two things identified. You cannot change the speed. The app freezes and crashes. If you don’t have WiFi on when you launch it, it doesn’t work. The Skip button is inoperable. If you have WiFi on, you’re in compass mode, but if you Skip, you are forced to sit through the same journey to Mars—each time! I’m worried about the future of our space program if this is the best Lockheed-Martin can do! No wonder so many Mars missions have failed! Don’t even bother downloading!
