Magnifique

Une version francaise svp, ce serait bien aussi. Mais sinon, cest superbe. Merci.

Cest très bof

Sauf erreur de ma part, on ne peut pas représenter le système solaire à une date donnée. Les échellles ne correspondent à rien. Pas de vue des satellites des planètes à part la Lune. Ça ne vaut pas grand chose

Hat sicher mehr Potential...

...aber derzeit ist es nichts weiter, als ein wenig Grafik mit Querverweisen ins Internet->NASA/Wikipedia etc. Keinerlei Konstellationen oder gut aufgemachte Infoss, da sind Mitbewerber besser (wie zB. Solar Walk, obwohl das auch nicht das Nonplusultra ist!). Und auch keine Unterstützung für iOS4/Retina Display Devices. Für den Preis nur bedingt empfehlenswert.

Good gaffics

Needs an update

Non merita 0,79€

Immagini e informazioni (in english)ok Peró non merita il suo prezzo ci sono app a 0€ migliori

A beautifully rendered guide to our solar system

Great app! One suggestion for an update... right now you can scroll left or right through the planets while in the 3d view, which is great... but Id also like to scroll through them while on an info panel. So say Im looking up the composition of Earths core and atmosphere, scrolling left would take me to Venuss composition page or scrolling right would take me to Mars composition. Anyway, great job on this!

Great Start

This is an excellent database of information about the planets, however some more polish would be nice. For example, the scrolling is counter intuitive because it works in the opposite way that it usually does on the iPhone/iPod Touch. More in depth information about satellites and missions would be excellent. That, along with some extra pizzazz would make this five stars.
