    This app looks/feels like someone's first programming project. What's there is a good start, but it's not very useful. Pinch-zoom doesn't work in big enough increments to be useful, and the controls for advancing/rewinding time aren't very workable. None

    Could be good but scale is too large for Galaxy S3. When zoom out to look at gas giants the inner planets disappear. If option included to alter scale will re install.

    It does what it says on the tin, and looks like everything's to scale, but that makes it too hard to see planets when you zoom out. They just become pixels. I'd like to see a not to scale map that shows you clearly where the planets are in their orbits.

    The model is very nice but needs more precise time controls and the planet's need to be larger. Right now you cannot precisely control the speed and the planet's are just too small to see when you zoom out to Jupiter. Fixing these it will be a great app.

    Poor design needs to slow down planets need.labeled. hard to see on a galaxy note huge screen. Show real time. Label planets show orbits. Could be good but as it stands now it stinks.
