• Positions for the current date/time for your location, or for a future date
• 4000 comets
• Optional 'tour on rails'

the compass screws up sometimes, but other than that it's all good.

I enjoyed the lift off feature the best, followed by the tracking of the constellations. The bad stuff happened with the orbital paths: taking off in insanity mode and making the hubs and I both want to ralph.

Looks interesting but won't work with Google Daydream... Lol, great response by dev though. If it's as simple as setting a "Daydream compatible" flag I'd be happy to test. I'd not, no worries.

Great. Perhaps classical outlines one day but great as is.

Excellent! Works without gyro! Super fine control. I can easily identify individual stars and constellations just by pointing my head at them, even in daytime! Thanks! Great job. You should teach others how to control without gyro. Bravo!

Seriously you are awesome! Other developers need to learn from you. It's amazing how your app works with just accelerometer and magnet sensor.

I really liked the concept but it doesn't work very well. It worked for about 2 mins then everything started going haywire and planets and stars started spinning really quickly and in a very random patern.

It should be taken as a lesson by other developers that one can make a smooth vr experience without gyro

Doesn't adapt to the device display size and density, leading to bad results with some devices (e.g., Nexus 7).

Loved that the sphere is scalable,its smooth,realistic visualization and learning tool.only other thing ,to make messier objects prominent like the planets,and some kind of menu system to toggle totally natural view with no suggestions or exaggeration,to exaggerated views of planets and/or messiers/comets.descriptions are already there.
