Comments on Asteroid Alert for Android

★★★★★ Cool app. Love how it tells you how close the near earth objects are getting and when to duck and cover.

★★★★★ Very informative, can check solar storm activity and when we will be hit by the big rock 😁

★★★★★ I really like how more graphic and detail and how you can move around the parallel and see exactly how close an asteroid actually is some sites looks like the asteroids heading straight for the Earth and you can't know the difference here you can move it around the parallel and see the asteroid is not near the Earth great job everyone it's a good site for everyone

★★☆☆☆ I love the notifications that there's something coming towards Earth & it says what it is. I just wish you didn't have to be a high level mathematician or astrophysicist to make heads or tails of the information about the object & location. Most of the app is unintelligible to regular people other than the short blurb notifications. I think it's great to have that high-end info, if there could just be some way for regular people to understand it too & even learn the advanced stuff from it
