Comments on Pocket Planets for Android

★★★★★ A Google User · Dec 15, 2014

Well done for the amateur astronomer Extremely smooth and fluid movements of the planets and their moons makes this a wonderful app to gain amateur information on the solar system.

★★★★★ A Google User · May 12, 2015

Beautiful app ☺ Beautiful fluid graphics which are pleasing to the eye. Smooth and accurate operation. Loads of great information on objects. Love it. 😊

★★★★★ A Google User · Dec 31, 2013

Great to learn the astronomy of the solar system and have fun doing it.

★☆☆☆☆ NM Wordsworth · Jul 30, 2016

No forward compatibility Worked brilliantly on Galaxy S4; but when I upgraded to S7 Edge, this app lost all functionality. As the previous reviewer says, the controls are missing (apart from the time slider). Nothing can be selected -- therefore the only planet which can be viewed is Earth itself!

★☆☆☆☆ Larry Stewart · Jul 2, 2021

This was a superb app, and it is still in a class by itself visually, but the developer has abandoned it and the user interface controls are no longer accessible on newer devices and later versions of Android. Regretfully therefore, I have uninstalled this once amazing app. I am going to miss it!
