Comments on SOS Explorer for Android

★★★★★ James Fontana · Dec 21, 2022

So much science info cramed into this app you won't be able to let it go. Even had SOS in my old phone

★★★★★ Marat Muratbekov · Apr 10, 2026

Cool but it actually has lesser features then in the NOAA films

★★★★★ K Mart · Aug 13, 2019

Ubhj and you are the chips what time do you think you could pick and what are not in whatever I can get the way you want to come to apologize if and you got going I want us to meet and talk to him tomorrow I have an idea, and I truly believe I have my phone number to rosewood

★★★★☆ Peter E · Aug 12, 2019

Fantastic way to learn about so much, thanks! My only wish is zoomable menus/legends. Even on my 6+ in screen, some if it is barely legible.

★☆☆☆☆ Mary Nash-Powell · Aug 11, 2019

I was excited to learn about this app, but I've installed and uninstalled 3x to no avail. I finally got a menu of databases, but nothing works. I couldn't even get it to close. The only thing I could do was rotate the globe. Very sad.

★★☆☆☆ Carl Reinemann · May 7, 2020

Initial look is good, but the data... 2012 data for Aurora's? Satellite positions only get the message "unable to load satellite orbit information. Can only spin the globe, some of the movies play, Sat imagery of earth in true color is from 2019. Running on a Note 9. Requires a lot of data, recommend Wi-Fi only
