A Mars rover in my living room? Awesome! Very cool app for kids and very big kids like myself.

Ty for being able to see where our space program is at. Is there a way to make app more interactive? I learned more about NASA when I visited over 40 years ago. I mean, I can understand security reasons, but can't you give more information on samples? How about a simulation of rover on any planet, let us see what they see. You are NASA, yet you give us so little information about what you were created for...what's out there. I saw no footage of previous missions. People are interested in space.

The update in May 2022 fixed this app for Android 11 & up. If you've tried it before and just got a black screen, try the update! It is truly inspiring to place the Perseverance rover in my living room and walk around it to see it from all angles.
★★★★★
Perfect app to let you see the real size of the Mars rovers! Wish they'd make the "Full Size" option for all vehicles, even the ISS!

Spacecraft AR is my favorite Augmented Reality application. I am regularly using this tool as part of the Augmented Reality demonstration during my workshop session. I am creating an awareness about this tool more than 10 to 15 workshop participants. I love this tool. Thank you.
★★☆☆☆
Nothing happens when you need to move the phone in circles to detect a flat surface. The app just freezes there and the only thing I can do is force close it.

'Made by NASA' Yes I know it's made by u, but I hate it they want to rec audio and capture our pics to hack I give 5 star when u remove the camera thing and let us do Mission without the cam. Thanks.

I have an S10 with Android 10 and the app doesn't work!! After selecting the mission and the vehicle, I'm supposed to see everything in 3d with the camera, but I can't. The screen stays black, and it asks me to "move the phone around in circles until the app detects a horizontal surface". It never finds such "surface". Then, I downloaded a PDF with images of rocks to see if that worked, but again, it didn't. It really is a shame.
