Comments on Star Chart VR for Android

★★★★★ Super Cool I was really impressed with this app, I still think there are some basic things to work on, but it was a cool experience. My suggestions would be to have the planets look nicer, provide more general information on galaxies and things, and provide some more customizations for looking at the stars. Like changing the time, toning out the less bright stars, it isn't the easiest to use right now for stargazing.

★★★★★ Unbelievable. I've enjoyed Daydream and VR but this takes it to a whole different level. Seeing the planets as massive structures in space is incredible, but what's even more mind blowing is the use of the controller. The way information is presented is so cool, I feel like I've found a piece of alien technology. Being able to hold a planet in the palm of your hand is surreal, and then holding that planet up to the sun and watching the light affect the colors of the atmosphere is fantastic. It showcases the attention to detail of this app, which makes it so fun and exhilarating to use. Honestly this is the best use of Daydream I've seen to date, bravo Escapist Games.

★★★★★ A couple things would make this an even more stellar experience. When traveling to a celestial object, a user should see it in their home position, don't make us crank our necks around. Second, orbit mode is backwards. Make the planet rotate in front of the user, not the planet rotate around the user. Basically orbit facing the planet, like the moon does. Lastly, after a few minutes, the controller becomes very hard to manipulate. Like it is stuck in slow motion. Several events get queued up and the pointer gets laggy.

★★☆☆☆ Couldn't get past the moon It was stuck at the first scene prompt to select the moon. The earth was in the way and couldn't get it to select so never got to enjoy the app. Uninstalled and requested a refund. Bummer.

★★☆☆☆ Starts up but doesn't work... wasted $5 You select earth... travel to the planet but that's where the program falls flat. You're stuck and no selectable option works except to exit the program. $5 wasted.. don't be like me. Phone is a pixel xl

★★☆☆☆ Bad scale Edit: everything looks like it is 5 meters in front of me. Maybe it doesn't matter if it is a 2d app, but for VR right scale is important.

★★☆☆☆ Hangs After Selecting Earth For the last few days, I am unable to get any further than selecting Earth. I click on the controller button to move to the Earth and nothing happens. I click on the go back button and nothing happens. Very frustrating...
