Excellent
This is an excellent product in so many ways. I’ve tried it out on a friends iPad a few nights before I decided to get it myself. A great teaching aid for my grandson who at 8 years of age loves star gazing and dinosaurs. The only negative thing that I feel should be addressed is the font used to identify the objects in the sky. The thin stroke serif face is hard for older eyes to see and is most frustrating to me. Perhaps a thicker stroke San serif face that can be dimmed if need be.

For Space Lovers
Very cool and informative. The app features a 3D interactive map of the solar system that is both user-friendly and fun. It also contains many pictures and educational material about each planet. Both the casual space enthusiast and the hardcore space nerd will find something to love about this app---or really anyone that has ever gazed into the night sky with a sense of curiosity or wonder.

Awesome and informative
Unlike other free apps out there on the solar system , Stellar Tour delivers on both the 3D graphics aspect as well as the information content. My favorite aspect of the app is the style of the educational text. Instead of boring me with dry facts, I feel like I am transported to the surface of each moon and planet.
