Exoplanet Reviews

Let me start off by saying Exoplanet is great for those who love astronomy and stuff like that. The graphics of Exoplanet are absolutely stunning and realistic and is fun to use. But I was really hoping to also zoom in on the other galaxies as well, not to see what’s inside cause it’s unexplored but just to see it close and detailed and read about them. Also would’ve been nice to see some nebulae up close and detailed as well. But I know Exoplanet just focuses on planets and stuff, but that add on would be so nice. Might as well call Exoplanet “the universe” if those things were added. Please keep up the great work

This is a fantastic app. Over all of the years I have had it, I never once deleted it because it is always expanding. The great thing about Exoplanet is that it gives you such a great picture of the known universe. In my opinion, the in app purchases are a must, and exponentially increase the capabilities of Exoplanet . The one thing I would like to see is textures added to the planets. It disappoints me that every planet is just a ball with a name on it. If you made a dozen or so textures for different types of planets Exoplanet would be much more engaging, and the solar systems would look much more alive without being unrealistic. Make some textures and I will give you five stars.

While exploring the program's Milky Way feature There was an option to explore local galaxies. That feature cost extra money but it was well worth it. It is the first time I've been able to explore in 3-D local structure of our universe and all its splendor.

I totally love this program and I have one major complaint, a feature that was added in at some point… When viewing the Milky Way stars on the side angle you can make out the spiral arms but when you view it had on it superimposes a fake photograph of the Milky Way galaxy. There should be a settings option to disable the fake photograph.

This complex app, this app, is an extremely educational free app made for iOS (version 17.1.0). It is designed to provide interactive visualizations and animations in order to share information on all known exoplanets. An this app is a planet orbiting stars beyond our own Solar System.

Exoplanet is designed for anyone ages 4 and up. this app is advertised as extremely accurate and anyone using it can be assured that they can rely on its data having been developed and maintained by a professional astronomer.

Exoplanet is also visually pleasing. For instance, if the milky way option is selected you are given a wonderful visualization of the Milky Way galaxy with labels to include the Sun. You can zoom in or search for any star, constellation, or planet and it will show you the location of the searched star or planet and along with its surroundings.

Exoplanet is chalked full of information! You can choose any planet and it will give you information such as the mass, radius, density, orbital period, and more! Exoplanet would be great for projects or research because it provides information on the Milky Way, extrasolar planets, spacecrafts, asteroids, galaxy clusters, and cosmic microwave background. The more I researched it the more I realized that Exoplanet exceeded my expectations! If you’re looking for an intriguing app full of information about space, this app is for you!

I was on Itunes U and enrolled in a Planet/ Cosmos course that had Exoplanet included for download. It completely took me to the next level. Things that my brain didn't imagine or comprehended were just unlocked by Exoplanet. I can't wait to explore it in detail. The data Exoplanet contributes is also breathtaking. I never knew we discovered so much in our solar system. To the creators of Exoplanet, thank you so much for giving the average person this access and we will continue to support you.

As a fan of astronomy, not a professional, I wasn’t sure how I’d enjoy Exoplanet. It’s truly amazing, informative, and entertaining. I can spend way too much time, just navigating our galaxy in the galactic view. I enjoy seeing the constant addition of newly discovered planets, and related information. If you’re at all interested I highly recommend it. The galactic view on a tablet alone is worth it.

Exoplanet is amazing! There are plenty of features which allow you to explore the observable universe and put the gigantic size of it in perspective. Scientific information is abundant and can lead to further research for those inclined.

Very impressed. Must download, and the add-one are worth it for the money!

A word to the developers, keep up the good work. Continually add new discoveries, fine tune and add exploratory features, and integrate more scientific and mathematical models.

Exoplanet is awesome. Whenever a seemingly unsolvable or unscalable human problem comes along, I open Exoplanet and look through the cosmos to remind myself that my problems are but a trifle in this universe. It also reminds me that there is a lot left to explore and a lot left to do over mind blowing distances and gives me some hope that humanity will get its collective stuff together to focus on galactic expansion versus the navel gazing territorial squabbling we are currently engaged in. Exoplanet is akin to the work Galileo, Copernicus, Hubble (and other astronomers and teams of astronomers) did to help humanity see itself accordingly. Keep up the good work!

There’s just one thing and that is that the exoplanets have no texture I’m not saying that it is a bad app just saying that they should really add the exoplanets texture I mean it would be better then a White ball with its name on it but it’s is a very great app I rate it a five star a lot of people mite disagree with me and they say that it’s a bad app because the exoplanets don’t have texture but I 100% disagree I feel like they can fix this and I can’t wait for the future of Exoplanet.!!!!!👌🏻😛

[I’ve removed a couple of paragraphs about broken features from my previous review. Those features have not only been fixed but enhanced. Five stars all the way now. Love Exoplanet!]

I love the this app app and was pleased to see that it had been updated.

Otherwise, it’s as great as ever and still one of my favorite apps. If those features are fixed, I’ll gladly bump up to five stars.

Shut in during the pandemic? this app is like a friend who takes your mind on journeys through our galaxy to newfound planets and other stars. It reminds me that there are so many other *REAL* places in the universe. I find this a great balm to counterbalance the boredom, fear, and isolation of lockdown. I look forward to ‘visiting’ the new planets that arrive with each new database download.

I’m so glad to have this beautiful and intriguing app on my phone.

this app is revolutionary! It has so many amazing features. You can really see the mechanics of the universe in real time and at any speed you wish.. this is a 3D visual map of existence. This is an example of what makes technology wonderful. A must have for anyone who is into astrology. Worlds upon worlds. Let’s you see every known planet and moon. Let’s you watch the cosmic clock tic away into infinity.. if I sound a little corny it’s because Exoplanet has hit me hard.. get it!

Your app is amazing! I don’t know if this would be possible in the future of your app or not, but it would be interesting and incredible if you had an option for a new perspective. Have it so a person could see a sky view from the surface of a planet. I know it wouldn’t be perfect with atmospheric unknowns, but just to see the stars and new constellations from that perspective and real time rotational speed would be so cool. I would pay more for that as an add on.
Thanks for such an interesting app!

For what to some may seem an esoteric subject, Exoplanet can open their eyes to the possibilities of, literally, other worlds. A very worthwhile use of time, with it you learn not only how many worlds there are in the neighborhood, but also what to expect.

The included, and simple-to-use correlation diagramming feature effectively teaches how to look at a typical large dataset, an invaluable teaching aide for life.

I find this feature particularly fun: change a parameter, study the resulting chart and quickly get an idea of what kinds of worlds are close by. For example, Earth is actually on the smallish scale of the typical planet out there. Many planets in the habitable zone are two, five, ten or more times larger, creating huge surface areas by comparison. Scaled up, imagine if getting to Europe was a 100,000km (33,000 miles or so) overwater journey!

Two thumbs up and five stars, guys!

It's one of the most inspiring,educational n interesting apps., I ever purchased. I've purchased most of the "add ons". If u r into space,u would love it too!!!😍
I haven’t received any new updates in the last year or so, with new planets n stars. I know there are more discoveries. Why don’t I get them??! Other than that and the print overs, of some of the planets distances from earth 🌍, overlap each other n is hard to read, I like Exoplanet .!😎
This is new.... many new planets/stars , have been added this month (Sept. 2020)!!
Thank you!!👍😍👍

Today is a special day that I wish I could be celebrating. Unfortunately many places around the world don’t celebrate this sacred and amazing holiday so I am currently looking for a suitable off-world alternative where everyday is 4/20. So far I’ve found a planet only a handful of light years away that seems like a good candidate. Hopefully I’ll be in contact with some benefactors to make this a reality. If you wish to join me on the trip to “Planet 420” you just gotta bring some “grass” to terraform the planet with no additional cost to you. Exoplanet is amazing

Update:
I am a big fan of Exoplanet. Developer spends a lot of time to update Exoplanet . Although I purchased all add ons, I used the recently added, developer appreciation add on and send him $1.99. Looks like it is a one time function, but if developer allows multiple actions, I will send him more funds for coffee. If you use Exoplanet frequently as I do, I do recommend contributing to him thru this new add on.
*******

This is beautiful app. Probably the most beautifully design and technically innovative app years after it was fist deployed...It is designed creativity and uses data wonderfully.

I purchased all add ons. I don’t mind if developers provide frequent updates and charge for them. It is a bit outdated for latest iPad screen sizes.

If they update Exoplanet , I do not mind to pay for upgrade. Hint to the developer.

and Kudos to developers..

I've enjoyed Exoplanet for several years and regularly use it to show my friends around the solar system, galaxy, and universe. The number and variety of exoplanets found so far is amazing and I love wandering the database looking for new and interesting systems. Some of my favorite usually include Jupiter size planets that are in comet like orbits. I know they are horrible on the chance of life but they gotta look cool. Screaming in at huge speeds whipping through perigee with crazy chemistry boiling away and the solar winds stripping the lighter stuff off in what must occasionally be an amazing tail!
Anyways, check out Exoplanet .

Exoplanet has been absolutely awe inspiring and profoundly important to me for years now. There’s no field more at the forefront of human ability and human significance than that of exoplanetology. The exoplanets app has detailed information about thousands of extrasolar objects. You can even virtually explore our Milky Way galaxy, while staying up to date on the latest this app discoveries, nearly in real time. Here’s a big thank you to the apps designers and for making it free! I bought the KOI add-on just to show my appreciation because The this app app has literally changed my life!

Although I am a PhD in psychology, Exoplanet gives us the proper perspective for our place in the universe and an incredible view of our galaxy, planets, suns, asteroids & etc. This is an amazing app for students, all the sciences, the curious and citizens of earth. This is the most under used gift to everyone on earth, all teachers need to get Exoplanet to start informing all who want to be educated. Great thanks to all the scientists, technicians, astronauts, everyone who build our telescopes and statisticians who created this magnificent gift of an app that everyone should purchase and for every child to contemplate.

Exoplanet offers the option to zoom out further and see the Galaxy Clusters and CMB for $0.99. However, I’ve made that purchase 3 times now. The transaction went through, I was charged each time but the upgrade was never delivered. Anytime I zoom out, it’s still asking me if I want to upgrade.
$.99 is nothing to worry about and I would even pay for Exoplanet if it wasn’t free. However, you should fix that issue because otherwise it can be taken as deceptive.
I liked Exoplanet but that upgrade issue gives me pause.

It's an incredible app. I feel like a jerk not giving it five stars. But I bought the updates and they didn't carry over through my Apple account from my iPad to my iPhone for one, and I'm also dubious about how often and whether or not it updates the database. Every time I read about a new this app or system I look it up on Exoplanet and only find it about half the time. That being said, it is hands-down my favorite app of all time.

Exoplanet is made by a scientist. It’s precise, clean and ad free. A lot of information regularly updated. Catalog is simple to use, full of information and easy to setup. 3D view is absolutely awesome, you can travel across the galaxy and visit all discovered exoplanets, solar system and even space probes leaving solar system. Perfect to learn and to teach. Add-ons are cheap and wonderful too. Thank you Mr Rein for Exoplanet.
