Learn about missions that explore Earth, Mars, and beyond True-to-life and adjustable size interaction In-depth information about each space mission Camera functionality
Heartbroken
I was super excited to try this app out but whenever I select mission, the “select vehicle” section is just a black screen! Please fix this I don’t know how others were able to do it. The app looks cute and I’m heartbroken that it’s currently unusable😢 Also whenever I type in the code, it gets stuck on connecting Im begging you, please fix this! Tip: restart the app and it should load The camera is sometimes a bit blurry though
Just one error
Take a look at the InSight lander. The arm is looking weird… The arm is upside down. Can you please fix this very unexpected model glitch? Otherwise the AR app is a good way to pretend to place a 10 ton item on your siblings. From a very good fan
NASA
This is the best game ever just one thing can you please add new horizons in the game please?
Fun app
Absolutely great me and my bro follow the rover all over the house but I wish the rockets would actually launch. Otherwise it’s a great game!
Great free app
You do need a newer phone but it works smoothly and allows you to even take pictures of whatever satellite or rover you have chosen.
Must have a newer device to use
Your device has to support Google’s AR Core or Apple’s AR Kit. Otherwise it won’t work. If you have a newer device, this app is awesome. It’s really cool to put the rover in your living room or launch a rocket.
Does not work with all iPads but doesn’t tell you
It turns out my mini 4 is not supported because it doesn’t have ARkit, but the app neglects to check for that. It’s only when I ran another AR app that I git a pop up telling me that!
