This app is very nice, I gave it the 5 stars because there are a lot of celestial objects you can choose from, but I am gonna ask a question how does the Star Names setting works, and if I set that setting to All and them when I visit a star how can I see all of the star names? Thank you!

As a science astronomy lover, I loved this game so much, when I first open the game I thought it was just information about the stars and planets but nooo, I could walk on planets, fly to one and land on it, literally this is one of my favorite game ever

As a space lover I naturally liked this game, this game is super accurate. So accurate that I think I found out I have melinoheliophobia (fear of black holes). There are only two problems I've seen in my relatively short amount of time playing this game and that it can be laggy, I am on a lower end phone so it's to be expected. The last problem is I COULDENT FLY INTO THE SUN. Fun, educational, and really cool visuals and a really good time.
