Ratings and reviews

The app offers a wealth of information about planets, moons, and other celestial bodies in an engaging and interactive way. What sets it apart is the "talking" aspect. Each celestial body is personified and can provide information about itself, its characteristics, and its place in the universe in a fun and informative manner.

Astronomy app sounds like a fantastic and engaging way for people to learn about our solar system and its celestial bodies in an interactive and fun manner. Using chatbot-like planetary characters to provide information and answer questions is a creative approach to educating users about astronomy.

This app is so much fun! I tried to ask Jupiter a few questions about its Great Red Spot, but it didn't really understand me.
