Ratings and reviews

The most laughable part about the app is when you turn the ball earth so that the lit part faces you. Then you can possibly turn it for thousands of miles before you enter into the dark area. lol. The truth cannot be hidden. Even if the actual sizes of the continents were adjusted, day and night cannot be properly simulated on a ball. lol

This *WAS* one of my favourite apps. 2025-11-09 I was required to give a bewildering selection of permissions, so I shall uninstall the app as soon as I have finished entering this review.

add space probes/artificial objects, still a good app
