Exoplanet Hunter

About this app

We live in one of the most exciting times ever, hundreds of exoplanets has been found. An extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, is a planet outside our Solar System. Even planets very similar to our own Earth have been confirmed which raises questions about the existence of extraterrestrial life.

The purpose of the application is to give the user a comprehensive and accurate overview over discovered exoplanets. Planethunter is fetching new data from an JSON API and displays easy to read information pages for all found planets and its stars. The application shows an 3D simulation of each solar system. You can search for the planets locations in the sky by using GPS and the phones sensors.

This application comes with great search features that will make it easy to find interesting and potentially habitable planets.

Ratings and reviews

It's alright. It's has lots of planets to explore but it doesn't actually show you or tell you what they look like/colour. I recommend using it if u need a bit of info but maybe not something to use all the time

Most screens were blank or crashed the app. Not much infomation in the listings either. The Exoplanets app for iPhone is phenomenal. This one.. ahhh no.

Very cool app. Would like to see more of a galaxy map with planets plotted out and a dictionary for those unfamiliar with some terms.
