Nice way to explore Mars, makes me want to see more, but some room for improvement
This app provides a nice way to explore features on the surface on Mars. It make me curious and want to see more.
Probably I am spoiled by Google Earth: I wanted to zoom in further, and have a 'street view' from the surface.
The builders cannot be blamed for the fact that this is not possible yet.
One thing too improve: the movement of the virtual globe can be a bit better synchronized with the drag motion of your finger. When you are maximally zoomed in, the bevavour seems to be very sensitive.
Conclusion: a very nice introductionnto teh surface of Mars, making me want to see more.
