“Simply amazing.” - Macworld
“Solar Walk serves up a visually impressive 3D model of our solar system. Set against a haunting, atmospheric soundscape, the app shows planets and satellites in their correct positions, and offers mini movies, facts and other related tidbits.” - TNW
“This jaw-dropping app provides a wholly interactive 3D model of our solar system, one that’s had me hooked for days. It’s the kind of thing you can imagine a science teacher using in the classroom of the future — except that we don’t have to wait.” - CNet
“Zoom from Mercury to Pluto (which makes the cut in this app), passing each planet’s moons along the way. Because Solar Walk knows what time it is, the planets are in proper orientation to the Sun: Earth is dark where it is currently night and gradually lightens to daytime on the other side.” - NY Times
"It's great for showing my students the relative positions of the planets in the solar system, the satellites orbiting the Earth and our place in the galaxy. Awesome with a smartboard as well." - by jbrown61

Frozen and doesn’t work
I’d like a refund for the app because it is completely frozen on the opening page and doesn’t move past the title. I’ve restarted my phone many times and closed every other app. Poor design and quality and doesn’t match the price either.
Excellent!
The detail is fantastic!
Unstable on iPad
Program crashes after watching videos or missions, need to uninstall to restart app, not great!
What has gone wrong. This used to be so good.
This app simply will not start on my iPad Air (5) I have deleted the app and reinstalled for it to run only once and then it just will not restart. It hangs on the opening screen playing the sound track. That’s it.
So disappointing. I loved this app.
Solar System
If you want to know the Solar System get this app!
Can’t tell I’m based in Europe
Keep notifying about events only observable in US. Tried to sort it out but couldn’t
Films
I wanted to watch the size comparison and it doesn’t let me!! I paid money for this but it does not work 😢
Sky walked
It’s real thing
Quality
Absolutely amazing
Confused
Why when I have multiple solar walk apps are the in app purchases not available across all your apps or amalgamated into a super app, you appear to be making money by making people pay for the same in app purchasers across the board, buyers beware☹️
