Beschreibung

A breakthrough electronic book about our Solar System, offering hours of interactive exploration and presenting a treasure trove of visual information.
Bestselling author Marcus Chown leads us on a grand tour through the incredible diversity of planets, moons, asteroids, comets and spacecraft that surround the Sun in our cosmic backyard. Illuminating his insightful and surprising text are a wealth of beautiful 3D objects, movies, images, animations, and diagrams, all fully interactive, richly detailed and accurately based on real scientific data.
Set the heavens in motion in an interactive orrery that allows you to control the orbits of the moons and planets, observing them from any viewpoint with breath-taking surface detail. View the latest imagery returned by both manned and robot spacecraft, beautifully presented on the iPad screen. Then double-tap any astronomical object to jump directly to its chapter in the interactive book.
Solar System for iPad is brought to you by RGB (creators of The Elements) and Faber & Faber (London’s greatest independent publisher). It raises the bar yet again on what an interactive book can be. A perfect gift for anyone with an iPad: Solar System allows the imagination to roam free from Mercury to Pluto and beyond.

Solar System for iPad Bewertungen

Not that great UI, great idea

Kalliban on

Schweden

The UI quality isn't quite what you'd expect from an app that cost as much as this one does. Many buttons look like they could easily have migrated from an old Winamp skin. I like the solar system view but again, some controls would need redesigning to make them really useful. The Leonardo app is much nicer; clearly touchpress has the ability to do great apps.

Bra interaktiv bok om solsystemet

Hasse Eastman on

Schweden

105 kr kan tyckas lite mycket, men vad får man betala för en motsvarande fysisk bok? Jag tycker det finns ett mervärde i denna app vilket gör den väl värd pengarna. Min son älskar den!

Good, but to expansive...

www.echad.se on

Schweden

Overall it is a nice app, but in my mind a bit overpriced considering other alternatives... And why is the moon so dark and why the "low" resolution of it? Why not show Cydonia and the face mars.... And why the "low" resolution on Mars as well? I hope there is an joxats coming.

Needs imagery update

Milkyway100kly on

I like this app. It’s really nice, the layout is wonderful, it’s easy to use. I was so excited when I finally saw an update for this app. However, none of the imagery was updated. Pluto is still pre-New Horizon’s picture. We have so many beautiful images of Jupiter now with the Juno spacecraft as well as many other bodies in our solar system. For the price, this app should be updated regularly to keep up with the information. Wanted to use it for teaching but unfortunately I can get better images off the web. Would give it five stars if there is a major imagery update.

Disappointing imagery

Keolumike on

Vereinigte Staaten

However great the data in this app the imagery is so 10 years ago. Poorly spent money.

Amazing but where’s Eris and makemake

Lng1982&@ on

Vereinigte Staaten

Cool but where’s eris and makemake I guess there in Oort Cloud

Needs major update!!

Rad Robb 74 on

Vereinigte Staaten

I’ve had this app since it came out and they are horrible!! For updating data. Better apps for wayyy cheaper. Look at Pluto!!

Nice, but needs an update

CountSut on

Vereinigte Staaten

For the price, this app really needs new content. I would expect information and imagery from New Horizons, Rosetta, Dawn, and possibly Juno. The lack of new content at a $10 price point makes me feel ripped off. That said, I found the layout great. With more up to date content, this would be an easy 5 stars.

Needs An Update

Jerry Applehed on

Vereinigte Staaten

I like this app, but it’s in severe need of an update.

Freezes constantly

Oinmartini on

Vereinigte Staaten

So this freezes constantly, and I mean constantly. It doesn't run for more than visualizing one or two planets. I have deleted and reloaded it multiple times without a fix. When it does work, it is completely silent, even the song. I assume they're supposed be some sound here. I'm not running it on old machine, this is an iPad Pro. As others have mentioned, there is been no new content added for probably 10 months (judging from the dull yellow/brown fuzzball they use as a model for Pluto). This wasn't exactly cheap as apps go, certainly not in the same league as Elements for quality. I would get my money back if I can figure out how.
