Orrery

Tiptop

Orrery is just lovely. It’s designed for the perspective on our solar system, but I find I relax almost meditatively while watching this, and the appropriate ethereal music is a treat.

I love this app, which for a moment reminds us and invite us to zoom out into the solar system. I’d love to know the artist of the musical piece; I simply find it quite soothing..

Very happy to see this app updated for IOS 11 compatibility. Quote fun and beautifully engrossing to open and play around with the intuitive controls. The ability with a few nudges to see current positions of planets from different points of view (and in time) make this one of my favorite apps. Love it!

Do not install this version on 6s with iOS 11, it crashes every time.

Absolutely lovely visuals. Such a thoughtful and educational app. As another reviewer noted, it's what the iPad was made for. The warnings however, keep coming. The next iOS upgrade will most unfortunately antiquate your tremendous resource. Please don't let your obvious hard work go by the wayside.

Gorgeous! A few slight usability issues (dragging to select a time span, trying to get back to the full view after zooming in on a planet), but the beauty of this app more than makes up for them. Fascinating and informative.

This is pretty, but the touch controls are more annoying than I have ever encountered. You can drag around the orrery, but when you release your finger it just keeps going. It seems like the designer is going for some kind of calming aesthetic effect, but the result induces stress when trying to navigate.

crashes during long high speed projections on 4s. Also you can't set the date beyond 2038. Avoid this and keep your sanity.

Lovely mechanics and visuals, clean interface, very informative.
