The star moves so fast when we put a star in a huge star and when it stops we cant put rocks.


We love this app and was introduced to it through the "Space" section in the nature and science museum here in Colorado. We are a 14 year old science freak and almost started a line to play Planet Families in the museum. We love this app and everything about it and it would be a great way to teach a class. We see that you have updated the game like so and we are so excited!!! Thank you so much!!


Yah its good for the makings its our dream.


Make a moon orbit the planet and size changer and also planetary collisions.


It is now this is awesome but can you make it so you can zoom out infinite.


We llllllllllllllove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This app is really great for understanding how gravity works, you can even add Suns to influence the pull of gravity, which we liked. But that’s really all it does. We expected to be able to explore each planet and understand how their distance from the sun affected the length of their days, years, and how it influenced the planet’s gravitational pull. We became bored very quickly, but it wasn’t a terrible app.
