Planets Hack 5.0 + Redeem Codes

I would say that this app is very easy to use. It has a very simple concept and it works very well for iOS users. However, I believe that the graphics could be better they seem a little underdeveloped. I do like the fact that if you click the plants it tells you when they are visible and gives a array of facts on the planets. In that feature is so nice that I wish they did the same for the constellations. I feel as if the globe feature is also underdeveloped’ if they could include some information on the globe tab than it would be great.

I was tired of seeing expensive apps, huge downloads and apps with trial ware that promised me the moon but delivered a paywall or were extremely large downloads. I love this app. It was easy to setup as it knew my location, time zone and even got my compass orientation instantly to tell me which planets I was seeing. I love the “visibility” tab to quickly check when they are visible and the “unaided eye” setting which was on by default so I knew exactly what I was looking at. For example, Venus was just about to set right after sunset, and there were two other bright planets then the moon, but I wasn’t 100% sure which ones. Instantly I moved my phone up to the heavens and saw that it was Jupiter and Saturn, then of course the moon, following Venus. Even the phase of the moon was shown. Nicely done!!

This is a great app for me! Because space has always been a big part of me! I can look at constellations planets and read all about them too! I recommend this app to everyone. If space isn’t really your thing, I understand. But now I know the names to many constellations and this can be a great tool if your using your telescope to see what constellation your looking at. And to also see when the full moon is out! I mean you could see it with the naked eye but who doesn’t want to see the moon through a telescope!? You could see the craters on the moon and I experienced that. I seen the half moon through that telescope but without using the app but anyway it’s great! Good day or night👋🏾

5:30 am noticed a bright light on my porch - when I went out to investigate I realized it was the full moon. I was surprised to see 3 bright stars to the right of the moon since such a bright moon might obliterate other stars in the sky. I remembered reading about the alignment of the planets.
When I came inside to check the “ Planets” ap on my phone I found out I was looking at other constellations in the southern sky. Too bad the planet alignment was obliterated by trees - wish I had gone to the beach to see it since the beach is a ten minute drive from our house! Thank you for this wonderful Ap. What a treat to see the moon & stars when waking up to get a glass of water!

Tonight my friend and I were admiring a particularly bright celestial object. “I wish I knew what it is,” said she. “I can tell you!” I enthused. I pulled out my trusty Planets app, pointed it at the planet in question, and we immediately had our answer. (Mars.) This app does exactly what I want it to - tells me what I’m looking at. (It would be cool if you could tap on individual stars and find out their names, and if you could adjust the “visible” selection on a sliding scale to account for light pollution. I can only see a dozen or fewer stars and planets in our big city. But I still like knowing what they are.$

This app has more features than I was expecting and they are great. The different features include Sky 2D, Sky 3D, Visibility, Globe, and options, where you can modify parts of the app to accommodate your use of it, and make it specific to you. The accurate and useful information is easy to access with the easy tabs at the bottom of the screen. The app uses the motion of your phone to create a 3D view of space. Further, in each planet is given its own description, where details are very specific and informative. There is nothing I would add!

Everyone around wants this app when I open it up. Whether it be camping, hanging with friends or family, or just sitting on the porch swing with the wife I’m always the center of attention for adults and kids alike when I pull out the phone and start with the interesting facts and the cool visual modes this app offers. The night sky has become fun and intriguing again now that I know what I’m looking at and I have some information to go with it. I would recommend this to anyone young, old, and anywhere in between!!!

This is not acurate, the planets are not in the place where they really are in the sky. I know this because at around 8:00 P.M I had gone outside and looked in the sky with the tele scope I got for Christmas . The apps star walk and solar walk are awesome and actually show a lot more than this . They show that in the actual apps the planets are in the right spots. It said on here that the moon was right above me in the sky but that was wrong . I just got in my house and the moon hadn’t been in the sky above me. All the planets were also wrong, the only planets in the sky are Uranus and I can’t even see that because it’s so down. App not good and doesn’t have right things. Please make this app better and more educational and get ideas from other apps and videos thank you and please MAKE IT BETTER . Sincerely Mystery cat

I’ve been using this app since my first iPhone (3G) 11 years ago and it’s been the best, most dependable app I’ve used for identifying planetary placement and constellations, period. It has an incredibly simple interface, but it’s SO dependable and on point. And it’s FREE.

I absolutely love the Planets app. I always have it in my favorites, and use it constantly. It’s the first app I recommend to family and friends. Highly dependable and highly recommended. A+ in every way.

Thank you so much the the developer, it’s beautiful!

I teach astronomy to students of all ages thru Minneapolis Community Education.
Planets is my favorite app for introducing people with a moderate interest in learning the easy and showy part of astronomy. Enjoying the sky without a big commitment or a steep learning curve.

Also, without buying a telescope or traveling to dark skies. The five classical planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are bright enough to see within the city and suburbs despite light pollution.

Everything in astronomy is better from a dark sky in a rural location. “Planets” makes it fun even if you live within a city.

The app is beautiful. Planets are shown with exaggerated size and details as though seen thru a telescope. Instantly rewarding for the first time viewer.

If you get hooked on astronomy, if you want to go deeper, download Stellarium or Stellarium Pro. Especially good on a desktop or laptop.
