Description

Meet the most engaging way to explore the Universe we live in. Solar Walk Ads+ is an impressive wealth of information about our Solar system presented as a 3D model that can be rotated and zoomed easily. *** Over 6 million users!*** *** National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA) - GOLD winner in the Educational Tools for Parents and Children category! *** *** A Parents’ Choice Gold Award Winner *** “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 With Solar Walk Ads+ you will be able to: • Observe the 3D model of our Solar system with all objects in real time and in a proper orientation. Turn into an astronomer and explore planets, moons, satellites, asteroids, dwarf planets, comets, stars and other celestial bodies. Enjoy gorgeous graphics and visuals while navigating through the Solar system. • Travel in time and see what the Universe and our Solar system looked like at a certain period. • Find an exciting view of the Milky Way Galaxy. • Watch a collection of educational solar system movies to learn about space-related topics including moon phases, Earth's cycles, tidal phenomena, and zodiacal constellations.* • Enjoy a 3D planetarium with the help of special glasses after activating the anaglyph mode. • Make virtual flights from one space object to another. • Share interesting screenshots of the app with your friends. • Choose the view mode comfortable for you (orrery/true-to-scale). *Available through In-App Purchases. In-App Purchases will not remove ads from the app. Solar Walk Ads+ is a great educational tool appropriate for both adults and children. The amount of information users can learn about the planets, moons, satellites and other celestial bodies is impressive. Information is detailed and animated video clips make learning our Solar system even more engaging. Start your fascinating journey through the realms of space with Solar Walk Ads+!

    So it glitches every time I open the app. Thats all i'm goin to say. Screen turns black, takes me to the lock screen, and for those who don't know what a lock screen is, it is where you do your passcode. (I know this stuff cause i'm the daughter of an apple enployee).

  • Pretty but seemingly not too educational.

    For transparency sake I have only bought “the earth cycles” for a dollar but it doesn’t even go through earth orbital cycles, it goes through a really cool video of only the ORBIT!!! Not Aphelion, Perihelion, Axial Tilt and precession or anything else. It seems impossible to find any good educational apps that have more than the basic boring facts like distance, weight etc of a planet. SPEND MORE TIME ON MAKING APPS MORE DEEPLY EDUCATIONAL! This is still just pretty stuff, it looks very good but where is the actual educational value. From this single purchase I am hesitant to pay for more. Design something accurate and educational where people can see and adjust the rotations, orbits, tilts and precessions and how all that connects for the earth, moon and the planets so people can actually learn. ITS TIME FOR APP DEVELOPERS TO GET MORE SERIOUS ABOUT ACTUAL EDUCATION, people like me would pay quite a bit if a truly educational app that visual looked like this was ever available. Apps need to evolve past infotainment, a few facts and figures and pretty graphics.
  • Words cut off

    When reading, the words are cut off on the right side with no adjustment available. Can this be fixed?
  • Need more space!

    This is very interesting about our galaxy, but it would be better if you could have more stars outside of this galaxy. There must be some other galaxies other than this one!
