Nearly Flawless!

If this isn't the most amazing wallpaper app out there, I don't know what is! The appearance of it is so serene and pleasing, and the settings I find satisfying. It is great to start my computer with a moving image of the solar system with an array of ambient music/sounds in the background. The only complaint is that the asteroid belt doesn't look as realistic or serene as the planets themselves, but for an app like this, it's understandable. Other than that, AWESOME.

I absolutely loved it until...

This app worked perfectly for roughly two days. The app froze up and when I restarted it I realized that the entire top half and the bottom right quarter of the screen was frozen and the bottom left quarter displayed part of the spinning solar system that was not connected to the other three quarters of the screen. To simplify that, the only part of the screen wsith a spinning solar system is the bottom left quarter of the screen. I have tried changing multiple settings, deleted and re-downloaded the app multiple times, and sent several emails to their app support email but have recieved no reply. I waited a full week for a reply but after silence from the app creators I decided to try this platform prior to giving up.

If you contact me with a solution I will change my 1 star raiting back to a 5. If you continue to ignore me, the raitimng will remain at 1 star. Thank you.

Fun talking-piece.

I'm middle school science teacher and absolutely love this app. Not only can I teach the planets with some basic information, but I can also talk about and show the lunar cycle! I would like an option under preferences where I can disable the camera movement. Every mouse click changes the angle, which isn't a big deal, but having the ability to disable would be fantastic.

Great overall app. Well-made and authors should consider creating science apps for multiple areas: plate tectonics, such as, plate movement, boundary interactions; creating atoms with subatomic particles; so much more you all can do.

Thanks for this, from an astronomy-lovin' nerd.

**NOTE** to the previous reviewer, and as mentioned by others previously, the circle in your menu bar at the top is the options menu for the app. Again, as another said, the black donut. Hope this helps, it sure helped me.

Also, if your animation stops and your using macbook, make sure you're plugged in or that you haven't selected "disable the animation when battery is in use".
