It's currently #32 on the U.S. App Store list of Top Free Educational Apps, and going up. That translates into hundreds (maybe thousands) of downloads! If things work out, I hope to keep it free indefinitely, as an educational outreach. There are a few things that could go wrong with that plan which are beyond my control, so I'm not making any promises. If you download the app, your positive (by which I mean five-star) reviews will help me keep it free. Just thought you'd like to know. Mike

Mike, honestly the only thing I've ever wanted to do with Mars Globe or Moon Globe that I can't do at present is to quickly go to a particular date. (Date and time, actually, but once you're at the date it is super easy to use the slider to get the time you want; it's navigating to a date beyond a few weeks in the past that's a hassle.) -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
