Is this app even relevant now? The earth hologram did show up on my mobile screen but I can't interact in any way, nothing is happening. I notice all the reviews are close to a year old so that's why I asked if it was no longer relevant. This was a gift to my son so I have no idea how old it is or anything. I can't find any instructions either.
Terrible it did not even work don't install this it is just a waste of space

One of the best apps I've EVER experienced. How can this stuff be free? Simply stunning. Outstanding work, guys. Thank you!
What a great app!! My favorite part is easily the new "ice" feature, very informative!
Its fun and you can find cool stuff on it
Its cool
Great for visualizing earth science data! Currently using with a cardboard Merge Cube, which can be a little hinky, but I've been told the foam cube is much better. Planning to pick one up soon.
