Wow. If like me you enjoy educational videos, I've watch almost 100 online/DVD college courses so I'm a freak, and getting to view things you will ever see in real life, then this is an app for you. Touring the solar system in your own private spaceship is flatout fun and you learn a lot too. The planets and moons are well modeled and spring to life before your eyes. The universe is somewhat scrunched for effect, but it works. Otherwise the scale seems right and it is awe inspiring to see Jupiter fill up your screen. To me modeled videos tend to work better than most shot in the real world videos and this certainly takes advantage of the medium.
The narration is good and has lots of solid information. Each planet/moon stop has a couple info slides and pictures you can access from your ship's controls. Speaking of the ship it is nicely done in a simple and unobtrusive way. It isn't the way George Lucas would do it, all together yell 'NNNNOOOO', but it works very well for the app. In the somewhat dicey world of 1000 GO VR apps of which 100 are worth trying, this stands out as a great reason to own a GO.
