I love this, I love exploring through space, I love all the details in it! It is like Space engine but for mobile (I guess). But there is this problem I'm facing, whenever I get to Night Sky and using the default control (the one you have to control by moving your phone) is stuck facing the North and South, I will be glad if you guys fix it. Overall, this is a great app!

Pretty much exactly what I've been looking for. I can't tell you how many other orrery apps I've downloaded that I ended up deleting. The nice thing about this is you can see the inner planets even when the solar system is zoomed all the way out. Basically the orbital scale is accurate, but the planets have been enlarged for visibility. The only thing I would add is an option to toggle on the names for the constellations in the background, and the ability to type in year rather than scroll.
