[2012-07-17] Suzanne: Great app, high quality, lots of fun, very informative |
|
[2012-07-11] ToMe: To select the small widget and have a new and literally "awesome" wallpaper to wake up to every morning...dude. |
|
[2012-07-11] Terry: I really like the idea But not too hip to the implementation.I downloaded the app and received some cool pictures for display but they all went to my gallery instead of my wallpaper folder.Then they couldn't be deleted normally even after I uninstalled the app.Bummer,I would have liked to have had this,the pictures were great. |
|
[2012-07-10] Jjr: New to me yet! I just downloaded it. Looks really cool! I always check the "permissions"....from what I saw, this is a fairly "safe" one! Gonna buy it!!! :) |
|
[2012-07-10] Brandi: Cant get enough The most interesting and at times breathtaking wallpaper ever |
|
[2012-07-06] Regina: I love it. |
|
[2012-07-03] Selena: Great Love the app, great info on the actual pics which is great. Only gave 4 stars as I wish the images were a bit sharper, worthy of NASA in the 21st century.. but still awesome. |
|
[2012-07-03] Kyle: Great app I love this. I get a fresh background daily. These pictures are top notch. Rarely has problems. |
|
[2012-07-03] Stephen: Beloved website comes to mobile So glad this long time favorite web page iS available for mobile! Lost 1 sltar because the images are somewhat cropped on my samsung galaxy tab.mobile display, but you can click through to the web version of any daily image. A must have for amateur astronomy and sky image fans. |
|
[2012-06-29] Estefania: Love! I have been using this app for almost a year. I recently changed phones and this was the first app I installed! I love it because I can wake up every morning to a new picture and astronomy is a major passion of mine. I can save the pictures I really like to my SD card. Thanks for keeping this app updated! |
|
[2012-06-28] Jared: Pictures get cut off Most of the pictures are cut off and the only way to see the full picture is to download it. |
|
[2012-06-27] Jared: Good, not great The pictures themselves are fantastic! But slight problem with formatting, it clips the edges of the pictures off, so you can't view the beautiful pictures! Also caches all pictures, good if you are looking at the same pictures all the time, but not so great when you're just viewing each picture once a day or so. Easy to use and tablet friendly! Fix the formatting and this would be the perfect astronomy app on the market!! |
|
[2012-06-24] cr: Would be great... If it didnt download every single image you view to you gallery! There is no need whatsoever to automatically save all images, just browse them and let us save them if we want to. Just had to spend ages deleting hundreds of photos! Fix this and you have a 5 star app |
|
[2012-06-17] the 6/19/2012 APOD Love these amazing pics I get with this app. |
|
[2012-06-14] André Prata: What about the lock screen? This app is very good, but I'm not rating 5 stars until it supports setting the lock screen wallpaper as well! =) |
|
[2012-06-12] DeeJay: Space is beyond its limits I use it as the Live Wallpaper for my Asus Transformer TF101. Works like a charm! |
|
[2012-06-09] Dan: Fantastic! |
|
[2012-06-07] Tim: Sweet Great pics!! |
|
[2012-06-07] Moses: Purely Amazing application as well as the photos, it will blow you away! |
|
[2012-06-07] Arthur: Great idea but... The automatic wallpaper change doesn't seem to work on Sense roms. Shame because I really want this feature. |
|
[2012-06-02] Fazulka: Really great app I get a wonderful new background every day at 5 am, and learn something from the descriptions. |
|
[2012-06-01] Anthony: Awesome One of my favorite apps. A must have |
|
[2012-05-31] Kristy: APOD Awesome website = Awesome App! |
|
[2012-05-25] Ulf: Wonderful Sometimes hangs with a blank screen and requires restarting the app. Otherwise wonderful! |

[2012-05-23] Phoenix: Amazing A great picture every day. I love reading about a new picture each day. *... |
|
[2012-05-19] Areeb: Zoom on pics Awesome app, fifth star is for when you can zoom in / move across a pic without having to download it |
|
[2012-05-18] Noelle: Amazing This is my favorite app! Thank you! |
|
[2012-05-06] J rock: Amazing app. great variety of pictures and excellent write ups. |
|
[2012-05-01] Anonymous: Tbone Fuckin awsome! |
|
[2012-04-24] Sarah: Beautiful and easy This app is very easy to use. I've followed APOD for years, but the chance to have it at my fingertips and to easily use its amazing photos as my Droid's wallpaper with just a touch made both the site and my phone that much better. (Alcatel OneTouch 908s) |
|
[2012-04-13] jose: Ray bob Love it |
|
[2012-04-11] jerlyn isah: Love it universe is woderfuL . Like it ! |
|
[2012-04-09] grant: Amazing pictures, wonderful information I am so pleased with this app and use it every morning. It has a great feature which allows you to automatically set any photo you like as your wallpaper. Every day is exciting because I get to see and learn about new astral phenomenons! |
|
[2012-04-04] Patti: Astronomy POD Fabulous shots. Great conversation starter for kid. |
|
[2012-04-04] Jonathan: Neat, but... I like this app a lot and its presentation, however, there are a few things which bother me. When you open a photo you cannot scroll to view the full pic unless you open it in another app. I also always catch this app opening in the background. I have notifications turned off and seeing as how it's just an occasional photo viewing app I see no reason for background polling. What is it doing? I realize this is a bit of paranoia, but it really bothers me when apps do this. |
|
[2012-04-01] Elias: Nothing better! Excellent to have APOD on my phone! It changes my wallpaper everyday. |
|
[2012-03-28] Carl: Fantastic! Endlessly fascinating, a real treat for astronomy fans! |
|
[2012-03-27] Steve: Nice Beautiful pics, better than the rest, thanks :-) |
|
[2012-03-26] William: NICE!! This is a win. That's all that needs to be said. |
|
[2012-03-26] Alex: LOVE this app. Very nice and easy way to see the APod, and I also like the fact it'll change my background picture to the latest shots from NASA. Fresh home screen every day. |
|
[2012-03-24] J: Great app for apod enthusiasts Auto set wallpaper feature is the killer feature of this app! |
|
[2012-03-23] Adrian: Fantastic Daily wallpaper feature is excellent |
|
[2012-03-23] yomeriux: Awesome! Will not change for another wallpaper. This stays for ever!!! |
|
[2012-03-22] Pat: Awesome It's not just all space but these pics are, well...AWESOME! |
|
[2012-03-21] K.: Awesome I Love this app! Every now and again a pic won't download, but it is still one of my favorite apps. |
|
[2012-03-21] Cat: Love it! Now I can see these amazing photos on my mobile. |
|
[2012-03-21] Handy: Awesome app Works great on global GSM gnex. Cool pictures. |
|
[2012-03-11] Alec: love this app |
|
[2012-03-09] Tinithraviel: ..hh I love it. If only I could use something like wallpaper wizardii to set pics automatically. I cant ever see complete picture:( |
|
[2012-03-08] ShamanicShift: Stopped updating... on my Pantech Element and wouldn't load latest picture even when requested manually. Also it would not set wallpaper on my Samsung Galaxy 2 phone, but did update OK. Therefore, I uninstalled this on the tablet, but after a day I'm reinstalling because I liked it when it worked, so I'll try it again and wait a while for a fix. |
|
[2012-03-08] Risy: Nice! The Pics are an absolute treat. |
|
[2012-03-02] Opus: Gallery? Really? I was so upset that NASA'S APOD had no viable way to get their photos in my inbox, so this app excited me. However, on the DELL Streak for Android, everytime you marked to ONLY cache the photos to your SD card, it would overwrite your gallery images anyway. WTH?? I had specific gallery images there for a reason, so had to uninstall, sadly. Please rectify this overwriting bug and I will download again in heartbeat. |
|
[2012-02-29] Steve: Doesn't Update on RAZR Would be nice to actually view the pics rather than the thumbnail. |
|
[2012-02-27] Paul: Doesn't auto update on Samsung Exhibit II 4G |
|
[2012-02-25] Che: My Favorite App!!! Every time I flash a new ROM this is the first app I restore. Every new device I get it's the first app installed. Thank you APOD!!! |
|
[2012-02-24] Amy: Absolutely LOVE it! ~ htc evo 3d |
|
[2012-02-22] Aaron: Great concept. I love a beautiful, static background that changes daily. Most pictures are lovely, though some are clunkers. |
|
[2012-02-18] Deanna: Fantastic! The picture quality is amazing! I love using my newest favourite picture to have as my background. Likely my favorite app that I've ever downloaded! |
|
[2012-02-17] Chelsea: Outer space Everything is so Beautiful Out hear |
|
[2012-02-16] Dennis: Great app! The only issue I have is the pic's information button in the upper right of the app doesn't show when the app is launched from the pic of the day notification. Either you have to launch it from the app drawer icon or switch to a different pic and then back to the pic of the day to see it. |
|
[2012-02-15] Jim: Used to be good. Since the last update pictures no longer auto set as wallpaper. Emailed developer but no response. HTC EVO 4G. |
|
[2012-02-15] Kenneth: . It's great but pics still auto save to my phone even though i have that option turned off |
|
[2012-02-15] Mike: Just what I've been looking for Updates sometimes break the widget but the app is free and looks great! |
|
[2012-02-15] jameslg2169: Great but a couple bugs Awesome app but since most recent update, checking the information of the picture shows nothing but a white box with a couple of the underlined words on the description. Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 |
|
[2012-02-10] Rachel: Man, i loved this app until it nearly bricked my phone. Beware. If NASA uploads a non-JPEG you could get hosed. |
|
[2012-02-10] Arief: Great app! Just installed and I'm impressed. It's easy to navigate with simple UI. Thank you. |
|
[2012-02-08] Anshul: Great app! I have a habit of setting APOD pics as my wallpaper on my pc everyday anyway, its great that they made this app so I can do it on my phone. |
|
[2012-02-08] Ali: Wtf Why do alot of the pictures no longer work or take forever to load. I liked the old interface alot better. Driodx |
|
[2012-02-06] Adam: Awesome. Better than nasa Awesome. I feel so awestruck every time i look at the images. Just knowing that every atom in my body at one time or another was part of those celestial bodies blows my mind. Great app. |
|
[2012-02-01] Reegen: Pretty I love the pictures. |
|
[2012-01-30] scott: Well recomended |
|
[2012-01-30] Rachel: Rachel Better looking. Good app |
|
[2012-01-27] omz: Nice Like the darker, celestial pics I can use for wallpapers.. just hate the cropping. but that isn't from the app I think that is an android issue eh? Otherwise, this app is pretty good for space escapists. |
|
[2012-01-26] Avaren: Fantastically beautiful app Easily one of the best designed for tablets and phones out there, works flawlessly. |
|
[2012-01-26] jenny : Apod Favorite & most interesting app |
|
[2012-01-23] Ratmaninoff: ** Love this app dearly but lately it force closes frequently and does not auto set. When it fails to auto set it changes my background to a default. Moto Milestone CM7. |
|
[2012-01-22] George: Doesn't auto set wp on Droid razr I love this app, worked great on my original moto droid, but it doesn't update or set wallpaper correctly on my new Droid razr. |
|
[2012-01-20] Jaana: Great! Works great. The new widgets are just perfect! |
|
[2012-01-20] Robin: Outstanding app. Does exactly what it says and does it well. Will be purchasing. |
|
[2012-01-19] fred: Derfer If it had the archives it would get five stars. |
|
[2012-01-18] TL: APPS Don't Run Phone updated to latest version. Now, it shuts down on start/open. Worked fine before update. |
|
[2012-01-18] Krapong: Please fix Last update, Force close again, please fix. |
|
[2012-01-18] John: Force close! Updated, force closes when I try to view pics... AGAIN!!! Unistalling app of not fixed! |
|
[2012-01-18] Kevin: No constantly force closes |
|

|
[2012-01-18] Andy: Working again Thank you. HTC Desire |
|
[2012-01-18] Keith: Great Dev Dev was quick to respond to my emailed screenshot of the white web page for info view and got the problem fixed for my Galaxy Nexus. Love the app too. |
|
[2012-01-18] Chas: Much better after latest update Widgets work much better and so far it hasn't FC'd yet... Hats off to you, Sam, you've released a number of updates over the last couple of weeks and, for me at least, APOD has gone from buggy to unusable to working 100%, so far... Many thanks! |
|
[2012-01-17] jordan: Not working It didn't work yesterday due to it being a video of the day but today is a picture and it didn't work. |
|
[2012-01-17] the 1/17/2012 Not working. Seems to have stopped working since the last update, hopefully this will be fixed soon, coz I like getting my daily astro fix! |
|
[2012-01-14] Eric: Two words... love it |
|
[2012-01-14] Antony: Fantastic app. Love the photo along with the explanation. |
|
[2012-01-13] femto: Stopped working since the last update! The app shows that new images are available, but doesn't neither download or show them. Very sad story, going back to the previous version ... |
|
[2012-01-12] Josh: Widgets still not right The new 4x4 widget looks exactly the same as the new 4x2. The former 'large' widget, 4x3 picture & title, had trouble updating but appeared fine when it worked; bring it back & fix it. Samsung Captivate |
|
[2012-01-12] BIGPAPI: Beautiful pics I love the pics. Makes u Marvel at Jehovahs awesome creative power |
|
[2012-01-11] Mandip: Auto updates, large widget gone. Not updating since last update, and why was the large widget removed??? Would otherwise be 5 stars, bring back the large widget please! |
|
[2012-01-09] Joe: Grrr Love it would give it 5 stars but lately it has not auto downloading pics to card. :( |
|
[2012-01-08] Nadeem: Great!! Love the new update! |
|
[2011-03-07] Alone: Good |
|
[2011-03-06] doug: Nice pics but they rarely update. The descriptions do but 50% of the time the pics don't. |
