I now know that if I had a desktop I’d be able to look at the moon and mars so I feel really gypped now. Overall really great concept but what I’m gathering from other reviews, the app particularly for iPad is super low quality compared to others. It is absolutely impossible to tell one country/state from the next with the impossibly thin tan line separating everything that, oh yea, is the same color that is used for most of the landscape.

Also, it would be really enjoyable (and easier on my old lady eyes) to be able to make borders bold or different colors or even cut out a region to view it individually. You can’t adjust any type of visual settings so if you zoom too far in on, say, China, you get a million different location names in English and Chinese and you can’t even see the land under all the text.

I am terrible at geography and thought this would help me with a class I’m taking but I was mistaken. It’s like they took what they were in the process of developing years ago and just threw it up without even looking at it for a quick review.

It takes a lot of disappointment for me to write reviews but this app is just so flat. Google Earth has captured approximately 98% of the globe and there's an estimated 10 million miles of Street View photos to help you explore.Not Even Basic App Comforts (2020 iPad Pro) And if the earth seems fairly limited, an update to the mobile version of Google Earth from earlier this year lets you pull back to 30,000 miles above the earth to see some of the surrounding stars. It's a great way to explore without leaving home. Voyager allows you to get more out of Google Earth by taking you on guided tours of points of interest as well as other countries and cultures. If you want, you choose to share stories with others, which can come in handy for class projects or presentations. You're able to upload your own photos and videos to the site to add meaning and details to locations. Google Earth for iOS and iPhone: iOS App Storeīesides a view of nearly the entire world pieced together from satellites and Google Street view images - which in itself is pretty cool - Google Earth features some other functionality as well.

The mobile version syncs up with any info you've stored on the desktop version so you can look at the same places regardless of device. As for mobile devices, you can also get a global view by downloading Google Earth for either Android or iOS.
