Review summary

Users appreciate the creative and educational concept of 'Talking Planets,' where celestial bodies are personified to teach astronomy interactively. The app offers a variety of planets and moons to engage with, which some find enjoyable. However, multiple users report significant issues with speech recognition and chatbot responses, making the app frequently unresponsive or unable to answer basic questions. Technical glitches, including app crashes and navigation problems, also diminish the user experience. Overall, while the idea is promising, current execution leaves much to be improved for better usability and educational value.

Pros

Innovative concept of personifying planets to provide information in an engaging, interactive manner.
Educational intent to teach astronomy in a fun way through conversations with celestial bodies.
Good variety of planetary characters to interact with, including planets and moons.
Some users find it enjoyable and recommend it despite issues.

Cons

The app frequently fails to understand or respond to user questions properly, often replying with 'sorry I missed that' or similar messages.
Speech recognition and chatbot functionality are unreliable; many users report that planets don't talk or respond at all.
Technical problems cause app crashes and slow responses, reducing usability.
Navigation issues when trying to switch between planets; sometimes the same planet repeats without change.
Limited or inaccurate answering of factual questions about planets.

2024-12-29	Em*****	It can't answer very basic question's, it couldn't answer about how long it takes to go around the sun, the type of surface the planet has, or what type of planet it was, ie gas/ice. Every question, but 1 was answered with the bot saying, "What was that?" "One more time?" "Sorry I missed that." The most educational answer we got from it was "yes, I am a planet." Then the app crashed. My child quickly got annoyed with it. It's ashame because it's a great idea, but currently it doesn't work.
