## Description

Have you ever imagine how it looks like if the earth were transparent?

You could see the other side of the world under your foot.
It might be a fantastic landscape, with mirror-reversed continents and oceans. 
You would also realize that eastern countries are not in "east", or western countries arenot in "west" as you had thought of.

TransparentEarth enables you to see-through the earth. 
Camera overlay view shows the position of major cities on the reversed blue marble.

Discover and explore the another face of the world.

NOTES 
- Works only on iOS4.0 or higher.
- TransparentEarth is for entertainment purposes only. The compass accuracy may be reduced when you use it close to metalic objects or electric equipment.

## Review summary

Reviewers consistently praise the app's concept and the engaging, perspective-changing view of the globe, noting it as fun, educational, and a good value. However, recurring issues center on accuracy and reliability: auto-location can be wrong, results shift with device tilt, and there are limited features (no zoom, few options). Several comments also urge updates and bug fixes. Overall, a strong, imaginative idea with real potential that is currently hampered by inconsistent geolocation and limited interactivity.

### Pros

- Fun to use and provides a fresh perspective of the opposite side of the Earth.
- Educational and helps you understand geography and global orientation.
- Innovative, unique concept that makes the world feel three-dimensional.
- Appeals to travelers and geography enthusiasts; entertaining and engaging.
- Good value for money / affordable at about a dollar.

### Cons

- Location detection is unreliable, often placing you in the wrong country.
- Limited features and options; lacks zoom or deeper interactivity.
- Needs updates and bug fixes; performance can be inconsistent.
- Tilt and device orientation can cause misplacement near poles like Antarctica.
- Some users question overall accuracy and consistency.
