Review summary

Most reviewers praise The Planetary Society app for education and community: it’s a solid space-learning hub, connects members, and provides updates, live events, and cross-device access. The biggest recurring drawbacks are login friction and sign-in failures, plus concerns about pricing and lack of a free tier. A few mentions privacy or support concerns, but those are less common. Overall the app is valuable for members but could improve onboarding and affordability.

Pros

Educational content about space/universe
Strong community and member connectivity
Reliable, well-organized app that keeps you informed
Works across Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) with good compatibility
Access to live events and timely notifications

Cons

Sign-in/login issues and friction (redirects to web login, login failures, inability to log in)
No free tier / pricing model limits access for some users

2026-03-18	K9*****	This has nothing to do with the planetary Society itself. Says my computer is out of date they should be able to make it work with anything. I can’t keep updating my computer just for this app. I guess I will have to cancel everything I do with a society anymore and just go to their webpage.

2025-06-15	Jo*****	One of the best apps ever honestly it’s like Facebook or LinkedIn for planetary science it’s chucked full of education, entertainment, and information. I never ever have to worry about being lied to on this app.

2025-03-24	Do*****	Doesn’t remember login credentials. No option to use biometrics. No ability to hide online status. While the app is shiny, it lacks these basics.

2025-03-20	En*****	I have been using this app for quite a while and not only is it versatile in the myriad ways that it helps me stay informed and in touch with The Planetary Society, it is also very well organized and has worked without fail in all the ways I need it to work. In addition, the organization is an incredible one to be a member of. For anyone that has any interest in Space Exploration I highly recommend both this app and becoming a member of The Planetary Society.

2024-09-17	To*****	Also BORING . I’ve been a contributor since 1990 and used to LOVE my planetary magazine and subscription. This app is terrible, and now I can’t even sign into it and there is NO help. Thanks for nothing !
