## Description

Solar System Sim is a browser-based gravity sandbox that lets you explore almost every moon and planet, and even visit nearby stars. See their location in the Milky Way and observe how gravity shapes their motion.

You can modify the solar system by changing existing bodies or adding new ones, and the simulation recalculates orbits in real time according to Newton's laws.

## Review summary

Reviewers praise Solar System Sim for its deep, feature-rich simulation and strong customization, suitable for visualizing space projects. However, pervasive ads, laggy performance, and weaker physics/graphics compared with Universe Sandbox hinder the experience. Bugs and crashes are frequent, and there are numerous requests for new content (painting, astronauts, editors, more stars/nebulae). The app shows great potential and appeal to space enthusiasts, but needs stability, better monetization handling, and feature expansion to fully realize its promise.

### Pros

- Feature-rich, Universe Sandbox-like depth
- Strong customization options (custom solar systems, colors, textures, rings)
- Visually detailed and good for visualizing space projects
- Overall positive sentiment and potential for growth

### Cons

- Excessive ads and intrusive ad behavior
- Laggy performance and frequent slowdowns
- Subpar physics and collisions compared to Universe Sandbox
- Bugs and crashes (freezes, glitches)
- Many users request additional features not yet implemented (painting feature, astronauts, editors, more stars/nebulae)
