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)

2026-08-22 00***** Look, good game, I like the physics and all, I just have one problem, when I open the game, it crashes, I haven't had this problem before, FYI, I have 70 gigs of free storage, so it's not storage, I've deleted and reinstalled it already, nothing else is open, is there a fix to this?

2026-08-21 Fw***** So in solar system simulator they called ceres an asteroid but Sedna a dwarf planet even though ceres is a dwarf planet and Sedna is a candidate so they need to fix that and how when you spawn an asteroid in a custom system it’s alway got life and all the planets they let you spawn are Rockies so why not add a gas giant button

2026-08-17 Yo***** This game is actually fun! Whenever I’m bored, I just go on this app and mess around. A problem I have is that every 3-5 minutes or so an ad pops up. It’s annoying, so by any chance are you able to reduce the ads? Overall, this game cures my boredom

2026-08-14 Hu***** I gave it four stars bc there isn’t much options gas giant collisions are like rocky collisions and there’s not even a gas giant option so yeah and you can’t like draw your own continents

2026-08-09 Su***** I was skeptical about the game at first but now it’s amazing but can you add natural disasters after impact like earthquakes or fast winds and and add smoke to planets without any atmosphere when a and object hits and add the humans or creatures but a super amazing game

2026-08-08 Sp***** I have a suggestion for asteroids like if they enter the atmosphere they should start glowing to make it more realistic, it would also make cooler when your on the ground. One more suggestion is that if a planet, asteroid, comet etc, hit a planet it should a a flash of flight for a second if your close enough obviously. Also make it that you can turn them off or on in settings. Anyways these would be amazing features in my opinion and I would love them to be added one day!
