An amazing application - fly through the clouds
This is an amazing application. I can only guess how they did it, they did it so well. The premise is simple and so is the app, and its done beautifully. Fly through the clouds, and you can actually change the angle that youre flying (to a limited, but pretty good degree). Its not a video, its realtime, and there are day, evening and night modes. Studio-Kura are a genius for being able to make this app. The speed control is a great idea, I love that you can fly backwards too. But I often find it hard to slide the speed control. Perhaps the touch of the speed control could be improved. Also, a few idea for future versions I would love to see: Please auto-hide the info "i" in the bottom right corner after a few seconds, that would be great. Touching the bottom right corner will still activate the info menu, the icon will just be hidden. Ive seen other apps do this, and its great. Please add more times for different looks. I love the three modes you have now, and Im sure you could make some more good ones! Also, in night mode, the clouds looks a bit plain compared to the other two modes. The darker parts should be darker and they should be tinged with a bit of the moonlight. Using the "touch" method on the view, I find its not sensitive enough. It takes me too many swipes of my finger to make it go as far as I want. It would be great if I could change the view a lot further with each swipe. This would make it more smooth to fly around. Lastly, is there any chance to make it so you can actually completely freely choose your direction? No limit on where you are flying. That would leave me speechless! This is a great application at a great price! It is really worth the price. Highly recommended.
A couple quick additions. It would be good to have a bit more variation in the clouds, a longer cycle before the clouds repeat. Also, I would love to see more apps from this company. A similar concept to this one, but flying through space, would be awesome. Or underwater. Or in any environment really.
