What's It About?

COSMOLANDER - MISSIONS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM allows kids to explore and learn about the solar system. It fosters intergalactic discovery by providing information about the sun and each planet, including information about their structure, satellites, dimensions, climate, interesting facts, and journeys and discoveries. The main description of the sun and each planet is read aloud when voice and sound is on; however, all other information requires kids to read on their own. Under the "mission" subsection, kids are quizzed on planet-specific knowledge. Answering questions correctly allows them to dodge dangerous objects as they navigate towards their destination. The final part of the mission, which unlocks after kids pass the quiz, requires them to play a brief game. The launch page has a "parents' area" protected by a multiplication wall, which links grown-ups to other apps by the developer, social media, and information about Cosmolander – Missions in the Solar System. Under settings, users can control the app's language and turn sound, voice, and music on or off.

This visually captivating digital journey through the solar system will engage kids and challenge them through multiple modes. Cosmolander – Missions in the Solar System is a fun way to explore facts about the sun, planets, and the asteroid belt. There's no specific sequence to follow which lets kids have more control over how they play, and the multiple formats of quiz questions make them more fun. The missions are quirky and creative, which will definitely keep kids on their toes. They can even try their hand at the "mission" and the quiz before exploring planet-specific information. Information is presented in written and visual format, making it more accessible. But while the sound and voice options support young readers, they have their limits. The information and missions would be more accessible, regardless of reading ability, if the sound and voice options were applied to everything or if there was a tap-to-read feature. Also the games aren't "baked-in"; they're used as motivation and reward, which isn't ideal. Overall, Cosmolander – Missions in the Solar System is sure to provide an educational and engaging experience for kids interested in science, the planets, and intergalactic discoveries.
