Description: Gravity Compass is a mental massage. You enter a spectacular universe where you fly through a gigantic system of caves. Otherworldly galaxies are everywhere to view in wonder. Sometimes when you look at a galaxy, the NovaWake composed music transforms, and the galaxies signal you with excited illuminations. There are no handheld controllers to encumber your experience. Your flight is gentle and relaxing because NovaWake Smooth Drive makes flying responsive yet comfortable. Be careful to remember any appointments you may have. Because, some people find Gravity Compass so relaxing, that they do not want to leave. A thirty-minute flight can seem to go by in a moment.

Review: If your idea of relaxation is floating slowly through space to some peaceful music Gravity Compass is the experience for you. But sadly that is about all it offers! Its 30 mins of slowly floating through space and very little changes along the way. But it is relaxing? Yeah! It really is, but there are many other relaxation experience apps that offer far more visually and most of them are free!

Don’t get me wrong, this app does what it needs to do, but it does nothing else besides it. But at least it is cheap so you can give it a go and not feel so bad if you don’t like it. Personally, I enjoyed it, but I did wish there was a lot more to it but in terms of graphics, music and the type of experience.
