Review: While it does have to be said that ‘Homestar VR: Special Edition’ is ridiculously overpriced it is still far better than any planetarium I’ve visited. With a world map to see the night sky anywhere and indeed anywhen and them 4 main planetarium shows to watch and enjoy, then, if all that wasn’t enough you get some beautiful environments to sit back and enjoy the night sky in. While these relaxing places are nice it is the educational element that truly makes this app worth buying, but only if it was going to be used in an educational setting. The average Joe like myself was never going to find value for money here which doesn’t put me off recommending it still, but it is something you really need to take into account.
