Unable to make it work

The app says move the phone around in circles until it detects a horizontal surface. No amount of moving the phone in circles fulfills the detection process. The help button gives information about the spacecraft but no information about the detection process.

Just one error

Take a look at the InSight lander. The arm is looking weird… The arm is upside down. Can you please fix this very unexpected model glitch? Otherwise the AR app is a good way to pretend to place a 10 ton item on your siblings.

From a very good fan

No Camera Access

I had the same experience as Clancy W, only on an iPad Air 2 running OS 12.4. I was never prompted for camera access and it’s not an option in settings. I also tried reinstalling the app. Also, there’s no spacecraft to choose from under the Earth section.
NASA’s Spacecraft 3D is a great alternative. It works on every device I’ve ever tried it on (and I tried a lot since I work in a planetarium) and offers many of the same models.
