Galactica was written in early 2009 and is likely to be removed from the App Store as it falls into obsolescence. Written as a homage to the iPhone and inspired by Star Trek title sequences and Hubble space telescope images, Galactica asks you to steer your own journey through its unique interactive experience.

"Galactica is the sort of app that wouldn’t been seen dead on a Blackberry. The sort of app that the iPhone was made for. The sort of app that makes you wonder how anyone can ever settle for less than an iPhone."

Pros and cons of Galactica app for iPhone and iPad

Galactica app good for

Mesmorizing and enchanting. Much more value than a pack of gum. Do yourself a favour and buy this!

Its great but needs more types of particles, and perhaps some solid objects like asteroids, that sit still and particles bounce off. Still fun, just needs more!

This app got me through a bad acid trip and many loney nights its absoluty great

This app is very pleasing visually, has great relaxing music tracks, and is fun with the interactivity involved. This app is defidently worth much more than what you pay. Would love more tracks if they ever update the app.

Perfect app. Relaxing. Beautiful. Music is fantastic. Where I can buy it? Grafical design is fantastic too. Together they make this app perfect. P.S. I would pay 100$ for music. Really. Its the best Ive heard. And a rather 100$ for app. Its like a portal in another world - world of space. I love Star Wars and Mass Effect for this. P.S.S. Sorry for my English - Im not from USA or England.

The music and visuals are both breathtakingly beautiful and surreal. The simple controls allow believeable but unpredictable changes in the visuals, making it a borderline transcendent experience. After just moments of running the app, I feel transported from my promlems and synched with something much more universal and primal. Thank you.

Some bad moments

Its usless! One picture, I thought it would have nice Hubble type pics. NOPE. So yeah, uh all you stoners enjoy!

Ya sure whoopdi- freekin- do. You can control a few specks on a screen if you want to do that, get spawn illuminati HD its way cooler. For how large of an app this is you cant do anything on it bordom sets in after about two minutes. I would not waste my 99 cents on it if I were u.

No settings, cant change the background cant change colors. For a dollar you can get a lot better particle app. I feel really ripped off.
