planetarian 〜ちいさなほしのゆめ〜 App Reviews

Hoping for some more titles from Key to be translated soon :)

Not one of Keys best works, but that is hardly a fair criticism. Certainly worth more than a few dollars, and as emotionally evocative as always. However, the English translation is sloppy. Typos are far too frequent for a professional work, and some of the phrasing is awkward: even the title should be written as "Dream of a Little Star", which shows that the quality checking is inferior and the only reason I docked a star.

As a matter of fact, I have never written a review for any app until I came upon this one. If you have grown tired of playing Candy Crush, Doodle Jump and Temple Run, then I definitely recommend you try this game(its more like a novel actually).it has great pictures and soundtracks. The story is sad yet it strikes a cord in my heart. Most importantly, the character development is amazing!!! Two hours into the game, Im already in love with the female protagonist. Last but not least, I rate and comment the game at my own will, not that any one invited or asked me to do it.

Very nice and touching story

Thanks for the update.

Amazing story!!! An excellent app at a very reasonable price. Everyone just has to read this. You wont regret it! A very emotive story with beautiful graphics and music. I am very impressed that Visual Arts released this official English translation. I hope this is just the first of many official translations to come. Will definitely keep supporting any future releases.

A Heart-wrenchingly beautiful story itself couldnt be any better. Plus, graphics and music are more than satisfactory. To my regret, there are many errors left in the english text. For example, in Chapter 12, the follwing sentence should end with " the speed of sonic" rather than just "the speed." "He possessed the ability to fire various shells with insulated coating over long distances faster than the speed."

The anime is gonna have 5 eps and I just couldnt wait any longer. This visual novel made everything better, all of the detail and translation are perfect. The background music,the characters, and the music. Another masterpiece from Key

Cant believe that Planetarian has officially been released in English. Thank you!!! <3 Key

So great to see a translated English visual novel. Looks and runs great.

Thank you so much for releasing this in English! The story was very touching. The art and music was very well composed as expected from any Key release. The surreal and mysterious atmosphere and mood is very much characteristic of your works. I hope to see more of Keys works in English in the future.

I thought I was dreaming seeing a Key visual novel being translated into English. This is a great story and would LOVE to see more VNs in the future.

Bought this immediately when I found out it was released. Not just a visual novel translated to English, but an official translation of a Key novel? Hopefully this hints at future translations. As for an actual review, this is a short story, a few hours long. Its simple, but very emotional.

I bought this as soon as I saw it was available. This is an incredible visual novel and one that certainly shouldnt be missed. I look forward to future English releases from Key!

Bought within a few minutes of hearing this was out. Thank you for doing this. Just a little FYI… If you guys translate Clannad or Little Busters Id pay up to $50 for them on here. ;)

Im very excited to see a Key visual novel translated and sold on mobile devices. Hopefully this bodes well for future translations of other visual novels to both phones and computers. Support programs like this if you want to see more like them! The visual novel itself, while short, is just what you would expect from Key. An emotional story paired with fantastic music and great characters. Recommended to fans of visual novels and anime!

As many of the previous reviews stated, I too bought this as soon as I heard Key released an official translation. And I must say it was absolutely worth it! The story it self is somewhat predictable but makes up with excellent execution. The game offers no choices like other usual light novels and is pretty straight forward. I do hope key will continue with this and translate Clannad and Little Busters. Thanks Key!

A great story- would definitely like to see more in English...

Even though Im about halfway done with this game on my PC, I purchased this as soon as I found out there was an English version. I hope more of your VNs are translated to English. Thank you for the wonderful game though, made even more beautiful with retina graphics!

This kinetic novel (similar to a visual novel, but with no player choices) is very well done. You will have to fiddle with some options, but you can change the size of everything within the novel to make it as readable as possible. It has an excellent story, one that is often recommended to those who have never played the genre, and is worth a play-through regardless of your feelings about "anime" (the story stands on its own merits without the graphics). It had no bugs that I was aware of, and other than a few odd translations, was pretty much flawless for an iPhone kinetic novel.
