planetarian 〜ちいさなほしのゆめ〜 App Reviews

As soon as I found out that this had been released, I jumped for joy and hurriedly bought it! This novel holds a special place in my heart. I remember buying the PC version and reading it years ago. I cried multiple times tears of sadness and joy. Im glad to say that I still feel the same, if not more emotion, since then with this release! (Probably due to the vocal talent ;)) Good job on the translation! It flows smoothly with just a few bumps here and there. I hope that this is the start of seeing more releases from your vast library translated into English. ^^ And if anyone is reading this to get an idea of if they should buy this, I highly recommend it! Come and experience the dream of a little star shining in the darkness.

As someone who has purchased multiple platforms of planetarian, and numerous merchandises, I am still amazed that it has finally given an official English release. Being what I consider one of Keys greatest work, it is good to know that more people can experience this wonderful story. Hopefully this will be a good first step in having planetarian translated into more language, and more of Keys works being localize as well.

Their superb writing in all of their works never fail to relay an important message, Planetarian is no exception. Although there were small grammar mistakes here and there, they didnt deter me from grasping the story. Im also quite happy Key themselves released an English patch, heres a hoping that more Westerners will appreciate Keys works. :)

I bought this novel immediately after hearing it was officially released in English. Overall, it was a great read, if not for the translation mistakes. Would love to see more games from Key available officially.

Key is a master at making stories. Thats all I have to say. If you are into Visual Novels then this is a must have. And with a first time English localization that is awesome! Lets hope Key releases some of there other legends from there collection; Clannad, Kanon, and Little Busters! Cant wait to see whats next!

Priced even at $3.99, planetarian ~dream of a little star is a worthwhile purchase for any visual novel fan. With an official English translation by Visual Arts, it is worth it just to support the developers. The app itself is very well made. Its stable, snappy, and universal, meaning your purchase is valid for all iOS devices. The way they developed the UI is very nice and out of the way. The bottom left button rewinds your progress. Top right button opens the menu for settings, bookmarks, contents, etc. Tapping on the conversation box progresses the story. Playing on the iPad version does let you see more of the original art. On the iPhone version (obviously, because of the smaller screen resolution) Yumemi is cut off from her waist down. There isnt anything new from the original PC version. All original Japanese voices for Yumemi Hoshino (Keiko Suzuki) and the Junk Hunter (Daisuke Ono) were preserved. As for the actual visual novel, it is relatively short, but what it lacks in length it makes up for in quality. The story is fairly emotional and detailed. It is very refreshing and encouraging to see this visual novel make it to iOS with an English translation. Any chance for Keys work to get localized is a good thing. I hope more visual novels, not just from VA/Key, make it to iOS and other mobile platforms. Buy this app, you wont be disappointed, and tell your friends about it too!

Definitely worth a try

Wonderful, thoughtful, and beautiful. I hope this is a sign of more visual novels being more readily available in the App store.

Key Visual Artss Planetarian is moving, emotional, and touching. Only Key Visual can do this. Planetarian was so very much enjoyable and heart-warming. I hope that they will continue to do this in the future with translated Visual Novels. This was by far, the best $3.99 Ive ever spent.

It made me cry.. planetarian is such a moving story with beautiful graphics and music, plus there is English too and the interface is simply great.

I love anime and manga, so when this came out in English, it was a no brainer. The story is great and the voices bring you into the story. I really wanted to hug yumemi so much while reading this.

Being a fan of Clannad, Angel Beats, and Kanon; I wanted to give this a try because of how well this company writes their stories. This story was absolutely magnificent and truly phenomenal. Would recommend to everyone!

The west loves this stuff!! I wish we get more translated VNs like Clannad, Tomoyo After, Little Busters, Kanon, Rewrite and new ones! They are just so amazing! Bring more to the west please!

I have read many KEY stories, and Planetarian definitely lives up to the KEY label! Its a short story with only two main characters, but its full of emotion. I laughed, smiled, and eventually cried at the end. The voice acting is superb as well. This is a great price for such a great story, and I highly recommend it!

Its about time that Key releases an English version of their incredible Visual Novels! This is another great story and Im glad its finally in English and on iOS! I seriously thought this day would never come. Key please for your 15th, rerelease all of your other classics in English and on iOS! Even Mac would be great too! Please translate Kanon, Air, Clannad, Tomoyo After.. And so on! We love this stuff out here! So please start bringing them to the west! And lastly, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that we would like to see a Tomoyo After anime! Clannad anime was amazing (in fact, all of your animes were amazing) and wed like to see Tomoyo after done the same way! Thank you and keep up the good work!

I was so excited to see an official release of a Visual Novel here on the iOS App Store! Especially a game by Key! This is a fantastic read, and a truly amazing experience. Thank you! Im trying to spread the news about this port! I hope that you will continue to release more games on iOS!

This novel is absolutely amazing, and has only helped solidify the fact that this is one of the best app store purchases Ive made. If Kanon and Air were released in English on iOS, Id have no choice but to buy them as well. Key has absolutely outdone themselves.

A simply amazing visual novel. Very tear jerking! Would recommend this to others. Worth every cent!

Good official translation. Please support so they can release Air, Kanon and Clannad

Most impressed with the voice and language option. Wish air Kanon Lb Ss and rewrite extras had voice too. Air and Kanon are all age versions so why not have voice just like the ps versions? The app size seems fine with voice.
