This product has become family fav for us! It is so well-made - nice color, texture, lots of details, and a solid heavy feel unlike the flimsy plastic products you may see in the toy store. We love it for the educational factor too. My kids really enjoy using the app to interact with it and explore the Earth in AR - it is like a globe with tons of interactive pictures and videos built into it. I'm consider buying another one as a gift (I think it can suit children ages 8-15).
Suggestion to the manufacturer: would love to see ongoing updates to the software to include more pictures/videos for the AR interactions! Thanks for the amazing product!

low-quality and incorrect paintwork, not as advertised
Kudos:1. The AR layer offers a lot of description and photos of the terrains on the moon, which is very cool to explore.2. The model has a good texture, which feels great to hold in your hands.Issues:1. The paintwork ruins everything. AstroReality marketed this as "The Most Precisely Made Moon Model" that has "unparalleled scientific accuracy." The item in their photos and video shows incredible details and variation of colors and patterns. The one held by their founder and in the demo video has lost some details, but it is still acceptable. However, the items I received are like a joke. Many areas are just carelessly and aggressively covered by a dark color, and those patterns don't even have a similar shape as the one they showed in their photos.2. They said that each model was hand painted by their "most experienced" artists and has 98% modeling accuracy. How should I interpret this statement? Shouldn't this mean your artists will do a better job than machines? If not, why don't you design a paint system to make sure the quality of each product meets your ad's description and claims. If the item is just merely a low-quality mass production product, why do you even mention this at all? Meanwhile, I even found that some terrains were incorrectly painted on the model (or forgot to mark).3. I was super excited to know this project on IndieGoGo. Clearly the product they delivered is a low-quality mass production item and has nothing to do with craftsmanship. But they charge it for $238. Given its quality, it is unreasonably expensive.4. The AR experience is not so good. You need to move your photo closer to the model to see some details of the photos, but the app requires a certain distance from the model to work. Thus, the app kind of needs to rescan the model very frequently. You have to hold the phone very stable to make sure the AR layer appears on your model while turning it around.

what a crafted product. I really love how all the details I can see on this lunar model. My girlfriend gave it to me as a gift for Valentine’s Day, I really like it. Especially I can use AR app to find out more infomation about moon. Highly recommend this to school teacher and astronomy enthusiasts. It also can be a good decoration to put in my apartment.
