About Earth-Now

NASA's Earth Now is an application that visualizes recent global climate data from Earth Science satellites, including surface air temperature, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, and water vapor as well as gravity and sea level variations. Data sets are visually described using "false color" maps. Color-coded legends are provided to indicate relative strength or weakness of an environmental condition. The resulting 3D model of the Earth may be rotated by a single finger stroke, and may also be zoomed in or out by pinching 2 fingers. It was developed by the Earth Science Communications and Visualization Technology Applications and Development Teams at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with support from NASA Headquarters.

Dragging to scroll up or down on pages or to rotate the globe are very slow and not so responsive. Ive noticed this on several devices. I do like this app for lots of other reasons.

Among other flaws, there is no option to change units to metric. Making such an option improves the app a great deal. In my opinion anyone who still uses imperial units should move on and switch to the metric system.

Scrolling in the globe gets laggy but i like how we can even see the satellites in 3d but it would be more amazing if u could add other satellites like the ISS.

Apps screen info., is slightly beyound the tabs display. The App doesnt have an Exit button; while trying to end the app. Back button doesnt work (I have to open "Recent Apps" button just to exit).

Really cool how you can see earth as weather conditions always changing and especially the information on the satellites keep it up JPL

we need to learn about the things we cannot see with the naked eye, specially about the things that affect our quality of life on the planet

I do agree with the other review which commented on base-line info. It takes another source of info before it really becomes clear how screwed we are. Also it could use some updates with look and feel, as well as more compiled data-sets, which we all know NASA has plenty of.. Looking forward 2 more updates ;)

All datasets appear to be lacking imagery data for both poles also some patches in vital signs data. Any reason why we are unable to see complete images of Antarctica or the Artic circle

Very interesting app but this is Android not IOS. When we hit the back button in Android it should exit the app. If you are going to release an Android app you need to use programmers that at least know the basics of Android. And I really do mean basics. This has obviously been ported from IOS by someone incompetent.

Good app, pretty cool actually. No way to exit though without hitting the home screen. Also with temperatures would be nice if you could switch to celcius.

by Y####:

Scrolling and zooming is unusually slow. There also doesn't seem to be a setting to use the metric system (I'm not used to temperatures in Fahrenheit).

Needs to support landscape view. Can't see anything when clicking on vital signs... other than that, I love it. Allot of potential. Update with landscape and I'll give five stars,

NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab provides the public useful, at-a-glance, objective data on the physical state of the planet. Sadly, the news isn't good – but it's never been more timely, or more urgently needed, as political corporatocracies wage systematic siege war on the environmental sciences (and on the global environment itself). Thank you, JPL – this is a grand slam, world-class app. Keep it coming!

Really like the App but there was now way to quit, end or stop the app other than shutting my phone off. Please fix this or put a menu on the app to quit.

A bunch of 15-year-old app savvy kids can make this app, the way it is now! It doesn't need a massive and ingenious scientific organization like NASA to create an app which only shows raw data in cute little colours, like children's coloured pencil drawings! When a thinking person looks at this, they wonder, "what are the base levels for comparison"?!!! How much CO2, and CO is considered a safe concentration for humans? We cannot begin to understand and evaluate this without base/safe ranges!

This is a really cool and really informative app. I'd love to see some sort of homescreen widget version of this, even if it's just something like a 1x1-icon with a feed of user-selected information. There's a lot of cool potential in this!

Slow, in my opinion it should be very accurate so if there was national emergency we would be able to better protect ourselves. From harm in advance.

The UI takes some getting used to, as the app appears to be optimized for tablet use, but it provides useful and up-to-date information on the point-by-point status of our planet. Well done as always, JPL!

It is not Working with android 5.1. Able to open the app but no options to check the other information. Earlier i was able to check the co2 temp etc.

This could be so much more, if it had baselines or something thing like annual norms

Feels nice to see rather than opening laptop every time. And plotting.. We can get a glimpse of earth and different parameters. Add AOD and some more variables with some kind off snapshot to zoom in and click for certain region would be very amazing and handy..
