NASA’s HD iPad app is a fantastic creation, so it’s great to see the space people finally bring something to Android. But it’s not one of its most exciting creations, instead offering a mobile version of its NASA Spinoff portal.

If you can live with the app’s bizarre purple layout—inspired by the Crab Nebula?—there’s a good amount of content in here. A timeline of NASA innovations is good for boning up on what it’s been up to since it was founded in 1958, plus there’s a simple Google Maps tab showing where many NASA inventions can be found around you today. Plus there’s an occasionally updated news feed.
