iOS & iPadOS
Premium available through the App Store. Restore Purchases must be user-initiated (Apple's rule), so press the Restore button after reinstalling on a new device.
The full list. Free covers the complete real-time globe; Premium adds live cloud imagery, monthly seasonal textures, per-country time zones, and the simulation shuttle.
Every row here corresponds to a real feature in the app. There's nothing aspirational on this list — if it's here, you can use it.

Same app, same features, same look. A few small things are platform-specific by necessity.
Premium available through the App Store. Restore Purchases must be user-initiated (Apple's rule), so press the Restore button after reinstalling on a new device.
Premium available through Google Play. The app quietly reconciles entitlements in the background, so you usually don't need to press Restore manually.
The complete free experience runs on desktop. Premium isn't currently sold through desktop builds; pair the same Apple or Google account on a mobile device if you want Premium today.
