Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I like this very much, it is very different from the usual run-of-the-mill screensavers that are out there. Part of the joy of it is looking forward to the next day's picture. I especially like the text that comes with the picture: informative and interesting.
Good start!

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Despite what some people might say (and I think their credibility is obvious based on the intellectual level of their post), this is a pretty good screen saver. It could use a little tweaking, but I figure that is true of every "0.1" release that is out there. What I'd like to see is when the APOD image is not a very good resolution, just keep it in it's smaller form with a black background. If you wanted to get fancy, you could even use that goofy Ken Burns effect so that it moves a little on the screen. Oh, also... when it comes to screen savers, I think a white text on black background is favorable to the black on white. Other than those small couple of things, good job!
