Reviews
- Sanderson - I have dabbled with astronomy for 30 years, star maps, celestial co-ordinates, Patrick moores year book but this app renders them all obsolete. It makes locating stars and planets Childs play!
- I am amazed! - I love this app! It does exactly as promised. Got a telescope for Christmas and hated not know what I was looking at or where to find what I wanted to look at. This app made stargazing a million times better for me and my kids!
- I was thrilled when the cross hairs appeared on screen and guided me to the planet that I had selected from the list. And that was only the free app! I highly recommend this app for anyone who is curious about the stars above. Well worth the purchase I say.
- Tech at its best! - Awesome program. Any astronomer knows the computational power needed for these algorithms. And the iPhone sensors are up to the task. Unique. Buy it.
