Great app!
I've been using Distant Suns since its first release on the Amiga some 20 years ago. If you want to travel through the solar system then this app is a must have! Thanks to its original creator Mike!

Description
Distant Suns: The night sky, reimagined.
2013 finalist in the Family category of TabTimes' best tablet app contest;
"I am putting together some mobile astronomy apps for our local "Sky's the Limit" Observatory in Twentynine Palms, CA. I have been searching for something as good as, or better than, Distant Suns. Short answer: I have not found it yet. ...nothing portrays the night sky as well as Distant Suns.
Distant Suns has been your personal guide to the cosmos since 1985. First on the desktop, now right in your hands. While others play games, you can travel to the stars.
Award-winning Distant Suns has the reputation of both having one of the most realistic displays of the night sky, while being one of the easiest to use astronomy apps for casual sky watchers as well as serious astronomers.

Distance sun
Trè utile
Super
Vraiment une appli sympa ! Facile à maîtriser et super bien faite! Je recommande sans hésiter ! Seul petit bémol, les événements ne sont visibles que pour les gens habitant aux États Unis.
Vraiment super
L'appli est simple à utiliser ; à peine téléchargée j'ai réussi à la maîtriser, de plus un tutoriel est à disposition. Plein d'options sont disponibles, afin de savoir qu'est-ce qu'on désire voir ou ne pas voir. Vraiment une super application, fonctionnant partout donc sans wifi. Ça vaut vraiment le coup. Nb : même s'il est en anglais, le tutoriel aide grandement, pas la peine d'être bilingue.
Simply a must
Started watching the sky with this app. Easy to use and lot of info !
Un cinq étoiles pourquoi .....
..... Tout simplement pour s'imaginer se grattant la barbe comme un Hubert Reeves et de contempler ces milliard de soleils qui ont un nom et devant les enfants émerveillés par la voûte céleste on a l'air moins cons nous les grands.... Et aussi de dire que cette application est un merveilleux moyen de faire des voyages interstellaires sans se déplacer.
Distants suns ne démarre pas
Depuis la dernière mise à jour, ce logiciel ne démarre pas et retourne au menu iPad au bout de quelques secondes. Ceci concerne tous les produits similaires. Produit nul, à éviter, vous allez payer pour rien !!!
