Packed with content
Great app packed with content, but the compass feature is not working for me. Also, there is a bug that makes the app continually ask for permission to use the gps when you first open it.

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.

Nice
But Star Walk is 'cleaner' (screen less cluttered) and easier to use on iPhone. Distant Suns is good on my Kindle Fire.
面白い！
女性陣との飲み会では凄く感動して貰えましたが アプリ名を聞かれただけで終わりましたヽ(；▽；)ノ 人生って、こんなもんです。
落ちます
バージョンアップしたところ落ちてしまいます。iOS を7.0.3にしたのが原因なのか、アプリをバージョンアップしたのが原因なのかわかりませんが。使えません。困ってます。不具合を修正して欲しいです。
バージョンアップしたら
落ちます。つかえなくなりました。
Crash in opening window
It isn't work new version .
とても便利！
月や星を入れた撮影に重宝しています。
言う事なし
夜空を見るのが好きな人には、最高のアプリではないでしょうか。
複雑過ぎるかも泣
ARで使う時は Pref Extras Twilightにレ点入れるといいよ とにかく難しい泣
素晴らしい。
グラフィックが美しい。思わず、自分が生まれた日時の星空を見上げてしまいました。少し高いけれど、それに見合うだけの機能と使いよさがあります。
