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.

Distant suns crashes while loading

Sloompie on

Can’t use the app. Crashes while loading. Some icloud setting. No time, 1/2 second, to read the error. Use Ipad pro 2020. For me useless app

Ok great but may i have 'simple' button?

I have been searching a long time to set the app to display the horizon. When i found it the south north hemisphere separation is very weak. I would like an easier navigation so to find a planet i am seeing. I know there are others out there but it must be very easy for you guys to implement. So simple to find horizon and compass and a bit larger planets.
