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.

Readability at daytime

Nice program with a lot of facts. But needs better readability at daytime Blue on black is hard for an old man, even with a magnifying glass!

Perfect

I love this app!

Bra!!

Om den är riktig är det den bästa appen som finns..!!!

Must have for skywatchers

This was one of the first apps I bought for the iPhone, and it has improved with every new version. The iPad version is one level up of course, because of the larger screen, and the interface is very very nice. *The* star/planet software to get for iOS.

Super!

Perfekt referens.

Brilliant

Improves on the already great version 2. I have nothing to complain about. Works great, looks great, and has every feature I can think of. If you are any interested in astronomy at all this app is a must have.
