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 it's 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."

Not bad but can get so much better.

Easy to find stars and planets, not really sure about its accuracy as far as elevation and azimuth are concerned, if the developper or any user has any feedback on that would be greately appreciated. The constellations are not displayed properly on the finder view, you can only have a static picture of how they look like and the finder view just gets you close to where the whole constellation is, you can't know which specific star's position is being used for guidance, this makes the app look a bit "cheap". The camera view will work once, the second time you try to find an object the camera view will not function and you need to restart app to get it working again, hoping for a bug fix soon. It would be SO nice to have a little box displaying your current gps position and compass heading at the same screen where the planets or stars azimuth and elevation are displayed (for those of us who have that sweet sailor's nostalgia,old sailors will understand what I'm talking about). Overall seems like a helpful but not very well thought out application. Hoping for more with updates.
