What's Up? Reviews
A nice app, but limited usefulness.
A nice app if all you want to know is what is up in the sky and roughly where it is. But there are better apps available, some of which are free. The graphics here are low resolution, which is somewhat annoying.
Simple yet elegant
Easy to use, very intuitive. Graphics could be sharper. Would like to be able to add other objects, not just planets.
Good start
A good start. Has potential. I have had problems with it not working as advertised, but app assistance was great. An update will likely correct shortcomings.
Terrible...
Why isn't this App part if Pocket Universe, it's pointless, the developer is obviously trying to boost poor sales of Pocket Universe and make a quick buck out of this app that doesn't really do anything, it doesn't even show you where the planets are, just says "it's up"! And you want people to PAY for this...? Make this free, that's all it's worth.. It doesn't do anything worth a cent...
Just what I expect from the maker of Pocket Universe
This app is wonderful and just as great as Pocket Universe. I really like it that it opens Pocket Universe when you tap on a planet. The only thing I don't like is that it is that the graphics are not retina-ready....yet.
Another great astronomy app
I have a big 10" dob and it a pain to drag it outside just to find out what I want to see is not there..this app just saved me years of back pain!! Thanks again CraigDesign!!!
Neat
Great app for quickly identifying what planets are visible, or will be visible at a certain time of day.
