Distant Suns 5

Distant Suns for iPad are simply a real and smooth running tool for getting skyview data on the fly during backyard astronomy nights. Yummy userinterface and plenty of background info - Also I'm still awed by the compass-option. This is real augmented reality software. Thanks for providing:)

If you are even slightly interested in the stars i strongly recommend this app. It gives you the best experience of all apps for the iPhone. I am not quite sure whether the extra money from version 2 to 3 is worth it for everybody. I am not easily impressed, but this app really nails it. The best there is.

Distant Suns, is fantastic. Fast elegant interface. The spaceship feature where you can fly out to the planets and watch the moons orbit in 3d is great for demonstrating orbits. I like the ability to zoom in and see the current position of Jupiters moons and to scroll time forward after locking on Jupiter to predict future events with the Gallean moons. I highly recommend this app.

Virkelig god applikation. Har kendt produktet siden den første pc version.

I’ve been using Distant Suns since the Amiga days. Still my go-to app for star gazing.

Although I am very much signed in to iCloud the application will not recognize that and as a result won't sync properly. Crashes after toggling permissions in settings. This becomes permanent. After uninstalling and reinstalling the application no longer presents anything but a blackscreen after the tutorial is finished. This is perhaps what others are running into as well. iPad Pro 12.9" 5th Gen. iOS 15.5 This is super disappointing, but I understand your best. We had DS on Mac OS 7.5 in the 90s and it was largely responsible for my unending fascination with the cosmos. How do you look at the solar system or other objects from different angles? That was one of the best and most important features of the early Distant Sun Programs.

I have owned Distant Suns apps for many, many years. It used to be really awesome. In recent years I have had several problems with Distant Suns Max (Now Distant Suns 5, I guess). I have tried to contact the developer but never gotten a reply. Now it won’t even open on my iPad. It just crashes. I tried deleting the app and re-downloading; no change. I need to find another astronomy app. IPad Pro 10.5 inch, iPadOS 14.5.1

I first downloaded Distant Suns in 2008 for my iPhone 3G, and it was mind-blowing. I’ve been using it on and off since then. However, the app has become nearly unusable lately. It doesn’t start off in AR/compass mode, and tapping on a constellation or a star simply doesn’t work anymore. I couldn’t even use it on Sirius! Developer, please update and fix this app so it works properly on the latest version of iOS.

Heard about this app from a friend and bought it immediately. I can only get it to work on my iPhone four. Will not work with my iPhone 11 🤷🏻‍♀️

Won’t load. Crashes on startup.
