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."

Customer Reviews

Has trouble inverted... (4 stars)
As long as you are scanning the horizon it works fine. If you raise it up it tends to switch to landscape mode and interrupts the app with a popup message. Disabling landscape mode fixes this.

Nice app (5 stars)
It easy to fined planet by camera in real time.

User (4 stars)
Very easy to use and well designed application. Great value. Like the ability to change from observing planets to stars while on camera screen. Highly recommend. Would like more data to show up on the selected info screens.
