8 of 25Love the point at the sky identify the stars feature. The user interface is slightly confusing, i am always getting stuck in some mode or the other.
This is the best app I have ever used for space. It is extremely accurate and I always know where things are in the sky! If I could rate above 5 stars I would!
the app itself works pretty good. tracking is decent, plenty of data. i wish the time slider was a little more intuitive. there isnt much support for comets or asteroids but thats ok. the bad thing that happened, is that the app has accessed my calendar and jam packed it with every single upcoming moon phase and astronomical event for the next 1000 years. this wouldn’t be so bad- in fact, it would be pretty neat- if it weren't for the fact that every event was added precisely FOURTEEN TIMES. my calendar is utterly filled with endless identical entries, thereby making it difficult to find other calendar events of mine. furthermore, even after revoking the apps access to the calendar and even deleting the app altogether, the redundant entries are still there. i would have to go along and delete them manually, one at a time- which would likely take several lifetimes. so, i will have to live with this and be content to be emphatically over informed about every single upcoming and passed astronomical event, for the rest of my natural lifespan
I use this app almost every night. It is so easy to use. Stargazing is even better when you know what you’re gazing at.
Exceptional Reliable Convenient I've had it since it's origin and haven't switched
See the planets and the moon
Awesome and beautiful; very accurate & instructive. Highly recommend it for lovers of science & cosmology.
Perfect copilot when you’re enjoying night time wonders.
