8 of 25this app is magic...it’s great to sit at my desk and activate the application that reminds me of my place and the insanity of it all.
Use SkyView, which is free and much better. Unfortunately you can’t get a refund with apps. Buyer beware.
I forget when I installed this app on my iPad but after I moved out of the city to a place where I could really see the stars it's become my most used app. I've learned to recognize constellations, observe satellites, notice various asteroid showers, and best of all, track the Milky Way across the night sky. I've even taken up night photography to capture some of the magic myself. I keep the music off so I don't wake anyone. I love this app! Heavenly.
Beautiful, easy to use, unbelievable amount of information, wonderfully easy, so much knowledge and beauty in an app
It lets me explore the stars and also get a chance to possibly discover some.
I 💖this app. I can see the stars so clearly for once 😔🙁😕I never do unless I’m on this app
Love it
This was last updated 4 years ago? Just recently upgraded constellations for 2019? Come on! I was trying to use this tonight. I had my iPad facing north and it kept telling me that it was facing west. I ended up downloading another app to find out what two objects were. I will not download anything else from this developer!
