8 of 25I Love this it helps me point my telescope at planets and star best app
I use the free version and have for several years. I recommend it. Best constellation app I have found.
I use this app almost daily to see chem out the stars, find where the ISS is located and so much more! I have inspired my adult children to check out the skies, especially the night skies, and. Is I do this with my granddaughters.
Why was it keep kicking me out instead of entering, when I tried to enter, it kicked me out again, was there a virus in there
Not good for eclipses
Recently bought a telescope and was looking for a free app. Lite is a great app. I really enjoyed it!
I have had this app for years, and it use to be dead on. Now I can aim at the moon and it will be way off on the app from where I am pointing. No longer worth keeping this app if it doesn’t even show correct positioning of anything in the sky.
awesome just awesome
