A recent review incorrectly states that the location is always tracked the background. Location is only used when the app is first started to correctly set the sky view and is then turned off to save power. Due to recent iOS security changes any app not updated for iOS 8 or later will default to showing location "Always" even if it is not always used. This version has been updated for "While Using the App" location access.

• Designed specially for efficient outdoor use.

• Popup images — No need to keep zooming in and out just to see what is out there.
• Full 180 degree display — See at a glance what is in the sky and where without having to pan around.
• Don't need to hold level — Displays the sky view and information at the correct orientation when held at any angle not just landscape or portrait.
