Mr
Great app! Would be even better if you could enter your ground speed in for when are traveling,
Blown away!
I've only had it for a day, but so far the experience has been very satisfying. The interface is beautiful to look at, fairly intuitive and efficient.
I love having such rich content at my fingertips...
Now I can't wait to get an iPad to see even more!

Cool app
Really cool app, a little inaccurate on the aiming, but I don't expect much living in Atlantic Canada...
Night Navigation Awareness
As a Training & Checking Captain I try to inspire flight crew to seek excellence in their flying & navigating. GoSkyWatch has enabled me to help pilots use the sky at night to assist with orientation an confirmation that their navigation is going as planned. We can learn so much from nature.
Great for starting out in Astronomy or stargazing
Ever wonder what you are looking at in the night sky? No more - just point yr iPhone at it and know for sure! Includes lots of data and links to wikipedia if you want more. Totally intuitive AR interface, choose mag. Filter appropriate to weather or equipment, red mode to save yr night vision, even "stargaze" in the day time, inside, or on the other side of the world! So addictive and easily worth the $$. Btw I used it on iPhone 4.

Great app
Absolutely awesome app, very easy to use and lots of information, a very intelligent interface coupled with great customizability, very well presented
One of those apps you need to have
This app just takes the iPhone to another level. I have always been interested in astronomy but until now it was a little difficult to know what you were looking at - problem solved
Mr.
When I look for a DSO the app scouts around the sky to find it & it's sometimes confusing where this position actually is. I have an iPod Touch & therefore no compass! If I skim to the direction marker I lose the object. What'd be nice is telescope control like SkyVoyager but that's probably another whole story to implement. My favourite object of late NGC 6744 dosen't appear to be listed -
but these are minor gripes in a great little app.

The 3GS Compass seals it
I've had this app for some time - I bought it alongside the GoSatWatch. Although I loved the Sat program I just could not love GoSkyWatch, mainly due to the fact that you cannot reverse the E-W bearings and so to get the right perspective you have to use it "upside down" looking at the sky. This really bugged me. But with my 3GS and compass I finally get it! It's such a joy to use... Just hold it up to the sky and it all makes sense! Immediatelly it locks on to the object you are looking at. I love it!

simple suggestions for the next version
a responsive program, but could be improved. In the southern hemisphere, the moon appears upside down. The direction setting defaults to north in the northern hemisphere, and south in the southern hemisphere. But it is not clear how to get it to initially face west before you start using the accelerometer. And also call crux the southern cross (why not have both choices), for pete's sake.
