Great please take my money

This is just great, one of the few Astronomy apps to offer a full 180 deg whole sky view on zoom out, which I personally find the most useful. I bought this over a decade ago and still use it. I would like to send you more money in fact as I feel bad for getting so much out of a single purchase. Please implement an in app purchase so I can tip!

Easy to use

Still one of my fav apps

GoSkyWatch (I apparently rated this sometime ago)

Fantastic!!! Best program of its kind that I have found. The more I use it the more I discover things that it is capable of doing. (Like tracing out the sun Analemma as a function of time.) I input my own location with a high degree of accuracy and find extremely good accuracy in everything else that it calculates. I find the accuracy of the program to be Impressive. The display is very realistic as to the relative brightness of the stars and constellations, just the way you see them. I feel you are to be congratulated for creating such a versatile program. Being able to choose between ordinary time, the mean solar day or sidereal days is very useful. In fact, that is what allows you to see the Analemma traced out over the course of a year with a time function of your choosing with a simple flick of your finger.

This is an Excellent App!

This is an Excellent program helped me pick up major understanding in hours through AR rather than hundreds of hours through books

Endless enjoyment

I have had this app for years and it has been an endless source of fun.

Never remembers north

Started off good, but having north always out of calibration kind of ruins the app for me.

Even with a follow up from GoSoftWorks the app still disappoints. Thanks for your canned response. Hopefully that is enough to cover up other unhappy customers. I would hate for your reputation to be damaged by your poor product performance.

Response from developer

With recent versions of iOS the calibration circle no longer appears. To help iOS calibrate to the surrounding move the device in all directions for a few seconds to speed up calibration when you first start the app. Also check that you are not using a case with hidden magnetic or metallic parts that interfere with the compass and that the location has been determined correctly. Please contact support if you need further asssitance.

Fun App

I downloaded this app and have been happy with it. Being a curios novice it fun to identify the different objects in the sky. It makes be look smarter than I am.

Great app

This app is very well done. I use it to all the time for astrophotography planning. It is very easy and convenient to use. My only request would be that they add more deep space objects but all the major targets are there. All and all good stuff.

Addictive

If you're an astronomy geek then this is one of the most addictive apps ever. And very accurate.

GoSatWatch

Excellent. The most helpful star guide app.
