Include GPS support

Awesome app. I use in the airplane where my iPad is connected to a WAAS enabled Bluetooth GPS receiver that knows my position within a few feet, and sends this info to the iPad or iPhone. Dev team, please get your app to use this info, it is a pain to enter LAT/LONG, especially when moving at 500 mph.

Anytime Anyplace

I travel to many places in the world and it is so enjoyable to find my way around the sky from different places on a clear night.

Starships

Fun to use and watching my work.

My favorite app

This is by far my favorite app on my phone. It has helped me to understand my place in the cosmos and how I am moving within it! The very best.

It is a really cool app you can see every thing that we have discovered and you can see through the earth and it also shows north south and east yes I am a kid

Awesome start app

I haven't used this app a ton but it is super intuitive and had great controls and settings. To won't regret getting it

A perfectly good reason to get a smartphone

My original reason for my wife to upgrade to a smartphone was so she could get this app- she loves it, I enjoy it.

One can instantly easily adjust a slider to change how many stars are displayed to match your weather or city light pollution conditions. This app is further perfected by the ability to pull up a star's info on wikipedia.

Alignment

The app is around 40 degrees out of line with the moon

Response from developer

The Apple compass can have difficulty getting the correct alignment in some cases. Try moving the device in all directions to help with compass calibration. Check that you are away from large metal objects and that you are not using a case with hidden metallic or magnetic parts.

Eye opening

Never wonder again whether that bright thing in the sky is Jupiter, Saturn or a rent in the fabric of time.
