Simple to use, accurate

Used a little bit and it’s fantastic
There’s a compass and an ar functionality as well as a way to look at the surface of each planet up close

Really useful for beginners

I downloaded this app a few months ago and use it regularly, it is incredibly simple to work and the 3D map makes it easy for someone like me with zero background knowledge of astronomy, I’ve only had one occasion where the app did not sync up correctly with my phone and had the planets a few hours out but resolved itself after I closed the app and restarted it. Bought a pair of Binoculars and a telescope after using this app. There are no ads or anything you have to pay for unlike many similar apps. Great little tool

Great an simple to use

I have a request. How about an option to set a temporary particular date and time rather than just relying on the current Date and time.
Same for Lat Lon.

Somethings wrong

Shows me the sun and the moon up at 9.20 pm NZ time… eh?
I want to ID the planets in my night sky and have no idea how to get that info…
Needs a ‘how to use’ section
So frustrating

My Goto App

This is a fantastic app. It is my go to app for planetary and moon phases.

The best!!!

I just love this app it’s the best!! Thumbs up 👍

Superb App

Been using for a number of years through different versions and on different IPhones as I’ve updated. Superb and my default astronomy App.
As iPhones have advanced it’s only made the App better with faster processing power and better gps and compass performance

Really Cool!

The fact it also updates with the night and morning timezones makes it cool!

Wonderfully surprised

I don’t know what I was expecting but this is way above anything I could’ve thought. I definitely would recommend it for anyone who is just as obsessed with space as I am!

Overall good app

It’s a good app if you have a telescope or you just want to see what you are looking at in the sky, the only problem is if you have a telescope, it will not show Uranus or Neptune, if you don’t have a telescope though, that won’t matter because you can’t even see them with the naked eye.
