Leave a Review GoSkyWatch Planetarium iPad
Great app!
Very intuitive, zero learning curve, and actually very informative, (if not downright cool!) to use such a wonderful tool as an amateur astronomy fan. A wealth of knowledge is available, but this app doesn't overload the user with excessive information. A great bridge between the amateur astronomy fan and more advanced, academically disciplined, professional astronomers.
Interface is well thought out, the app is stable, (even on a first gen iPad,) and an extensive amount of options and settings make it very cool to motion track the night sky...as well being able to "see" the heavens during the daylight hours.
Obviously, if hooking up a laptop and telescope and data tracking are more your level of interest, you can PAY for apps like that which are far more advanced and extensible. This is a good educational tool at a great (read: free!) price!Show lessDanielJnickname
You will not be disappointed
I am still new to iPad/anything Apple. I have been somewhat disappointed by many of the software offerings. This is one of the very few that lives up to the potential of the the iPad platform. Excellent for finding that celestial body you've been trying to locate, or even looking ahead to a future date to see when your favorite planet will be visible at night again. This is an outstanding offering; I am surprised it is free. Thanks for a beautiful and entertaining and useful program! Now, if Apple would allow print to PDF over AirPrint, and add NumLock......Show lessDink48
Really nice update!
I've had GoSkyWatch for a long time now, and the new update really shows off the retina display of the new iPad. I think I'll be using this app a lot more now that this update has come through.DJ Hoppy
The best and most enjoyable teaching and learning aide
My children and I use this app to help him with his science project and now they actually fight over it. We sometimes forget the time and end up not going to bed until after midnight on weeknights because we are having so much fun discovering our universe. My children ages 7 yrs, 5yrs, and 2 yrs love this app and what it is teaching them. They what planets are in what constellation and what galaxies look like. As I have already said, this app is great for teaching anyone about the universe and the objects in the heavens.Show lessLibros lover
Fantastic. Gets the kids interested in astronomy
Tonight the kids were able to see the planets in the sky without a telescope, and got interested in the constellations etc. Highly recommend this app. It's fantastic!Textus Girl
Good stuff!
I teach earth/space science in middle schools and am an avid skywatcher. Really, it doesn't get any easier than this app. This really comes in handy to show my students that the stars and planets are there during the day, we just can't see them. Also, being able to see "through" the Earth and explain that people on the other side of the world are experiencing night and show my kids what the sky looks like to them. The fact that it's free is very nice. Too bad the iPhone version isn't also. But hey, this version free in the classroom and pay for a personal version on my phone... That's ok, I understand it.Show lessTeacherMan1818
