We've also tweaked the look of these lines and changed the way the deep sky panorama moves as you pan around, so your local horizon is kept level.

User reviews

Use on iPad

Great content but the map is hard to control and keep horizon level on an iPhone. I got a new iPad just for this app and it’s much better of course !

Needs better charting

Great content but the map is very hard to control and keep horizon level…also needs to zoom out more than allowed.
