I have a few other iOS skymap apps . I am still sad that the Palm app has not been ported, and I even keep a Palm TX running just for when I want to use it. Lately, I have been turning more and more to
the app under discussion. It doesn't quite do everything I want, there's no way to enter custom locations on the celestial sphere, for instance. All the same, this app does, say, 95% of it all. It is the easiest iOS sky app I have tried and gives excellent results. Once I had paid the modest one-off fee (no nasty lockin renewals) and got rid of the irritating constellation illustrations (which, I'm sure, somebody must love) while enabling basic current event data… well, I haven't looked back since. The Palm is still there, but gathering dust. Highly recommended.

Eh

I love the app but some times it doesn’t get the time right like I thought the moon was to the left of me and it was on the opposite side of me

Awful

This app will piss you off more if you’re having a bad day. Literally just shows Uranus…I guess and Jupiter

This has become an indispensable adjunct to my evening sky gazing. The app literally puts the cosmos at your fingertips and is a joy to use. It’s a great educational tool for young astronomers and a very useful and efficient reference for seasoned star gazers.

Bravo to the app developers on this one.

Excellent app! I like how it moves along sky & horizon and displays the names of stars & constellations. Great tool when we’re camping & star gazing.
