There is nothing else like it
I’m sad to see Emerald Sequoia go. Their Observatory is simply nonpareil for clarity. I use it continually. There simply is nothing better. I know. I’ve looked for something as useful for Linux.
Time and space are the essence of all.
This was the first and best app that I ever bought.
I aways send a screen picture to friends who need directions for planets.

My very first app
So sorry to see this go…I found it relaxing
Essential through out the seasons
Also a longtime user, this app is essential if one wants to know our ‘place’ in the solar system, at any time in the day and in any season. The sun swing from solstice to solstice, the local sunrise and sunset, the variation in the day length over the year, are all tracked precisely in an elegant and beautiful manner. Only one wish- that I had this Emerald Observatory as a large clock on the wall in a place where I could glance at it often!

Amazing App
I’ve had this app since it was introduced many years ago. There is nothing even remotely similar to it, so I consider it unique among the tons of content out there.
As with every app that has been in the market for a long time, I hope the developers continue supporting it. The last update was done a year ago.

Perfection!
From my current Facebook post:
If you have even a casual interest in the night sky and own an iPad, you owe it to yourself to buy the Emerald Observatory app. I’ve been using it for over a decade now and it’s one of the few apps I truly love now just as much as the day I purchased it. The price is probably just a few dollars. As an instructional designer and technologist as well as a software developer, I’m simply in awe of how beautifully and perfectly this app is designed and the amount of information that is clearly displayed on ONE screen. Data visualization geeks and designers, take note! This is how the best of the best do it. Exquisite and elegant in every way.

The most awesome clock in the store! Think wallpaper! (Wish)
I am absolutely mesmerized when I open this app. There is so much there! I would really love it if it could be ported to screen wallpaper.
Wonderful App
I got this app when I get my first iPad, and I love it. It’s so beautiful, and it packs in so much information.
Awesome
The best clock app.
!
I don’t even know what to say, it’s so good.
Superior App
and beautiful.
Visually Stunning
This is probably the most stunning clock ever. It is amazing the information, dials, and representations presented on this clock.
Magnificent Union Of Form And Function
This is a splendid example of application development that is both a useful information center for Astronomy, as well as a beautiful timepiece. The dials are easy to read, and provide a wealth of useful data. Even if you have only a passing interest in the sky above, you will still have an intriguing display of several different ways to measure time. This app is an excellent investment for scholars of any age.

Just Outstanding
Absolutely love this app! So incredibly detailed, so beautiful! I’ve taken to keeping it up and running as my bedside clock. It’s perfect.
Crème de la crème
This one’s a home run and an absolute steal, you will probably learn some new things using it, and its UX is flawless. I’m tempted to grab other apps by these devs, they all look top notch, even though they haven’t been updated in a while.
One of the Most Beautiful, Functional Apps
I have had this app, it seems, ever since iPads first came out. It is one of the most beautiful clocks with astral events and other useful things that didn’t make me miss my analog clocks. It does what it says, and it does it well. Other clocks have come and gone, but this one is always one my iPad.

It’s just cool!
It really works well, and it’s gorgeous to look at. Glad I got it. I recommend it for everyone!
My Favorite App
This is one of the few perfects app I have found to date. I have been using it for years and have never had an issue. It gives me a quick view of where the planets are at any given time, has a daily alarm (a beautiful gong sound) that wakes me up every morning and is visually stunning, to boot. Highly recommended if you want to know when the planets rise and set and are a sucker for old style scientific instruments.

A Visual and Intellectual Delight
Very informative, very beautiful to look at. It's well thought out, provides a lot of information and does it in a visually stunning format. I just can't say enough about this app.
Addendum: I don’t know how many years I’ve had this app but it consistently delights the eye and gives me so much information at the same time.
