User reviews

Not correct

What good is this app, if the information is incorrect

Could be great, but ....

I the simple way that this app allows one to move easily through time. However, the ultimate test is the accuracy of the positions of the moons. In this app, the positions are not even close. I thought that maybe the time was off by some constant value, but this not the case. I hope the developer will correct the problem. Also, I would love to see the Giant Red Spot included in a future version. If the improvements are made, I will be back with enthusiasm.

Nice, but no cigar

I thought that there might be a setting or something that was off, but in the end I confirmed with a telescope sighting that the moons just do not match. Less beautiful graphics, but accurate info can be found on the web. Great for illustrating purposes only.

Cool app but doesn’t match what I see

As the other reviewers noted, I have looked at the moons many times with binoculars and last night with a nice scope and the positions of the moons were very different than what the app says they should be.

Would also be nice to know if a moon was behind the planet or in front of it. Otherwise very cool!

Who in Ganymede gave this one star??

It is a Jupiter’s moon tracker. It tells you the positions of Jupiter’s moons now, then, and back then. It’s the one app I have that does exactly what it says. Not one Io more and not one Europa less. Callisto please!!
