Great

This app is like carrying an astronomer around in your pocket. Very informative. If you are not a curious person, don’t get it and just continue crushing candy.

Moon Layer

The moon rotates with screen rotation but it should stay consistent relative to the earth and stars layers.

Just fix the Visibility display

Love this app! Lets me know quickly and easily what’s in the sky. Just one thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars: fix the Visibility display so nighttime is in the middle, ie run from dusk to dawn so I see the whole night at once. Why is noon in the middle?
