Best astronomy app for 99% of casual observers

SkySafari 8 Plus is by far the best app I've found for enjoying the night sky.

It hits the perfect balance compared to the Pro version (honestly, 99% of people observing the sky with their naked eyes or binoculars will never need more than the Plus version).

I've also noticed a substantial improvement in performance and smoothness over the 7 Plus version.

Highly recommended!
