Can’t Wait

This is the only app I’m disappointed that I’m not receiving an alert.

I’m never missing a supernova again

As an amateur astronomer, I now will be able to point my telescope at a Supernova hours before it happens. This is great because it rarely ever happens where someone captures a supernova as it occurs. Overall great app, UI and features, 5 stars.

I can’t wait for the next SN

How cool is this to be first to know of a scientific marvel. Even before Dennis Overbye! And the sky map localization is great.
