User reviews

Mis-labeled galaxy - M53

In map 13, in the constellation Coma Berenices, M53 is labelled M35. You might want to update that. I’m pretty sure it’s an error.

Does this work anymore

Wonderful app, but I haven't used it for several years and now doesn't work in IOS 14.x... need help.

Very Useful

I bought Star Atlas 2000.0 many years ago by Wil Tirion and find this App to be very similar. Easier than carrying the large paper atlas.

A good companion to ‘TriAtlas’ which is also available.

Superb aesthetics

From the same buggers who did StarDisk.

A Norton Star Atlas for my phone.
