LOVE IT!

Since I had my cataracts operated on a few weeks ago, I can now see the stars and with this wonderful app, I can actually identify them! It has opened up a whole new Universe for me! Literally!

Best astronomy app ever

Much better than SkySafari because it doesn't restrict the app's functionality with those hated additional in-app purchases. That's why Star Rover beats it hands down. Also this app is more detailed, has better UI and is better designed with much more detailed information--both visually and contextually than SkySafari and other lame competitors. The graphics are amazing! The developer(s) did a great job.
