Ever wonder why so many astronomy apps are so hard to use? We do. So we made Classic Sky Map simple and intuitive enough for anyone to enjoy. The user interface is beautiful and straightforward, the controls are easy to use and most settings are just a tap or two away. Classic Sky Map shows you thousands of the brightest stars, the Moon, planets, constellations, meteor showers and more. And it's painless. Free Features: - Live Tracking. Simply point your device toward the stars and the sky map aligns itself automatically, showing you the portion of the sky at which you are looking. If your device has a compass, Classic Sky Map uses it automatically. If not, you can tell Classic Sky Map where the North is, and it aligns the sky map accordingly. - Live Earth Map. Quickly jump from one city to another by tapping on a map that shows the Earth's day and night boundary in real-time. If you allow it, Classic Sky Map can detect your current location automatically. You can also create custom viewing locations in seconds. - Fast Forward and Rewind. Accelerate or reverse time to understand how stars and planets appear to move in the sky over a longer period of time. - Beautiful Constellation Images. We put a tremendous amount of work into creating beautiful constellation images inspired by antique engravings and aligning them precisely with the stars. - Sharing. Share snapshots of the sky map with your friends at the tap of a button. - Quick Help. Should you have any questions while using Classic Sky Map, a concise, illustrated user guide will help answer them quickly. Full Version Features (In-App Purchase): - Interactive Search. Simply type in a search field, pick an object from a list of matches, then point your device toward the sky. An arrow appears and guides you until you are pointing your device toward the object you selected. If the object is not yet visible in the sky, its next rise time is displayed. - Sky Events. Classic Sky Map shows a list of current sky events such as meteor showers, eclipses and more and helps you quickly locate them in the sky. - Night Vision. Classic Sky Map's night vision mode helps minimize loss of dark adaptation. And we went the extra mile to make it look great in cyan, orange or red. - Extra Information. Tooltips and an information panel show details about stars, planets, the Moon, meteor showers and more. - Personalization Options. Personalize your sky map by turning various guides and display options on or off. Have fun!

FlashMathFlash is a math flash card game for multiplication, addition, subtraction, and division with whole numbers. Our goal is to help people brush up on the foundations of mental math, regardless of age. However, it can be especially useful to help kids first learn their "Math Facts" as they are typically called in modern curricula. We include an option for negative numbers, commuting multiplication and addition, either timed or un-timed sessions, a comprehensive "score" screen, and the ability for the user to copy the results of their session so they can see what they need to work on next time. Additionally, the app automatically adapts to dark mode if the user has this preference set on their device. We do NOT show ads and we do NOT have in-app purchases. Additionally, we do not collect any user data and we do not require the user to create an account. How it works: You select your "Focus Numbers" for the session. These are the numbers which will appear most frequently in the arithmetic flash cards that are generated. Then you choose your "Helper Numbers" for the session. These numbers are used to with your "Focus Numbers" to generate the flash cards. As an example, let's say you choose 7 and 8 as your Focus Numbers. Then you select Helper Numbers 1 through 10. You should expect to see cards with 7 x 1, 7 x 2, ... , 7 x 10 and 8 x 1, 8 x 2, ... , 8 x10, which are then shuffled and presented to you during the session. If you check the "Commute" box, then you may see the order of Focus and Helper Number reversed, but there will still be more cards that contain your Focus Numbers. We recommend starting with 1 through 10 for each of the operations, then adding in Negatives and 11 through 15 once you master 1 through 10. Thank you and DO MATH!
