Clean, focused and useable. Does what it should, easily without fuss. Great little app. Being able to now rotate the reticle is great! Suggestion: Provide a readout of (or even better, a way to input) rotation values in RA / hh:mm:ss format, in addition to degrees. Minor display bug -- On my Android 12 Pixel 4A the app stays fullscreen regardless of the setting. No biggie, just noticed it. Update - Rotate-by-hour works great. Full screen is intermittent, but as noted, no biggie. Thanks!!

Hi Len,
Hh mm ss format is now available in v 1.9. Android 12 brought some changes, it will need a bit of ironing out. The issue is confirmed and hopefully fixed in the next release.

As other users have commented, it's simple, no frills, does what you need with no problems. It offers a choice of two reticles for the position of Polaris, one for the Skywatcher Polar Scope, and a straightforward list of numerical data. Download and installation are quick. No ads, either.
