Ratings and reviews

Very informative, it makes date night snacks in the park much more fun.

I'VE used this brilliant tool for over two years. It's a Really Handy tool for anyone trying to get practice handling celestial coordinates. The developer regularly adds useful tweaks. Is also responsive to suggestions and questions by email. I often feel I should be paying for this. It's reliable and comprehensive. Remember to keep your field sensor tuned properly. Great for checking calcs. eg. Az. Alt. Amplitude. Works on ALL bodies - not just the 57 on the selected list. NEW.Reinstall in2022

Here I stand, looking right at the little dipper, in the clear cloudless nova scotia country sky and this app couldn't pick out even the most rudimentary constellation. If you're located somewhere where you can't physically see the stars yourself, this ap will show you an accurate map of the sky, however it will not show the actual location of those actual stars if that's what you are looking for.
