I've been using this app for a couple of years now. Absolutely an indispensable part of my kit. I use this to get level on the tripod, get elevation on the saddle and finally get Polaris to the right location in the polar scope on my iOptron. I consistently get less than 20 arc-sec (yes, arc-seconds) of error which is easily within reason for short focal length, long exposure astrophotography. This speeds my setup process significantly! Love this app!

All in one except for compass/GPS reliance. This app is great when used for setting up astrophotography tripod. I only have two issues. 1. The compass is just useless. 2. I wish this didnt rely only on GPS for finding latitude. Would love to have a built in inclometer. Frustrating to be at a dark sky site and no signal which makes this app a glorified level.

I don't have a clear view of Polaris from my house, and using the beta feature dayalign seems to work really well. Using it, I can easily get tracked exposures of a minute without star trails. About as good as I could ask for without an actual polar alignment. The other features work well, pretty much all you should need to achieve alignment. One small gripe would be that the UI is not the slickest, but it does what it advertises well. Checked against an actual compass and it was spot on.
