Ratings and reviews

Very nice little app that let's you play with a little Astrolabe. It would be nice if the settings allowed you to turn off the compass when you just wanted to use the astrolabe. Also I would like to be able to zoom in and out when using the astrolabe, of course there is the zoom in accessibility but it would be easier to just use two fingers zoom In the app.

I am an astronomer and did not find this an "astrolabe" app. it is just a compass app with an astrolabe background image and the ability to rotate the roller with no action. Astrolabes should have -at least- one more rotating disk for the stars. Astrolabe should read your latitude to be able to work. Also as an astronomer, you need to see the details by zooming in. All of these seemed to be not available to me. Thanks and please try to develop it more so we can use it successfully.

This app looks cool and is intriguing but I cannot figure out how to use it! Where are there some instructions? I would love to understand this thing!
