Wonderful night photo aid.

By SugimotoKoitsu (Pcmac user)

This app is a great aid to plan rural night photo shoots. The ability to select future times, dates and set locations is extremely useful. Having used the app Suns on iPod Touches for several years, I'm even more impressed by the added functions gained on my new iPhone. One caveat: don't enable the iPhone's compass' True North option if you're planning to use the the app Suns' compass function for point to identify objects in the night sky. The result will be a sky map off by your local magnetic declination.
All around useful Astro app

By fishmonklv.x (Pcmac user)

I've been an amateur astronomer & astronomy writer for over 30 years, and have seen a lot of software for stargazers. Since 1.0 for Windows, the app Suns has been a great introduction to the sky, and a useful resource for users at any level. Since being ported to the iPhone, it has retained all the virtues of the original, and steadily added functionality while continuously improving the user interface. The developer is clearly committed to supporting users, and at a price that makes this one of the best bargains going. It doesn't quite measure up to Luminos in functionality I personally find valuable, hence the 4 stars, but it does some things Luminos doesn't. I use both regularly.
Latest version big disappointment

By tclark101 (Pcmac user)

Overview: the app Suns used to be my “go to” app for finding the planets and constellations. Now it’s a confusing mess. More info: When you opened the app, it “just worked.” Now I can’t even figure out how to turn on labels for celestial objects and each time I open the app it pops up an iCloud sync error message (I do not use iCloud and it should not pop this message up every time the app is opened). Once you are able to get through to the sky view, you are presented a sky without labels and without constellation lines, and beneath a group of icons that have no clear bearing on what the features do (except for the compass and lock). I can see that the developer put a lot of work into the 5.0 update, but they went seriously wrong from a UI/UX design perspective.
It's so amazing

By PerryBorenstein (Pcmac user)

It's easy to get numb to the magic of technology. But this app can remind you how mind boggling a smart phone or tablet is. This app contains so much graphical, cosmological, and text data, one can ignore how it amazingly uses location, compass, and graphics to reveal the mind-bloggingly big universe. It could use better documentation, for those of us new to astronomy. But click preferences, system, and turn on compass: and viola! Point to the sky and the universe is yours.
