Wonderful App!!!
By SWMorrow (Pcmac user)
I set this up on my iPad and mounted it to my dobsonian telescope to use as a star chart and it has been pretty amazing so far. I don't have it set to motion so I just scroll on the screen to where I'm looking and star hop using this app to show me where I'm at by comparing it to my field of view. It's not flawless, but it's better than acceptable for finding deep sky objects, tracking the planets, and even satellites.
One thing I wish was offered was a telrad reticle overlay. That would make this app 100 times easier to use than it already is. The ability to see the size relation on screen and compare it through my telrad would enable me to speed up my star hopping faster than using a goto mount I'd bet.
I only gave four stars instead of five because in motion it seems to be off quite a bit although still useful, and because I feel that adding a telrad reticle overlay would then make it perfect. At least for me.

OK but a couple MAJOR problems.
By Tpa zzzz (Pcmac user)
I used the app a couple nights ago and everything seemed as it should be. But tonight I was trying to look back at that night on the app and it's not the same as what it showed then. In fact it was way off. I started setting the date back one day at a time until the moonset was at the right time and the date was 3 days off.
Second problem is finding a city. THERE IS NO WAY TO SEARCH FOR A CITY. If you are trying to find a city, first you have to scroll through a list of every country in the world. So the US takes a while to get to. THEN it shows a scroll list of every city it has in that country. So scroll, scroll, scroll (looking for Sedona - the city list doesn't list a state). First time I got half way there and touched just off the list and it went away. But it didn't start where I left off. Oh no. I had to start over again only to find Sedona is not on the list. Can someone tell me in what universe does this make sense???

Great, but not the PC version
By JamesOfApple (Pcmac user)
I used to have this on my PC a few years back. I miss being able to look with the different views (Convex, Concave, flat etc.), seeing somewhat hd pictures of planets and galaxies, changing how big the moon looked. I’m sure there are other things but those are a few of things that were on the PC version that I wish were in this. Anyway, in terms of a regular app, it’s outstanding. You should definitely give this app a try. It does have a sort of vr-like feature that’s pretty cool.
Hope you guys update!

Finally!
By ricky tikki (Pcmac user)
Just found out that this app was here. I love the desktop version of this app and the mobile app is just as great. I've bought several other apps, a couple that I've spent more than $13 on in-app-purchases (they got me), but none of them felt right compared to my desktop this app application. Finally I have a version that I can carry in my pocket, with the same lightweight and highly functional software as it's desktop cousin. There's a reason why this app is the most popular software for astronomers people!
