A fantastic app for finding constellations, planets, and other objects such as galaxies in the night sky. The search feature and informational feature is great for finding constellations and learning about various galaxies and planets. The only thing that would improve this app would be information on the various constellations (that and the ability to click on a constellation and select it). Granted, the lack of story ought to push the truly curious into deeper study of mythology. But a brief description and backstory for each constellation (just as each of the planets have currently) would make this app truly fantastic.

I am not much of an astronomer, but I enjoy understanding the night sky. My wife enjoys my pointing out planets, but I need an app like this to help me. Pointing my iPhone at the sky and getting the solution is great. The other night I was pointing out planets and constellations to her and she became childlike in her enthusiasm pointing to stars asking me what they were. Normally this is beyond my abilities, but that night I had all of the answers!One suggestion, include an option to use GMT as the time variable. This would make looking at different locations easier.

This app was instrumental in me finally see my first shooting star in Aug during the Perseid meteor shower!! True bucket list item for me! Thank you!!! I’ve learned so much about the night sky using this app. I’ve always had an interest in the night sky but never been able to look up and point and identify the celestial body. I can now and I’m fascinated by it and open this app probably every few nights and every time I visit a few place. If you click on it, it tells you details about it which is great! Making it still or moving around is a great feature too because I can be in bed and learn things by moving my phone around etc. perhaps add a new feature that lets you see future movement of stars. Timeanddate can tell you positions of star in the future... just a thought... thank you for a great app!!

Update:I like the new search feature. Just what I wanted!End updateI use this app to help me find things to look at with my telescope. I am new to the telescope viewing but have been using this app for learning for awhile now. Have had no problems with using it. It has loads of info on the selected object. There are many settings so you can set to see objects you want to search for at a particular time instead of being overloaded with too many objects.
