Beskrivning
There's never been a better time to get into Astronomy! Start off easy with an app that will guide you around the night sky - and even entertain you a little when the skies are cloudy.
"The app works beautifully, making astronomy a bit less mysterious—but no less remarkable", MacWorld
"It’s truly an impressive marvel. 5 Mice out of 5", MacWorld.
"..one of the prettiest and easiest to use. And at three bucks, it’s a steal", Cult of Mac.

Pocket Universe
Have you ever looked up at the night sky, and wondered what exactly you were looking at? Pocket Universe is an easy-to-use app that will help you learn the names of constellations, bright stars, planets and more. You can literally hold up your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch in front of you, and the app will use the built-in compass to display the same view of the sky you see - but one that's complete with names and information.
Then explore the Solar System, and take virtual walks on the surface of the Moon and Mars, before playing a game to help you learn more about astronomy that you thought possible.
Every night there is something to see: Pocket Universe will provide you a list of suggestions, as well as give you regularly updated news and observation tips - which you can even share with your friends.
You don’t need to be an expert to use Pocket Universe, and everything you see has a useful pop-up information window and links to Wikipedia for the latest information.
With over 80,000 stars, beautiful textures, built-in quiz games, updated news, lunar phases, information on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, an Orrery view, and more, there’s so much to explore.

Key Features
Pocket Universe was the first iPhone astronomy app to support the built-in compass, and it was also the first to add a true augmented reality view using the iPhone's built-in camera! Use the camera view in the evening or morning sky to overlay the labelled view over the real sky.
Simply hold up your iPhone in front of you, and the view will be exactly what you see - but with names and information at your fingertips. Move the iPhone around to see the view change in real-time.

A Piece of the skies in your pocket
I have a lot of interest in astronomy, and love reading and knowing about stars and the heavens. Imagine yourself, stirring at the night sky and wondering, and having a tool to explain all the constellations, planets and objects in the sky. This is a “must have” app if you have any interest in astronomy.
Cons:
1. Somewhat dim/dark Graphics. But that’s ok if you are using it in a dark environment.
2. No advance information on objects. I would have welcomed more info on every star that is charted.
3. Why did they remove the Star Trek user interface design. I’m kind of disappointed.
Pros:
1. Support for 3GS compass(motion mode). This allows you to move your iPhone around and aim at the sky.
2. Easy user interface.
3. Astronomy News and Quiz.
4. Zoom option in the planetarium view.
5. Price, Certainly worth the price.
I hope that the developers add more options and information in the future updates.
Keeps crashing!
This program has many nice, well implemented functions. Really helpful for viewing the night sky. Unfortunately, since a few versions ago, it crashes incessantly, both on iPhone 3GS and iPad 1 (both on iOS 4.3.1). :-( No crashes would have rendered it five stars; now it's almost useless.
