All you need to explore the sky
Very well put together, the app lets you explore and learn about what is above us at our own pace.
Fantastic 24-Hour Access to Your Sky with info/graphics
I wish we had this app when I first started out in Astronomy some four decades ago, when we were holding up transparent sky maps to the sky, and even cardboard maps with "holes" punched into them. This app is terrific for any budding astronomer, especially if you are just armed with a binoculars or a small 4 inch Dobsonian telescope. You can even view the sky on the other side of the globe (through the ground, so to speak), and terrific graphics plot all the information you need. There may be some minor inconveniences, when you want to bring the iPhone down towards you and the "sky map" changes, because it's motion sensitive and you can't freeze it. Maybe I haven't found out that yet! But using it is great fun and saves you the hassle of knowing what's the azimuth etc. to locate any constellation or stellar object, including satellites!
Breathtaking
Its weekend and was upgrading the IOS for my I4, and happen to browse thru the section for iTunes store and saw this app. I was thinking it was just another app, but looking at the screenshots thought it might be interesting.
So downloaded the trial ver to check and i was like what the hack how can they do this thing !!!.....
Just 2 min for me to purchase this app to explore more and yet not seen all the features but whatever saw just couldnt appreciate about it.
I dont know how good must be the accuracy as I am not that into space stuff but man could see ISS, space shuttle endeavour, pluto. And was then i need to share it with my other I4 buddies so in next 5 min shared in my FB and in next 10 min writing this review.
It is payable app but not that expensive but if you dont mind a dollar than this one is worth to buy. Atleast the concept is amazing !!!!
Hope this app wont be use for any misuse by bad guys, dont know but you never know :)
Takecare,
