Great App
All you need to find your way round the night sky. Very easy to use and a lot lighter than a detailed star atlas.
There is a lifetime of objects that the application can help you find. Makes starhopping bearable with its pointers.
Highly recommended and new features are being added all the time.
This is still the one!
For serious astronomers this is still hands-down the best app. The info it provides and the attention to detail are amazing. The developer is so sick into this app that he updates it all the time, which is no easy task. I feel like the competing apps are astronomy apps made by software developers where as this app is made by a talented developer who is an astronomer. It is not a 99 cent app but that is why it is so good.
