1. 5/5Great!

   This is the moon app I have been waiting for! Having a moon globe and atlas in one app is cool. The app is full of well thought out features: easy switching between globe and atlas, reversable poles and view (perfect for when I am around a telescope), neat search feature, and an easily accessable Help section that is helpful. The only suggestions for a future upgrade are 1.) having it remember location, and 2.) being able to default the startup gps location search to off. Someone really put some work into this, and it shows, so the $5.99 price was worth it to me. Nice job!

2. 5/5Exceeded my expectations

   I was doing some lunar observations tonight, and the little moon map in my astronomy app (pocket universe) wasn't cutting it. I remembered seeing this a few days ago in the store, but was hesitant to purchase it without any customer feedback posted yet. Boy I'm glad I did! It has every feature I was hoping for and THEN some. You can adjust the moon map to the orientation of your telescope view (inverted, mirrored, etc), it has a very nice night vision interface (something I didn't expect in a moon app, but nice to have), as well as the ability to turn on and off grids, names, etc. The moon can be rotated or locked into proper view. You can easily pinch and zoom, then double tap any prominent feature and get info like where the name came from and how large the feature is. Also the moon map itself is very high resolution. Easily higher than what my C-11 can resolve, yet not so high as to be confusing (it starts to become apparent you are zooming in too much right about when it should, if that makes sense). Seriously, if you have ever thought of buying a moon map for use with telescopic viewing, don't hesitate... get this!

3. 4/5Needs a little work...

   I wish I could love this app a little more, but there is potential. You can spin the moon and zoom in on anything. Looks great but the images get blurry pretty quickly. I don't expect a google earth degree of detail of course, but a higher degree of resolution should be available. Also, the zoom and pan features are really touchy. It can be frustrating when zooming in or out as the screen will just jump and you lose what you were looking at. More information on key structures would be nice. You only get a couple of lines on The Sea of Tranquility and Appalo 17. Taping on these labels should give you a lot more info and some photos. This app have the potential to be a lot more then a virtual telescope (and a tempermental telescope at that). But, overall, it is still a wonderfull and useful app. The Mars Atlas on the other hand, is a complete mess. Crashes within 5 seconds of launch every single time. Still waiting for a reply on the e-mail I sent the developper. Very disappointing...

4. 3/5Very featureful, but low rez images makes this useless with telescope

   Pros: + Takes into account libration and viewers position + Dynamic labeling based on zoom (clearest labeling I’ve seen among apps!) + Provides extra data (including libration plot), not just the map itself! + Has upside-down & mirror mode, and night vision (red) mode. + Full 3D globe if you want or explore from other angles. + All imagery has a good (though static) lighting angle such that terrain relief is clear. Cons: + This turned out to be a BIG one for me: Lowest resolution imagery or any of the moon maps. When out observing with my small (130mm) reflector Telescope, I can clearly see much smaller details than shown in this image. Indeed, the in app chart is such low resolution that I had a hard time identifying craters because identifying details were missing. I ditched for another app that, while worse at showing labels, gave me the detail necessary to identify features accurately.

5. 5/5Moon Atlas Rocks!

   This app is great for lunar aficionados! I love the ability to find spacecraft sites and see some facts on each one (note: the develoer needs to correct the Surveyor 3 date - it did not land on the same day as Apollo 11!). I like the night mode for use without destroying your night vision and the ability to flip the view to match that in your telescope. I rarely buy aps, but this one is worth it.
