1. 5/5Great app

   I got the free version of this app I think about 4 years ago when I was outside one evening looking at the sky trying to win a bet with my wife about the Big Dipper and Little Dipper. It doesn’t matter who won the bet!😡 Anyway, the app was so awesome I purchased the full version right away. Now I use it to find out when there will be meteor showers, comets, satellites or even the International Space Station. I use the reminder function so my family doesn’t miss anything cool. Not only does it remind of interesting events, it also shows you where in the sky you need to look for the best chance of seeing meteors, the space station or satellites. It also lists all the stars, constellations and planets. Plus, when viewing comets or satellites or other moving objects, it will track them so you just hold up the phone and follow. We love this app, it is super fun, it’s so much fun that the kids don’t even know they’re learning. I would recommend this to anyone. The free version is fine but the premium is definitely with the few pennies it cost. It’s been about several years since I first tried this app and I am still using it regularly. My kids are now old enough that they are using it on there own and still learning. Probably the best app I have ever purchased.

2. 5/5Best Star Map Ever!

   Love the 3d and that you can select objects in the sky by touching them on the screen and it gives the information about that object or area of sky. Absolutely pinpoint accurate so far. Point your phone in the direction of the object and there it is. No having to move around to find it. Shows EVERYTHING that you can and can not see with the naked eye. Absolutely hands down the best star map app ever. Brilliant!

3. 4/5Fantastic App

   Constantly use your fine app to teach my son about the power and grandeur right above our heads, that all too often goes unnoticed/under-appreciated in this frantically stressed-out world of ours. Your app is especially useful for noting when planets such as Jupiter will be visible for telescopic viewing, which in our low light-pollution neighborhood, usually allows for spectacular views of my 2nd favorite planet & her many moons. Thanks again for all you do to make this super fun & educational app available for free. My only suggestion would be to consider creating a section with links to video content such as noted astronomers & physicists discussing various cutting-edge astronomical & cosmological theories along with footage taken of various cosmological events such as planetary alignments & meteor showers visible to even amateur astronomers. Add a section for uploading pics & vids sent by amateur astronomers like myself, and a chat section for sharing views on recent astronomical activity & a wide range of theories & discussions about the universe and our ultimate role as living sentient beings within the universe, would make the perfect compliment to the aforementioned professional discussion area and make your already stellar site (pun intended), just that much more ‘out of this world’ (oops...I did it again).

4. 3/5It has everything but three glaring flaws ...

   It does star colors well, properly reports B-V values and plots stars on the HR diagram, gives distance wonderfully... What is missing must have been a bad design decision and these are: 1: decision NOT to show actual deep sky objects but have very poor low resolution standin images that are generic and don't represent the actual object at all.. case point the Orion Nebula arguably THE most important recognizable objects in the sky... NOT represented except by a very poor cluster image. Many more just like it. Not even Messier objects represented in the sky view. 2: looney tunes quality constellation art that is not representative of the classic mythology. People in mythology represented as if drawn by someone who never knew anything about the myths behind the constellations. I turn it off and will never use it now. 3: cannot change star brightness so with many stars visible or with additional database the sky looks like a color blindness test book at the eye doctors. Too much of a cartoon or coloring book look and feel yet there is this dichotomy of offering really good information couched in a less than effective presentation

5. 5/5Review

   This is an inspiring and very useful tool to view the sky map. I am interested in star names and meanings in the constellations. I find studying the history is difficult to find original information. I am not interested in the Greek mythology but the original history. If you could tell me good resources to find more information, I would be most grateful. The detail in the graphics is excellent. Thank you for such a great app!
