Comments:
A most wonderful, easy to use, and informative application for those special nights.
The IOS version is phenomenal & used it for many years in the military aviation world for quick reference flight planning around astronomical/nautical/civil twilight to determine timelines around NVG flights; saved me from having to dig it up on clunky military software or call ATC. Now I have an Android phone & I couldn't be more disappointed. Why in the world wouldn't you use the same interface for android?! It degrades the planet viewing abilities too since you have to guess visibility time.
This app works pretty well but is a little off its Target I noticed when the planets lined up on 12/21/2020. When I compared the app's placement with the stars in the sky, I noticed a difference. Otherwise it's a wonderful app to become more aware of what's up there.
`Excellent app, informative and easy to use. I only wish that the Android version had all the features described in the video. BTW, for the users complaining with variations of "location is way off": recalibrating your phone's compass should fix that.`,Even after a many years and several phones and tablets, this remains the best skymap that's available. I have dragged this app all around the planet and it has never failed. Thank you very much!
