Awesome It has inspired me to learn more about astronomy! It does lock up when searching, but be patient it's worth it!
★★★★★
This was exactly what I wanted. Good star chart that has all the NGC objects, draws a Telerad reticle and an occular FOV. Needs FOV flip for EP view.
★★★★★
Very good tool. The app itself is quite nice snd very useable, but I would love to see extensions for the skymap to interface with other apps (ex: ISSdetector) possibly in the future.
★★☆☆☆
Good idea but full of bugs This could be a very nice app however: 1) It causes other apps to crash 2) The filters on displayed objects (mag) does not work 3) It only displays in landscape
★★☆☆☆
Very good idea. Large DSO database. But way too slow and buggy. Force closes often. Galaxy S.
