This app is very handy for finding what's available to see on a given night. Pros: - Orders objects by what's setting first, letting you prioritize your night - Allows logging of objects for Astronomical League observing programs, with enough information to satisfy the AL's requirements - Offers ability to hide objects you've already observed or are below the horizon - Includes Caldwell and Messier catalogs, as well as planets - Allows export of observing logs Cons: - No night mode; requires a separate red filter to preserve dark-adapted vision (Twilight app doesn't quite cut it) - Calender for entering observations is a little buggy; yields the wrong date when choosing a month What I'd like to see in future releases: - Separate menu where you can list all your equipment, then select which telescope and eyepiece you're using when entering an observation (similar to how observing sites are currently handled) - Automatic calculation of magnification, if telescope and eyepiece specs are entered - Additional observing programs, e.g. Herschel 400, double stars, carbon stars, etc. - Night mode (only red and black, to preserve dark-adapted vision) - Option to hide objects within X degrees of horizon (that would be difficult or impossible to successfully observe)

The planet names are not on the graphic. I don't know what the symbol is that represents the planet so it did help me one bit.
