★★★★★
Sidereal Display not broken--just needs to be set. Touch screen @ time display and select time to display in that spot. REALLY NEEDS AN ALARM!
★★★★★
Sidereal clock Should be illuminated with red light to preserve night vision. Otherwise great for use at the telescope.
★★★★★
Functional clean Used at my telescope for a year to set the analog setting circles. Updated to pro version. Not loaded down with ever featured under the sun.
★★★★★
Clear cache & data Clear data/cache on update If sidereal time shows as 88:88:88, clear the app's cache & data. Works MUCH better after.
★★☆☆☆
Issue with UTC I am using an HTC EVO 3D and it appears that Sidereal so-called UTC Coord Universal is actually derived from my Android system clock, that is 15 seconds fast, due to Android bug 5485. Basically no Android application should claim UTC discipline unless fetching UTC from a reliable source, such as an NTP server, equating the delay as well.
