I was introduced to this software using their desktop Starry Night pro to create 4d archaea astronomy animations for monument structures in central Mexico. The phone application is sufficiently powerful to allow further investigation at other locations. I recommend all my students download this app and upgrade to the pro version as possible. I wonder if it is possible to add custom viewable horizons for further research dissemination. Thank you

It's so easy to use, and I love the ISS notifications.

Great app for astrophotography and alignment of a star tracker - especially in the Southern Hemisphere.

Don't fall for there free trial scam, you get an email telling you when the free trial ends, and you can cancel at this link, do that and still get billed, complain about it and then run around starts, nice rort. Just an update, after trying to get this refunded I finally get contacted after I send the third email to them telling them I have left a bad review because of their lack of support, and offers to pay me the money back if I edit my review, then gets upset when I tell them no, still no refund.

Wanted to locate comet lemon, and it's not listed on the app. This isn't the first time I have noticed things not listed on the app.

This eclipse app is okay. You can select a location, and it'll tell you the four timings for contact (first, totality, exiting totality, and last). My huge complaint is that I purchased the app but the audio alarms are a "pro" feature that requires their subscription service. Who wants to spend their viewing experience looking at their phone to check time when they should be looking at the sky? The audio warnings/alarms should be included, I can get the timings for free from the internet.
