Shows you where everything you want to see is at: stars, constellations, planets and more!
So refined.

My first version of this came on 3.25" floppy disks. The user interface has certainly changed a bit, but, importantly, this tells you how much dedication sits behind this excellent platform. Whether armchair or backyard, beginner or old glass grinder, this app is absolutely of celestial quality. Worth 10x the price.
Fascinating

Wonderful night photo aid.

This app is a great aid to plan rural night photo shoots. The ability to select future times, dates and set locations is extremely useful. Having used Distant Suns on iPod Touches for several years, I'm even more impressed by the added functions gained on my new iPhone. One caveat: don't enable the iPhone's compass' True North option if you're planning to use the Distant Suns' compass function for point to identify objects in the night sky. The result will be a sky map off by your local magnetic declination.
All around useful Astro app

I've been an amateur astronomer & astronomy writer for over 30 years, and have seen a lot of software for stargazers. Since 1.0 for Windows, Distant Suns has been a great introduction to the sky, and a useful resource for users at any level. Since being ported to the iPhone, it has retained all the virtues of the original, and steadily added functionality while continuously improving the user interface. The developer is clearly committed to supporting users, and at a price that makes this one of the best bargains going. It doesn't quite measure up to Luminos in functionality I personally find valuable, hence the 4 stars, but it does some things Luminos doesn't. I use both regularly.
