Great planning tool

I just started using ObserverPro and I have to say that it is impressive. During the day, I use it to plan out my viewing for the upcoming night. The graphs and reference data is amazing. I really like the weather interface. I was not clear on the symbols used for the GUI, so I contacted the author of ObserverPro. He replied back in a timely manner and gave me the information I needed. All in all, I am very happy with this application.

Hands down the best planner on the market! I was so bummed/lost when it was down due to an update! Searched and searched for an alternative, to no avail! It came back! Thankyou! It surpassed the pocket sky atlas! I'm sitting in my living room watching TV as my objects present themselves on the visibility charts! Headed out soon! Again, thankyou!
Must buy for any observer

This app is amazing! It tells you what are the best things to look at based on your location, time, moon location, and best of all you own custom horizon for many locations. You can record your observations, and plan out what to look at that night for on a future date. I will use this often.
Wonderful PlanningTool

This is my go-to program to plan most observing sessions. For star parties I can change the date in the app and set up the observing list weeks in advance. Love having the object images offline. Nicely done!
Wonderful app

I can't say enough good things about this app. I'm a budding astrophotographer and this app is what allowed me to find M81/M82 for the first time I ever tried. Seriously no need to hesitate if you want to find objects in the night sky you'll want this app.
Feedback. Needs....

Outstanding app I love how I can trace my Tree lines. I use this a lot to plan observing. But I'd love to see frame size (field of view) to see which scope would be best for a selected target. My 80mm apo or My 8" RC. One has focal length of 480 the other around 1500. I wish I could see the target size in my preset views. I also wish the photos were in color. Though that may make the app huge. Still would be worth it to me as I'd delete a lot of other apps for this one if expanded. I also wish there was a faster way to page down through hundreds of dso's in some of the larger catalogs. Flicking a finger up is tiring and slow. Still works so well at helping me see (what's in view) I have to give 5 star rating. I've bought over a thousand apps. Rarely use any one of them. This is the one worth buying an apple device for. I would also like to see the moon in SkyView. I see the curve and the sky is not as dark, but would like to see moon coming and going... is it behind my tree line? This is also where it would be great to zoom in on the circle in the path of sky view and see. Photo of target with scope focal length size?
Amazing, intuitive and well executed app

Having stepped away from desktop planetarium software and backyard observing for about 15 years, I'm again turning my attention to it seriously. I was looking for an app that would assist me in picking a site for a backyard observatory, and wanted to plot my local horizon to determine what objects I'd be able to observe and image. I assumed I'd need a desktop program to do this. No! Just my iPhone! THIS APP IS AMAZING. Not only is it incredibly useful to plot the local horizon and plan observing sessions, but the visualization graphs are incredibly intuitive and useful! Congratulations on an extremely well executed program. I look forward to years of use! Thank you!
