Why not plot Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto?
D.S. in USA

This is an easy app to use and shows you where all the planets are on the ecliptic except Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. I know you can’t see these with the naked eye but for telescope purposes it would be nice to see their locations. Overall, a good app! You might want to add the names of stars in the constellations as well.

An apt that is very worth having

I get great pleasure sharing this app with many people, especially younger ones.


Great for teaching the kids

I love how I can teach my younglings and give the knowledge from the stars above the earth


Preferred an older version
RaeHolmen

This app used to have an incredible opening sequence, with a mosaic of small photos that resolved to a larger image — an amazing use of hyperlinks. This maybe be more useful, but it’s SO pedestrian.


Totally awesome!!

It is totally awesome I love it I can learn about space and it is in 3D! Now I can see constellations! I am rating 5,000 stars!

Hi, I have always wondered why the planets never bump into each other while orbiting? Thanks Addy


Need calibration setting.

This app really needs a calibration setting to adjust for magnetic variations. Everything is off by several degrees with no way to adjust.
