Quickly identify objects in the sky, with this try-before-you-buy version of the award-winning Pocket Universe astronomy application.
Pocket Universe Express displays thousands of stars, constellations, and solar system objects on a real-time rendered view of the sky.
The view will move automatically as you move left, right up and down - the app acts as a window onto the night sky.
When you are ready for something a little more, upgrade with a single in-app purchase to the full version of Pocket Universe, and get instant access to dozens of new features: track the International Space Station, play quizzes, virtually walk on Mars, see 80,000 stars and lots more!
Many features - including the night sky view! - are available for free, but one in-app purchase unlocks many exciting new features, and keeps an independent developer encouraged enough to keep working on updates.. :-)

Great Aid For Beginner

This tool makes finding objects easy and Sky defines the constellations clearly. I would recommend this application be used indoors to become familiar with everything it offers. Herbert

I love this app. It makes it easier to see where everything is and explains about each and every star or planet.
Woahhh

This app is truly amazing. It's so simple but so effective and the quality is crystal clear. It's pretty epic and accurate on an iPad, I must say... AND IT'S FREE! :O This is a MuSt HaVe! Thanks so much! -A Very Happy Stargazer...
freakin' awesome!

Integration with the gyrometer is da bomb! I can literally move this app any which way and it quickly updates the screen with the correct stars and constellations. Woot!
Not as good as Google Sky
Denisia:)
But what can you do, when you can't have Google Sky on an iPhone
Wonderful. Suggestion.

So... Love it. Everything about it. From the ideal to ingenuity. But... It would be nice to have a pause view button. It hurts my (and I imagine others) neck to strain as I look up at key stars and relative stars. Although... You have me sold. I will but the app. Job well done. I'm only hoping that the paid version offers a pause view button, and some sort of cold beverage. <3
