Awesome

I love identifying our solar system. Upgraded for $0.99 after years of free ad supported service. Glad I did!
Pitiful

Compass points are about 180o off....pathetic. The app points South but you're actually looking North
I find it wonderful

I find this app to be a lot of fun, especially to stay aware of our place in the solar system. It's actually quite beautiful. One night, I was awake and looked out the bedroom window. In the sky were several bright objects. I was pretty sure they were planets because they didn't twinkle, but I wasn't sure which ones. One was slightly reddish, so I strongly suspected it was Mars, and two were so bright I thought they must be Jupiter and Saturn. Beyond that, I just didn't know. Then I got my iPad and fired up Skywalk. It immediately showed me everything that was going on, including confirmation that the red one really was Mars. One of the bright ones turned out to be Jupiter, but the other was Venus, which was about as far from the sun in the sky as it could get. In the app, it was immediately apparent that all the planets were in a line (plane of the ecliptic), and looking along that line I was able to spot one more planet (Saturn) that hadn't been quite as obvious as the others. Skywalk lets you see what's below the horizon, too. During the night, you can see where the sun is, and during the day you can see what constellations, stars, and planets would be visible if the sky were dark. For me, it seems quite accurate enough. I suspect it depends on the compass in the device you're using. Keep away from magnets and large iron and steel structures! I've tried using paper star charts in the past, and since I don't use them often, I could never be sure I was interpreting them correctly. But with Skywalk, it's just natural and obvious. I use it only occasionally, so I kept the free version, but if I used it more often I would get the paid version -- it seems like a great deal! So, on the whole I am extremely happy with this fascinating app.
Crashing

I love this app. It's amazing and I use it all the time. But the latest update makes it crash every time I try to open it. Very frustrated.
Liked It Better Before

Updated the app, and now it's inundated with ads. Will probably just delete it. Very disappointed.
What did I pay for?

I paid for this app. I expect to not have advertisements on the screen. Would not recommend it.
Ruined by Ads DO NOT UPDATE!!!

Like an idiot I updated this app. Have had it for years and use it on night hikes. Now I have Ads across the screen blocking content. AWFUL!!!
