iPhone and iPad become the virtual windows into the universe - anytime, anywhere!
Simply point your iPhone or iPad at an object in the sky, and the app tells you what you're currently viewing:
All 88 constellations, over 5000 stars and the planets of the solar system.
Features at a glance:
• Auto function:
Automatic determination of the position and orientation in real-time using GPS and compass data.
• Scroll function with zoom:
Scroll and zoom through a beautiful 3D view of the sky.
• Night Mode:
In order not to dazzle your eyes when observing at night, the app offers a special night mode.
• Universal:
Developed for iPhone and iPad.
If I could ask for my money back I would. When I initiate the app, it consistently shows the west sky no matter what position I'm holding my iPad. If I turn my iPad the figures move, but if I point my computer at a particular constellation or even the moon. It doesn't show that particular part of the sky. There are no directions; I assumed the app would be intuitive. Either I'm missing something or the app is poor. I'm leaning toward the latter conclusion.
I should have read the reviews before down loading. Does not work correctly. It's lost in the sky.
