SkyWeek now adds interactive, custom sky maps that are automatically set for your location (not the static version’s compromise for the center of North America). And starting from the sky scene that’s displayed, you can pan all around your heavens, change the scene to other times and dates, and zoom in or out.
• All major sky events: eclipses, conjunctions, good meteor showers — miss nothing!
• Zoomable constellation charts: pan around your whole sky, and change to any time or date!
• Automatically customized to your location worldwide.
• Links to more info.
Whether you’re a newbie skywatcher or an experienced amateur astronomer, SkyWeek will become your handy, everyday guide to what’s up.
Was a great app until it timed out and we users were all left hanging. No explanation, no recourse.
This app is 5 stars when it is working, no stars when it's not. Come on Sky and Telescope, I have subscribed to your magazine for about 35 years. Please release "next year's version" before next year!
The app has expired, there is no way to renew the app, why doesn't Apple remove it from itunes until it is fixed. This way it will save the developer from all the bad reviews?
I wrote S&T, here is their reply. Thank you for your email. I'm sorry, but we have not gotten the 2012 app loaded yet. It should be available on the site in the next 1-2 weeks. Just keep checking for the app. S&T Customer Service
I launch the program and it tells me my version has been abandoned and I need to but a new version. I go to the Apple store and the program page says I can update my program for free. The description says the 31Dec11 expiration has been removed. I click update and am taken back to my home screen where a progress bar appears across the bottom of the program icon but there is never any progress on it. The icon reappears and when I click it I get the message that my software has expired and I need to purchase it again. Worthless
