    This app is pretty good! But I was viewing the moon, and I had the camera perfectly lined up with my telescope but it said that it was to the left of me. This app is ok but everything is a rough estimate.

    This is one of those apps that just feels like you have an astronomy wizard in your pocket. Works amazingly well. Really appreciate the guided search feature.

    This is one of my favorite apps. Easy to use and a source of joy after a challenging day - reminding me that i am looking into the past - and that we are each an infinitesimally small part of the universe💫

    I bought this because it boasted that it could take augmented pictures of the sky. No matter what I do the camera stays shaded out.
