    It's a great app, but there is a bug. I found that in the description of "Betelgeuse (α Ori)" in the app, it is called "the ninth brightest star in the night sky", but in fact it is the tenth. I hope you can verify and correct it.
  • Hard to use

    There is no tutorial how to use these apps, I have all three. They are hard to use although there is good information in Star Gazing.
  • Informative and Beautiful….and surprising!

    Enjoy viewing the constellations, planets and stars. The graphics are beautiful. What I would like to view the area 30 degrees below the horizon. Now there are just wave patterns. Stalk walk 1 has this ability. Also the program does not synchronize all the time with objects in the sky. When it works you can point your phone at the sky and see where the stars and planets are at that moment.
