Sky Map App Reviews

The map starts out fine, then jumps all over the place. Even when you search something, the map points you in 10 different directions as the frame keeps changing locations. Used to be my go-to app. Now its garbage.

You must try it!

Why I didnt have IPhone and this program when I was 10 years old?? Back to 80s..

It doesnt work correctly on iPod 5. I think on other iPods too...

Works very great, nice stability of night map. Не скачет, все хорошо работает.

Thank you very much! You have realized my childhood dream! Great thanks from Russia!

Awesome application for astronomy and astrophysics lovers. Works perfectly. Thank you

I suggest only the possibility of illuminate constellations by tapping on them! Very nice work anyway! GJ!

How do I use the time elapse for iPhone?

Wish you could tap on planets and learn more about them

This app worked fairly well when I was running iOS 6, but even then it was often glitchy. If youre running iOS7, do not bother with this app. It doesnt work.

I really liked this app... Until I switched to a new iPad, the ads returned, and I have been unable to find a way to get them deleted. Im ready to chuck the stupid thing. Oh, and the developers help website doesnt load, so no help there. From awesome to sucky in a single day. When I find a better app Ill post its name here.

I like the app but would like to see the state of Maine as a location on it.

In the 1960s, First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson, headed a campaign to beautify America. Besides extensive plantings, she worked to curtail billboard clutter on the nations highways. Well, were now in the 21at century and we need another Lady Bird to crusade against apps with banner ads. Theyre especially unpleasant in astronomy apps where one wants to see the night sky in all its glory. Sky Map is one of the worst offenders. It puts billboards up in space! Its ugly, distracting, and undermines the view of the sky and the app itself. Unlike in many apps, the ads also persist even when one is off line. Really bad! If that werent bad enough, it requires the user to have to press a "Start" button before it shows the sky. (What is this? Windows 98?! :-) ) The interface--side toolbar--isnt half bad, but the icons are obscure and the app seems limited. (No horizon?) Glad to see the Messier objects are included and the color scheme isnt half bad, although its ruined by the glaring, blinding, bright-white ads splayed across the bottom of the not-so-dark sky! One star only!

This app freezes and only shows north or south when it loses its connection to the internet. Works fine on iphone, wont work on ipad2 if it is NOT connected to internet. I guess it has something to do with using the current time to calculate right ascension and declination. Why wont use the Ipad internal clock? Cant connect to the developers website. MEGA FAIL DELETED.

As good as google sky map...because its a blatant rip off of it.

WE LOVE THIS APP!!! One request...INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE! An icon legend, function instructions, a "back button" would be nice... :-)

I wanted an app that would allow me to find the planets easily and to identify stars and constellations. Once the program knows where you are, whether through Location Services or through manual entry of longitude and latitude, you can just point the phone at different parts of the sky, and the program will identify the relevant celestial bodies. It works very nicely. I was happy to pay the $1.99 to remove ads; “the worker is worth his wages”.

What a piece of crap this is....I hadnt hurled up the 1.99 for remove ads purchase because i wanted to look at it first.....What crap they gave....The charts are a good 25 degrees off....What you are looking at isnt even close to being right, you cant calabrate it or adjust it.....You have to take there word for it.....After about 15 seconds of use a blinding white flashlight bright a Google voice app (banner ad, and BTW the Google app is worse than this one.....Birds of a feather) and kills your night vision.....Good thing there wasnt a ledge to fall off of.......In 2 words.....ITS CRAP.....

On my iPhone 3
