This app is a fake. Constellations are the same no matter where you aim your phone...... Should show full earth view all around..... Android market has a real working app.

Dead in 8.1. After launch, you allow it to use your location and it immediately crashes and exits. Obviously needs an update.

I expected this app to track where you look and have a detailed map. Its a passable map with an inelegant UI. Just poor user experience compared to others

Works great, easy to set up and use. Several different filters make it very informative.

This is a wonderful app. I work in a planetarium and use this to study the constellations and to set the starball to the correct view for that night. Very useful, though changing the time factor makes the scrolling rather glitchy. Otherwise very nice

I use this application frequently to find and identify constellations. It's fairly intuitive to use and more powerful than I would have expected from a phone app. I've recommended it to many of my friends.
