Wow! Perfect for the 15 minute hobby astronomer.
This app has so many great features, and EVERYTHING WORKS. Beautiful, clean, predictable user interface, with with only minor quirks that always seem to disappear on restart. A What’s Up feature gives you a quick glance at what planets are visible. “Tonight” gives you a quick list of things to look for in the night sky. If I have 10 minutes to look up, I can just click on “Virtual Sky” and the “What’s up right now” button before walking outside. Then move into “Motion” mode, which identifies whatever you are looking at, to quickly get oriented and find what I am looking for. After working with this app for just a couple of short sessions, I have gotten rid of Sky Safari and all other similar tools. This, ISS Spotter, and a pair of binoculars is all I need.
