Make fun games with it!!!  By: Klutzykyky - Aug 9, 2009 Version: 1.2 This app is actually pretty cool if you know how to use it!! When my friends came over for a play date, I told my friends about this app. I made up a game called "find your zodiac". what you do is start the app and you have to find you zodiac. Like a scorpio or taurus or something like that!! And we time each other it's really fun!! Whoever has the best time wins but I made up the game and I got last place on it..BUT WHO CARES! It was fun for me and my bffs and that's all that really matters!! Get this app!! And for all of you who r critisizing this app, ur mean!! At least it's free andbut has a good purpose!! So buy it it's free an fun!! Worth itwish I could give more
Nice guide to the stars.  By: TravelQueen13 - Dec 22, 2008 Version: 1.1 I love the fact that it clearly points out my knight it shining armor - Orion. Now if you locate one of these constellations in real time - such as one of the Dippers - you can find yourself easily - no GPS needed. The app is free so if you ever wondered what stars you are looking at then this app is for you.
In a future update, I would love it if you added the ability to tap or highlight a particular constellation and get some info about it.
But thank you for my personal guide to the stars.

Good start for the app but not complete  By: Tom Pace - 12-Jul-2009 Version: 1.2 This app is just about completely inspiring me to make my own app.
Unless I am missing something, this app does not use location service info to intelligently give the most simple star and constellation finder. I love the 3d sphere, but the way it controls is poor, and some update could make this app FAR more interesting and fun to use.
I recommend this app, especially because it costs nothing to try out.

Nice free star app  By: BashfulPuppet - May 13, 2009 Version: 1.2 For a free app this is very nice. The application does what it says. Some of the constellations are not complete in that not all the stars of the entire constellation are plotted but the most visible are there and thats probably what counts. It's simple to use and that's a plus. Some have complained that they could not find Orion. Well its there. The application adjusts the celestial equator to the clock on you device and that might put orion below the horizon depending on the time of year. The only thing I could wish for is some way to orient to a given location. that would certainly make it easier to use for star gazing newbees like me.

finding the constellations  By: astronomy apprentice - 27-Apr-2009 Version: 1.2 At last a really useful way to learn how to find the constellations: no need for a torch, no forgetting the book (because the iphone is always with you!) and a beautiful and simple program. Thank you!

SUPER APP  By: Tyler986 - Jul 27, 2009 Version: 1.2 Fantastic app! Worked flawlessly and love that it needed no network connection. Really was put to good use while laying on the Continental Divide and stargazing for hours. Was able to locate several constellations I woul not have found without this app.
Most helpful thing :)  By: Stick warrior king - Jul 21, 2009 Version: 1.2 Found many things and many stars :)
Showed my friends the con. And stars and planets. Greatest app :)
Great App  By: RAWHITNEY - May 10, 2009 Version: 1.2 Great app for beginners. My boys loved it. Can't beat the price.
Fantastic  By: Marisa S. - Jan 18, 2009 Version: 1.1 I've said to myself so many times, "I wonder what that star is called.." Now I know! This app comes in handy on those clear dark nights! <3 it
Nice app!!!  By: Juanchogln - Dec 23, 2008 Version: 1.1 I already knew about the pleyades from i was like 15 and something about Orion. Now I know about Taurus, Perseus and the anotherones around those. Right now all them are over my head in the nights.
Thanks.
Pd: I would like the option to do zoom and to setup the colors for the stars, names and lines.

It delivers  By: Who-an - Dec 14, 2008 Version: 1.1 True there are better applications but that doesn't make this one bad. I am enjoying looking up again. The best things in life are free
Thanks  By: Miopp3 - Dec 12, 2009 Version: 1.2 I love this app. Thanks
Simple Sweet Try it!  By: RainbowZebra - Oct 31, 2009 Version: 1.2 Does exactly what it says, and stays out of trouble. Get it.
Must Have for Stargazers  By: Smith42804 - Nov 7, 2008 Version: 1.0 Awesome app! Almost as good as apps costing $5-$10, and it's free! Thank you!
