Beautiful breath taking pics  By: helipilot_rivera - Sep 29, 2009 Version: 1.5 Tittle says it all. Each day this App gives you a different photo related to Astronomy. The images are spectacular !!! Now, for those complaining that the images may be "too large", quit complaining! It's supposed to be that way! They are high resolution imges. If the were chopped to fit the iPhone screen then you would loose too much detail. Also, the other big plus is that the app will allow you to copy the photo to your iPhone pictures folder, which u can later sync with your computer and use the Astronomy pics as wall paper or screen savers.
Have you guys tried that with a mediocre resolution picture?The coputer would stretch the image so that it fits your screen. That's what makes this app a 5 star app. Great pictures each day, plus ability to save them in high resolution and ability to transfer to your mac or pc when synching.
With v1.4 this app is complete.  By: FyerEagle - 05-Jul-2009 Version: 1.4 Version 1.4 sure has made a difference to this app's usability. As you are now able to view the title of the picture and a decent description of each image, not to mention the fact the descriptions can be translated into 5 common languages, the dev team sure have listened and delivered. Anything else added in the future would simply be an added bonus.
Thanks and I have to say that I'll now be using this app more frequently.
Great App! Tons of cool pics!  By: I Like Muffins - Feb 12, 2009 Version: 1.0 This is a great app with tons of really cool pics! The pic on the preview page in the app store does it no justice. I didn't want to stop looking as nearly every pic had me saying wow and saving to my phone. Pics save in good resolution for making wallpapers too!
Only negative is the annoying ads they placed close to the next buttons. If you click them it closes the app. I understand they need to make $, but it is annoying none the less. Ads also take up valuable screen space as well. I would give it a 5 star if it didn't have ads!
Hopefully they will update without ads!
