    What a great app! I was searching for an app like this for a long time it's very simple and easy to use and it contains a lot of information that help me, but one thing that disappointed me is that the app is not having a widget it will be great if they add on.

    Wishlist: - Way to turn off the compass when looking at the skymap, to stabilize the screen and save battery. - Way to make the skymap occupy 95-100% of the screen, instead of the current 50%. - Allow rotating the skymap with two fingers, not just via compass. - Skymap's three concentric circles need degree numbers: 22.5, 45, 67.5. - Skymap lacks ecliptic arc.

    This the best app i have very seen with no ads and proper information This app would be even more great if you fix the skymap It is actually a bit hard to locate the Celestial objects using sky map This seems to move in a odd way which is completely different from the way we move our device Please fix this This is best app for young space scientist and astronomer

    No landscape mode for tablet means immediate uninstall. Could be a great app if not for that problem.
