Love it. Easy to view quickly where each wandering object in the sky is. Now during this rare Winter Solstice and many days around it the Jupiter and Saturnus are on top of each other and it's only possible to tap the other one as they are so together now. So it's only possible to tap the other when you adjust settings to hide the other. Not that that's a big deal but maybe something to tinker. :)

This is a great little app to quickly see what's up in the sky. The interface is minimalistic, intiitive, and it's great for determining any in depth research you might want to do before heading out to enjoy the night sky.

Excellent Work !!!, I use this as a natural clock. I find this way as the ideal way to see time. An ideal clock and calendar combined!!!.

Have tried lots of apps trying to find a simple guide to the night sky, without the clutter most of them have. Lucky to find one that does what it says on the tin.

Top Gun. Been looking for app like this for a long time. No silly bells and whistles, easy to understand, navigate and it's accurate. What's not to like. 👍👍👍👍👍

This app is fantastic! One small additional data point that would make it useful for a lot of users / star gazers is to know the current astrological sign of the planet in the tropical zodiac.

Really simple and informative app! Can quickly know what are the observable planets and their coordinates. No ads. Love it!

Almost perfect. A quick way to find out what's in the sky! The only thing I wish it had was a way to quickly scrub along time, so I can easily see when a certain planet is above the horizon
