Very nice astronomical app for an extremely reasonable price !! The only flaw I've noticed is that when zoomed in on an object, the data panel sometimes blocks your view of the object (try it with Saturn to see what I'm referring to). Overall, a very useful app and WELL worth the measly $.99 !!

Awesome, but needs minor improvements by Matt
I gave this app 4 stars because it is missing an essential feature that is available in this app for other platforms. First, would love to see the orbit path and direction when selecting planets or the Moon. Would also love to see objects such as satellites and their path/orbit, especially the ISS. UPDATE: 7/13/2016 Above mentioned items still have not been implemented, yet exist for android version of app and possibly for iPhone. Does not appear to be regularly updated. Haven't seen any new features in the last two years that I have been using this on WP. Now that Windows 10 mobile is out, it's high time to start making improvements. Mind you, these are not critical updates and the app functions flawlessly, but for those who are interested in tracking planets and satellites, these features are a must.

I've tried a few different star charts and so far this is my favorite. The mode that lets you scan the sky is super smooth, and the ability to point you in the direction of your desired star or planet is very nice. The only thing I wish it had was a moon phase calendar.
