Track their flight across the sky, be it day or night, catch iridium flares. • Meteor showers are spectacular yearly events.

    What it can do is amazing .....but...lacks metro style implementation. In point to sky mode when you search for constellations it should remember the last selected so you shouldn't have to scroll down everytime you want to search for a new one. When you resume the app it takes a while to work again(about 2-3 secs). Some searches move my view direct to the constellation and cant return to the point to sky mode unless i restart the app( not every time...pretty rare but it happened). This are the things i noticed after 15-20 mins of using it. Ah..by the way, i am pretty sure Sun doesn't rises at 3:51 on 5th of April at 45degrees latitude(France, South Germany, Romania). Overall it has the most features compared to any app of its kind on WP but needs more work on the metro style implementation, small bugs and a bit of improved performance. Please don't take this as complaints or something bad, just suggestions to improve the app so I can give it the full 5 stars it would deserve

    Ported poorly to WP. Static sound at the background that drains battery
