Star Atlas App Reviews

When pinch-zooming the chart there is a disconcerting spring back effect where it reverts to a previous size--and the labels jump helter-skelter between sizes. At a certain point, the display jumps again, the labels get HUGE, then settle back down. Its really good otherwise-- a variant on the planetarium idea--this is a set series of charts showing you enough to star hop to key objects. Take a look at Tri Atlas as well--also free, black and white area charts. Of course this fixed chart approach may not be your cup of tea -- if thats the case go for for Sky Safari Plus, the best designed, full featured astronomy star charting++ app.

Im very new to star gazing, but what Ive learned is that understanding maps like these is essential ( not just holding a phone to the sky). So glad for a quick reference to study -- index and more--...and a bargain to boot. Thanks!

App is not accurate when compared to the apps that cost sweet sweet cashesh

Presents the sky in 18 separate charts. Wish I could "scroll across the sky" to adjacent charts. Would be nice to filter out objects of lesser magnitude. On the other hand, seems a lot of messiers dont even show, but for having a yellow circle around them -- would be nice to see some kind of smudge or cluster-cloud there.

worthless

If this app could scroll like other star-viewing apps, it would be a whole lot better. It does let you scroll a little, but you cant scroll in all directions. Its an okey app thats for free.
