Where’s North
This is a fun app for iPad. However, there is a problem with it finding North. It’s direction finding capabilities are not always accurate. It’s often so unstable, that I can hold it in one position only to find that it is turning to a different direction. As suggested with the compass app, I’ve turned and twisted the iPad. But the problem still remains.
United StatesGood but still needs some improvements…
So it’s not easy to say but I use this, but, it’s not that good from an update standpoint.
United StatesAmazing visibility!
This app is glorious, it shows you exactly where everything is from the sun to the moon. The constellations, planets, everything! With this app, I finally got to see where my zodiac constellation is, and what it looks like! I especially love the globe feature, so that you can see what parts of the world are in daytime, and nighttime! I am definitely recommending this to my family, and my cousins who love astronomy/space!
United StatesGreat app
This app is definitely a must have. It tracks the planets, the sun and the moon. Great.
United StatesPlanets!
If you are interested in planets and where they are in the night sky, get this app. It’s not overly clutter w constellations. Not perfect but darn close.
United StatesEssential Sky
You have to dig into this app just a bit to find all the functionality. Tap on everything. Worth playing with as it has replaced 5 other night scan apps and is simpler and more intuitive.
United StatesNot dependable for even the most basic info
I used to depend on this app for knowing moon phases and I missed the full blue moon rise because this app said it was the next day. I also noticed that it said the moon phase was waning the day before the full moon, which is not possible. That is unacceptable.
