Beautiful - Carry the universe in you pocket. (5 stars)
Just point your iPhone to the sky and you will know what stars and objects are there in stunning clarity.

Enter the name of a plant or a star and an arrow will point you to it.

Now I know why I need the gyroscope and the Retina display.

This is beautiful astronomy for everyone (with an iPhone or iPad with a gyroscope).

Thank you.

Fantastic app for night sky enthusiasts (5 stars)
This app is fantastic. Using GPS, Gyro and Compass, point at the sky and you'll see what you are looking at. I'm not knowledgeable enough about the planets and the stars but I have always been interested.

Movement tracking is so smooth. Graphics is just so beautiful, too.

This app is very, very well made. Five stars isn't enough.

Just incredible. I am very impressed.
