Reviews: What People Think About Planisphere

Downloaded this app for my astronomy lab. Cool app, everything is really clear, but the GPS function does not work. My phone's GPS is completely functional when I use maps, compass, etc., but not when I use this app. I'll point it clearly at one constellation and it will give me a completely different one. No complaints about anything else in the app. If this one fix is made, it'll be perfect.

The idea is great but the calibration is inaccurate and there is no option to recalibrate at will. If calibration issues are fixed I would highly recommend this to friends. I hope to see some updates.

Does what it says. Lot's of layering options including deep sky objects so you can focus on what you want and leave out the other stuff. Very reasonable price. Nightlight. Nice job. I recommend it. Made for someone that will use it in the field.
About Planisphere
Planisphere is an astronomy application that lets you use pinch and finger gestures to manipulate a map of the sky. As you zoom in finer detail comes into view. You can double tap on objects to get more information. You can use the compass and accelerometer to show the sky in the direction the phone is being held for the selected time.
Planisphere shows all 88 constellations and their boundaries, 6096 naked eye stars, the Messier deep sky catalogue, bright NGC objects, the Sun, Moon, planets and the now dwarf planet Pluto. These can be searched and then displayed if above the horizon for the selected time. Rise and setting times are available for all named objects.
The date, time and location can be changed. With Location Services you can show the sky as it appears from your exact location or you can click on a world map or select a city. There is also a realtime mode that will update to the current time. You can also set a Night Light' which gives the map a red tint for nighttime viewing.
Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn atlases are also available on the App Store.
