This is a great app, very detailed and quick to respond to device movement. It's free and not over burdened with ads. Strongly recommended.

Provides all the information you and don't need. I find it very useful for astrophotography.
This app is amazing! Easy to use and smooth usability.
Amazing
Just starting out. Just help me find Orion's nebula with a 500 mm lens. A real Time saver!!
Useful to find and capture difficult objects in the city sky.
It's intermittent at best, needs work
