I use it all the time. Depends on what you want to do … but if you have a telescope that you want to control with an iPad or iPhone, then I think SkySafari from Southern Stars is the best.

On my opinion (I consider myself amateur) Star Walk leads - specifically the last updates are very nice.

Dont buy this app, its still slow and buggy. Apple should QA this stuff before allowing it on the app store. I just downloaded it, wish Id seen this review before and not after.

It is more of a advanced app but it is very well done and works great. Check it out!! I got one that was called astrolabe. It is more of a advanced app but it is very well done and works great.

The designer changed his graphic engine and it now runs fast and doesn't crash. He's also released Starmap Pro, an incredibly powerful app for the serious amateur astronomer. The others each have serious flaws. Check out the reviews on iTunes and the excellent, though outdated, review mentioned earlier. Your review needs to be updated!

In my opinion they're all good but have different strengths and weaknesses. And they can all still be improved quite a bit. We're very fortunate to have such a diversity of apps to choose from!

It embraces all good features of the old ones and brings new experience to digital star gazing. It is spared of all the bugs people continue cimplaining on, like poor location or sluggishness. And it also very cheap. Smart choice. If speak of the best astro app, i’d certainly say it is Star Walk.

Its graphics is awesome. I specifically like the Time machine when I spin the day or month wheel and see how the picture of the sky will be changing in the near future. Starmap was the first app I bought but is just kept crashing, and it is sooo slow. I can't use it any more after Star Walk. It is well spent $5.

I noticed slight lag at the beginning but usually that's it. Tons of new features and settings and the creator really took early suggestions to heart and tried to incorporate them into the app. You can even overlay red to preserve your night vision. If you like stargazing, or just looking up, it'll be 12 dollars very well spent. Starmap has come leaps and bounds from it’s original clunky self.

I guess I'll just have to hold out for the next version and see if it's been fixed!

I'm amazed of the incredible graphics all of them seem to have. The accuracy of where all these planets and stars are located at certain parts of the day is just amazing. I also enjoy using programs like Stellarium. It is an awsome application that lets you view certain areas of space at certain times of the day. You could even go right to your city and look up. There you can see what constellations and planets are around where you live. Astronamy applications just keep on coming out. I’m amazed of the incredible graphics all of them seem to have.
