Latest reviews of Sky Above app for iPhone and iPad

very good
I had been looking for an app like this for some time. Even I got the hang if it, so its pretty user-friendly! Cant quite get the night sky as seen thru the phone cam to coincide with the display (scale problem?), but Jupiter was still clearly identifiable, to the left of the Moon - and thats the kind of thing I wanted to know. Im sure Ill use it on many clear nights.
This is great!!
I use it all of the time!! Get this app, you wont regret it
Hard...
Extremely difficult to use! Cannot be viewed in LANDSCAPE mode/ pop-ups hide in a corner without it being fully seen. Waste of money. I shouldnt have bought it. Awful shame!
