Planisphere 4+

Constellation boundaries make the overview cluttered and difficult to read. No ecliptic is a major omission I think. Zoom feature is nice, but if a closer view is needed, apps such as Star Walk are far superior. Good value for a few pennies, but not enough here to persuade me to give up my paper planisphere.

I found the Planisphere one of the easiest to use to navigate the night sky.
My only problem with it was the ability to read the names of stars/ features in night mode; the colour, plus the fact that no matter how far you zoom in, the words stay the same size( small).

I found planisphere searching thru the astro apps and, despite a lack of ratings took the plunge for 59p.
Very glad I did. It's brilliant and much more than the 'first astronomy app' I was expecting.
The nightlight feature is very usef though if you flick to settings they are the iPhone default and rather blinding.
Another minor jiggle is a lack of distance from earth for objects - but maybe this is not in the database?

Navigating the planisphere is very simple and intuitive and double clicking an object brings up an info panel. The search feature works very well and the constellations and labelling is very nice too.

As a fellow app developer I appreciate the time and effort that must have gone into this app and I sincerely wish the developer well with it. Hopefully another review might give it the prominence it deserves over many of the more expensive competitors. Cheers.
