Planets Software

I was tired of seeing expensive apps, huge downloads and apps with trial ware that promised me the moon but delivered a paywall or were extremely large downloads. I love this app. It was easy to setup as it knew my location, time zone and even got my compass orientation instantly to tell me which this app I was seeing. I love the “visibility” tab to quickly check when they are visible and the “unaided eye” setting which was on by default so I knew exactly what I was looking at. For example, Venus was just about to set right after sunset, and there were two other bright this app then the moon, but I wasn’t 100% sure which ones. Instantly I moved my phone up to the heavens and saw that it was Jupiter and Saturn, then of course the moon, following Venus. Even the phase of the moon was shown. Nicely done!!

This app has more features than I was expecting and they are great. The different features include Sky 2D, Sky 3D, Visibility, Globe, and options, where you can modify parts of the app to accommodate your use of it, and make it specific to you. The accurate and useful information is easy to access with the easy tabs at the bottom of the screen. The app uses the motion of your phone to create a 3D view of space. Further, in each planet is given its own description, where details are very specific and informative. There is nothing I would add!

I’ve been using this app since my first iPhone (3G) 11 years ago and it’s been the best, most dependable app I’ve used for identifying planetary placement and constellations, period. It has an incredibly simple interface, but it’s SO dependable and on point. And it’s FREE. I absolutely love the this app app. I always have it in my favorites, and use it constantly. It’s the first app I recommend to family and friends. Highly dependable and highly recommended. A+ in every way. Thank you so much the the developer, it’s beautiful!
