Starmap App Reviews

Awesome!! really cool!! I would like to update to the pro version And I thing it would be really cool if you could just have an in app purchas for the differnce between the two so i wouldnt have to pay fir the features I already have! Thanks

I purchased this last night and I was eager to try it. On a semi cloudy night with a bright jupiter I was able to orientate the starmap to the sky and I was able to many other planets and galaxies! I wish I had a 3g phone for the GPS function. I wish apple would provide a gps module for the older phone. I suggest maybe a compass to use this program best if you cannot find anything to orientate the map to. The panning works well. The map is a little laggy when you move with your finger but I am sure this will be fixed soon. I have had a telescope for about a year now and this is one of the best tools I have found so far.

Ive had my telescope for about two months and have been interested in looking up into the night sky for a while longer. This app has soooo much more to offer than many of the other apps in the app store. In fact this app reminds me of a program Id have on my MacBook. It has an incredible amount of useful features that Im still finding that make locating celestial objects easy as pie. I am looking forward to my first messier marathon and I know this app will make it much easier. One complaint about this app tho.. My neck is sore from constantly looking up =P

I was hesitant at buying Starmap because of the price, especially with other star programs out there that are less expensive. After having it and using it for almost a year, Ive got to say its still my favorite app by far. I still find myself sitting outside at night looking at the sky and using Starmap to locate stars and constellations. Its very user-friendly and although there are so many ways to personalize the settings (which is fun, too), its just as easy to download it and use the default settings. Youll never get tired of it, and neither will the friends you show it to!

Im a novice star gazer but I wanted to write this review mainly for the quick assistance that Frederic (the developer) gave me. The app. is very easy to navigate, but as I said the help which I received was exceptional. No sooner than I sent an email for support that I received a response. He even offered to help with an issue that was totally unrelated to his app. I was having update problems and he offered his assistance. In the future I will check out any app that this gentleman is associated with.

This app is so much fun and very easy to use. There is an easy to follow star map + options to identify planets, stars and constellations. A glass of wine, a starry night and this app is all you need.

This app is amazingly beautiful and now has been updated to be very fast! There are such a wealth of features only found on very very expensive desktop planetarium programs. I used to use GoSkyWatch until this one got its speed in scrolling around the sky up, and now this is by far my favorite astronomy app.

3 cuz after paying the money they havent even updated the graphics for the iPhone 4

The newest version is not functional. It goes into an endless loop in the Loading Objects start-up...

After upgrading to iOS4 for the ipod touch, it will not re-load on the ipod. It used to be a fantastic app. Now I cant even use it.

After update does not work, endless loading but never loads!!! Get it right!!or do not put it out....

Thanks to the recent bug fix, Starmap is once again one of my most used apps. Its the perfect tool for use with any telescope.

Ive had this app for a while, and I appreciate how you continue to update it. The new gyroscope support makes the viewport mode look super smooth! It still gets confused a bit when looking straight up, but a nice app all around.

I like this app! Just one thing, when I zoom in it lags a bit, and when I tap on an object I have to tap it more than once to get the info. Just those 2 very minor problems. I love the app and I love astronomy!

This is a great educational program, my kids love to sit in the yard with it. When I had the iPhone 3G the maps did not use to compas feature, so you had to know what direction to face, but now on my iPhone 4 it is just awesome, all you do is hold it up to the sky and youre there. I use it to find the planets all the time for my son.

I bought this app after realizing my initial interest in astronomy had started to grow. I needed something that could help me locate objects out in the field. The interface was really easy to get used to and I cant tell you how easy it made identifying visible objects and finding them with my telescope. Now as I become a slightly more serious amateur astronomer, I wish I would have gotten the Pro edition. Perhaps another day. The point is, this app exceeded my expectations as an astronomer getting into the hobby, and although still very useful as I grow with the hobby, the Pro edition has a few luxuries that many amateur astronomers would find very helpful.

This is probably the most "wow iphones are amazing" app I have. It really showcases how cool these phones are by utilizing all the properties that make it cool; the screen, the gps, the compass and gyroscope, the computing power. The interface is slightly complicated at times, but for stargazing it really is amazing.

So cool

The app is awesome but I had some trouble getting it installed. Apple was of NO help and referred me to the developer. Thanks for passing that off, Apple. Frederic answered my email immediately (even on a Saturday night) and helped me figure out what Apple should have. It had nothing to do with the software. Kudos to Frederic. I really look forward to playing with the software and as my husband and I are beginners, This app will definately help us get our telescope aligned.

This is the best app on my phone I love it and it may be better then the whole andromeda galaxy!!
