A hidden gem among the other star apps. I loved mostly its support for local multi language star names especially Arabic. One thing I still couldn't manage to do is opening this app on the website form from pc or mobile. I followed your example in the about section but no success.
I'VE used this brilliant tool for over two years. It's a Really Handy tool for anyone trying to get practice handling celestial coordinates. The developer regularly adds useful tweaks. Is also responsive to suggestions and questions by email. I often feel I should be paying for this. It's reliable and comprehensive. Remember to keep your field sensor tuned properly. Great for checking calcs. eg. Az. Alt. Amplitude. Works on ALL bodies - not just the 57 on the selected list. NEW.Reinstall in2022
I have not used this app for a long time and decided for another, now I am going through the settings I hope it will be better than the other app I sometimes use however when it asks what language you wish to decide for it was so limited unfortunately that makes the possibility of my partner taking an interest and although English is understood Romanian is not there? Personally I would have thought an app with the capabilities this seems to have I am disappointed in the lack of languages!!!
