Pros and cons of Redshift - Astronomy app for iPhone and iPad

Redshift - Astronomy app good for

The best tool in the field, amazing graphics and 3d tours! Great way to discover our univers! Bravo!

A beautiful and engaging product, with stunning graphics. The 3D fly-by mode makes particularly good use of satellite-derived planetary maps, for a truly immersive experience. Redshift truly manages to squeeze a fully-functional mobile planetarium into an iPhone!

I love this app but, you should be able to rotate around the planet without the sky getting all messed up. Also I seen on another astronomy app, if u point your iPod to the north and use the accelerometer, its basically the same thing as the compass, please add and fix these, then this will be the best astronomy app. I love the grand tour and I like you you can go to distant stars. Thats awesome.

Awesome app, But how do you get the integrated compass on it??? And when I change the year really fast the app closes. P.S., HELP MEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ran this app on both iPhone 4 and iPad 2 hooked up with the hdmi out and both output at 1080p (or at least 720p) 16:9 ratio. Its a good way to see it on the big screen. Right now its one of the few apps I have that have widescreen output on the HDTV

This astronomy map is awseme, the search engine is great. Please add Renfrew Canada, Ontario to the location in the app in the next version of the app

Some bad moments

Now it just crashes. Will get 5 stars when it works again cuz it used to be one of the greatest apps I had. Update now.

This is a very cool app. One request I have is to include alternate constellation outlines. Specifically, Id love to see the outlines done by H.A. Rey in his fantastic astronomy book The Stars. H.A. Rey redraws all the constellations to actually look like the thing they represent. His drawing have been widely adopted. It is how I and probably millions of others out there learned the stars. I would love to see them used in this fantastic app.

This app is pretty much perfect. Its kind of expensive but after you use it you will know it was worth every penny. Real time tracking on comets, the space station, and planet locations. You can easily set the date ahead and plan your next outing with your telescope beforehand and know what to look for and where it will be. With the options you get with this app they could easily charge twice of what it currently sells for.

Love the ap. use it with my university students both on the screen and out doors.

Its a very useful app that lets you find whatever that bright dot in the sky is that youve been looking at. Very nice mechanics that are easy to use once you learn them.

I dont write a lot of reviews but when I do its because I believe it deserves one.
