In 1987 Distant Suns first put the universe on your desktop. In 2010 it puts the universe in your shirt pocket. [Note: This version is better for pre-iPhone3GS level devices. If you have a newer device, ...
Best app on my phone                 Great app
Ive loved DS ever since I owned an Amiga                 Outstanding
Uses GPS compass and amazing computing abilities of the phone to make astronomy accessible and interesting Highly recommended                 Great use for iPhone
Pretty neat app Although I find it a bit more confusing to use than Google Sky its still fun to use No real problems encountered yet              Fun
Great app                 Distant suns
I like this app very much Its nice to be able to see and know whats up there especially regarding our own planets                 Very cool
The whole lineage of Distant Suns apps have been awesome this version is no exception                 Awesome
What happened to the ground picture that I loved Now all I can get is a line indicating the horizon Give me the choice back This causes me to loose three of the stars I used to have for my star mapping favorite This had been my favorite for several years Now Ilooking around again        Missing Ground
This app is great works offline and has many useful features and settings definitely worth my 99 I gave it 4 stars because it doesnt support iPhone 5 and its 4 screen              Astronomically better than competition
Im very happy with Distant Suns I have the iPod touch and can access nightly info even when Im not near a wifi connection                 Worth it
I have three astronomy apps installed right now This is my favorite I can easily choose an object and find out more about it and I use the Whats Up feature a lot I like the way constellation wireframes and illustrations arent distracting Thank you for a nice app                 Easy to use lots of nice features
Ive downloaded pretty much every astronomy app there is and this is probably the best and the one I use the most The sky is always aligned with it If it isnt just move the phone in an eight pattern and it will be Lots of options and features other apps dont have Use it to learn facts about each deep space object and it also shows great astrophotography pics of each Moving the times and dates around also is handing so you can see what will be showing where and when Totally worth the price                 Best astronomy app
Excellent app Love the compass feature to point at the sky and learn                 Great
I am pleased with this app it has a lot of interesting info and beautiful images of the universes wonderful mysteries But remember there is always room for improvement Stay safe                 Distant Suns
Thorough and thought out                 Its awsome
Ive been trying to update my purchased program for about 2 weeks and it wont allow me to update This was an AMAZING app prior to the upgrade What happened     Wont update
What a great app for all levels of astronomy lovers                 Excellent app
Awesome                 The best
How did this particular app balloon from 94MB to 234MB on a point release update from 246 to 247           Uh somehow these suns got real fat real quick
It took me about an hour to get it all figured out and set up the way I like and it took that long probably bc Im a newby to astronomy For the last month or so it has been the only app besides the phone that I use EVERY DAY or um night I cant say enough good things about this app I love it so much I would marry it if I was into that sort of thing Which Im not Update its been a couple years since I wrote that review I have since then used many other astro apps but I keep going back to this one because of its ease of use and tons of features Id like to give six stars                 Easy
Love it But I would like it if there was more then just a line for the horizon I keep losing track of where I am looking and end up trying to find stars below the horizon                 Distant suns
Very helpful to learn the night sky                 Great app
Disfruto ver las estrellas y los planetas con este app tengo la solucion para enfocar mi telescopio              Estrellas y planetas
It gives you everything you need to watch the sky and a bit more                 Nice little app
Display in night vision red Extremely accurate on placement Easy to use Great for a star party and to take the kids out at night when you can see the night sky                 Best star app available
A nice app on the iPhone but where is support for the ipad2     No support for ipad2s
Cool application              Distant Suns
Fantastic pocket guide of the night skies the ability to tweak the settings is great                 Distant Suns
Its really handy Wherever you are you always have a star chart and its not too bright so your eyes dont have to readjust when looking from chart to sky                 Very convenient
The best app I have ever had A look in to space is mind blowing                 Outstanding
Great program Easy to use                 Mr
I like it                 Great app
My favorite super cool                 Best features in star a chart
Frustrating to use Often find myself locked in a screen with no way to get back to a menu It used to work but recent UI changes have rendered the program a poor choice        Problematic Interface
This is a great app that I couldve used earlier in the summer But it works great anyways Wish you guys could make it where i could move my phone and tilt it towards the sky in different directions instead of moving my finger Great app though 4 stars bc no moving phone function as mentioned above              Works
It just crashes after the splash screen     Wont launch
Very good                 Cool get it
I just upgraded to the max version but wanted to comment on this version I occassionaly used this app for years but since rekindling my astronomy hobby I have found it to be an extremely helpful tool I have similar programs for my Windows tablet PC but this App is on my iphone in my pocket The night mode red display is really nice The more you use it and understand its nuances the more valuable a tool it becomes Great App Now Im looking forward to using the upgraded version                 Great tool for Astronomy Hobby
I have only played with it so far and it seems pretty cool Lots of features and fortunately really customizable I have no idea why there are options for 6 different lens flares which are just stupid annoying skeuomorphic nonsense and why the app is nearly 300MB           Interesting anyway
You can spend less and get less Meets my expectations              Worth the cost
Im very happy with Distant Suns I have the iPod touch and can access nightly info even when Im not near a wifi connection                 Worth it
Enjoy it a lot           Distant sun
The best Keep up the great work I look forward to your future versions                 Love it
This has been updating and trying to install for over two weeks It wont update I cant remove it from my iPad Useless and stuck with it     Beyond Useless
Great app              Love it
I know this app has gone through numerous revisions some with plus or minus points Overall this has been my favorite app as it displays TONS of information on every star in the sky with little effort I do get weirded out that I can only rotate the sky along certain planes But its based on math and physics I suppose One critique is that I wish the moon was clearer not really a complaint                 Best app I Own
As a physics teacher I recommend this to any and all of my students It works flawlessly and is great fun Thank you so much                 Exceptional
This is a great tool to have in the field The compass doesnt work if you are at a dark sky site with no cell signal but it s a great way to learn your way around the sky                 Na
Fun interactive app with amazing amount of information                 Interactive
