Customer Reviews

Amazing (5 stars)
Love the new moon face mapping! The detail and beauty of this app are truly exquisite! It appeals to both novices and star nerds. Flawlessly done and much more superior to any star app I've seen. As inspirational an app as the story behind it! A must buy.

The time function is unbelievable!
