Uninstalled in 30 sec. Wouldn't even let me look at the other reticle, or test any settings. A trial period would be better than a fixed screen and "if you want to see what's in the app, pay immediately" What a joke, if I could try actually try it out, and it's decent, I would buy. But I can't try it out

Useless "free" app. Can't do anything with it. Read developer's response to same issue, garbage, developer responses are rude. I'd rather use an app that actually is free and actually shows altitude, GPS, and position of Polaris, like Polar Alignment.

Useless app. Nothing adjustable and doesn't work with many polar scopes. I also purchased the pro version and it is just as useless.

The Sky Watcher Reticle was removed from the free version, which did make me upset, however I think it is a worthwhile investment to get the pro version because it is a useful tool I use every day. Until I purchase it I will use something else. I like this one in particular though because of the different recticles.

Completely unuseable, uninstalled immediately. Software does not work without GPS. Needs manual input of GPS Coordinates

I understand ad banners, I actually make an astro app for iOS with a small banner, but the fright a sudden bright full screen video ad with loud music gave me in the middle of the night in the darkness was more like a bad prank, especially because the close button "X" was black on charcoal/black impossible to see! People will get the pro version if the free doesn't piss them off...

About this app

This application allows you to carry out a precise stationing of the mount also excellent for astrophotographers and works in both celestial poles.
In the menu settings or button settings you can choose to exclude the gps and enter customized coordinates and / or even a particular date and time so as to know in a given place the exact position of the polar (northern hemisphere) or sigma octantis (southern hemisphere) (ONLY WITH THE PRO VERSION).
Therefore also useful to know the culmination of the polar for a particular place directly on the field without having to resort to third applications.
Once the position has been calculated, the polar image will be shown exactly as it should be set in the polar telescope.
Remember this app in the free version requires GPS while with the pro version you can do without it.
For any problem, clarification, suggestion or improvement send me a mail thanks and ...
Clear Skies!
