Grade A, very simple and exact. One can adjust the time and location with a simple point and click world map, or adjust your latitude and logitude with arrow keys. App could use a tiny help file explaining the features, but set the direction your palm faces (East W. N. S.)with the program and turn your palm upside down looking up at the sky and you will find the sky matches perfectly. Great little program!

This programme is pretty much spot on. It is hard to find fault in it's simplicity. The only thing I would like to see is a version that turns the white in to red so as to preserve our sensitive night-vision.

Brilliantly thought out program. Easy to use and complete. Great for learning the constellations and planetary positions. Color highlighting would be a real plus for the next revision as would adding a few of the popular deep space objects. Thank you Ivan!

Congratulations: This is just the program for amateurs astronomers I've been waiting for, I use Starry Night software for PC, and for mi palm M505 this works almost in the same way. Thank you.

I really like this one. My only beef is that the time doesn't automatically update. Would be nice to pull the time from my PDA and show me the current settings.

Fantastic program! No problems with my Handspring Neo. I've been looking for a simple program like this for years. Love the fact that it marks sun, moon and planetary positions from anywhere on earth (whole degree latitudes and longitudes) until the yr 2031. It appears to mark stars only to magnitude +4 or so. Constellation tracer is very cool. Two very minor quibbles: Does not show moon phase, but there are other programs for that. Alternate views (planasphere X2 and X3) could be better explained to the benefit of the more casual user. Might be very cool to be able filter out stars on the basis of magnitude to benefit the very casual user confronting city light pollution. This is a great program for casual stargazers (even intermediate stargazers), general science students, and travelers. Not detailed enough to navigate with. Cannot say enough good things about it.
