Excellent

Fantastic...Best App ever

I've gone off this app. You have to tell it what time it is, it doesn't have a live view... You can't just point it at an actual object and it tells you what's going on. It's a bit of a pain tbh. 🤬

I seem to be having a difficult time accessing a feature of the app I used before: a real time map of the sky when I point my device at it.

Benjamin Howard

An excellent balance between including a lot of valuable astrometric data, while still allowing quick and easy reference. A joy to use.

Robert Fletcher

This app is by far the best there is for portability. Quick and easy. Droid razr 8-24-21 Still using it.

So it's 2021 and after reading a few post I think I see why no one has returned my request for upload of paid app, previously bought.. looks like you have to keep buying it from what other comments have said correct me if I'm wrong Mr developers but I've paid for this app and recently got a new phone and this is one of my apps that I have yet to get back that I've already bought, I was really enjoying the app but if you expect me to pay you again I will move on down the line.

If any of you Google Users out there want to monitor the Axis Forces' attempts at slinging asteroids at Manhatten, you could do a lot worse than to download the Mobile Observatory 2 App for Android!
