(4 stars)As long as you are scanning the horizon it works fine. If you raise it up it tends to switch to landscape mode and interrupts the app with a popup message. Disabling landscape mode fixes this. Nice app (5 stars) It easy to fined planet by camera in real time. User (4 stars) Very easy to use and well designed application. Great value. Like the ability to change from observing planets to stars while on camera screen. Highly recommend. Would like more data to show up on the selected info screens.
