Description
Planisphere is an astronomy application that lets you use pinch and finger gestures to manipulate a map of the sky. As you zoom in finer detail comes into view. You can double tap on objects to get more information. You can use the compass and accelerometer to show the sky in the direction the phone is being held for the selected time.
Planisphere shows all 88 constellations and their boundaries, 9096 naked eye stars, the Messier deep sky catalogue, the Sun, Moon, planets and the now dwarf planet Pluto. These can be searched and then displayed if above the horizon for the selected time. Rise and setting times are available for all named objects.
The date, time and location can be changed. With GPS you can find your location or you can click on a world map or select a city. There is also a realtime mode that will update to the current time. You can also set a Night Light' which gives the map a red tint for nighttime viewing.
Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn atlases are also available on the App Store.

JustinLP18,
Just needs one fix
Downloaded this app for my astronomy lab. Cool app, everything is really clear, but the GPS function does not work. My phone's GPS is completely functional when I use maps, compass, etc., but not when I use this app. I'll point it clearly at one constellation and it will give me a completely different one. No complaints about anything else in the app. If this one fix is made, it'll be perfect.
Bejew,
Good Concept but needs much improvement
The idea is great but the calibration is inaccurate and there is no option to recalibrate at will. If calibration issues are fixed I would highly recommend this to friends. I hope to see some updates.
ampullae,
A winner
Does what it says. Lot's of layering options including deep sky objects so you can focus on what you want and leave out the other stuff. Very reasonable price. Nightlight. Nice job. I recommend it. Made for someone that will use it in the field.
D10067,
Great app!
This is a great app to play around with! Works great! I just wish I could choose a specific date to view directly instead of going hour by hour into the future or past. Other than that minor issue, I love it!
PeterNyblom,
Needs work
The compass function displays incorrectly
Fank the Tank,
It works
It's works, not a super awesome app, but for 99cents it's good. If you have an astronomy class it comes in handy or if you just like to know what's above you.
Nateo2,
This is great fun!
I play around with this with my grand kids. It teaches them while having fun. Great app
Dave Beard,
Planisphere!
Very happy with this program; it does exactly what I want without a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles!
Bozocity,
Well conceived, expertly coded
This app has five-star underpinnings, the kind you'd expect from a developer whose Moon Map is coded as a fully rotateable, zoomable, rendered sphere, rather than just a bunch of photographs. With so much information presented with such clarity and ease of use at such a low price, this new entry is poised to become a favorite. Experienced astronomers will want it as a comprehensive quick reference, and beginners will be well rewarded with a fine download worth well more than its $0.99.
This first release feels perfected like a third or fourth update, especially with its simple, efficient operation. Even so, for its fifth star, I'd like to see more flexible hiding of objects not of current interest, to render the display easier to read: dim stars, constellation boundries, and the like. I'd also appreciate if the delicate images were beefed up for forty-year-old eyes.
Such a fine astronomy app at this price point could tip the curious into becoming ametuer astronomers. Support this developer. He deserves it.

A Note to Dave Moore of South Boston:
Serious planetaria (star charting apps) do not list Earth because they look outward; they list other objects one can see from Earth at a given time. Orreries (apps showing the relative motions of the planets) do show Earth, because they look inward, as though from outside the solar system, with Earth just another object to be studied. A few planeteria list the Earth as "always visible," a corny joke that can confuse beginners, an important clientele that deserves more respect. It sounds sarchastic, but is not: It's understood that if you want to see the stars and Messier objects, look up using Planisphere as a guide, but if you want to see the Earth, look down at your feet.
