5 ★ I like it because you can just open the app and know which moon you are looking at
5 ★ Fab app
4 ★ I really like this to plan viewing. I would also suggest being able to invert image for telescope view. The one major issue I have is when forward or reverse with finger swipe in small increments on screen the clock doesn't update with the moon positions. I would like to be able to find a frame such as when a moon is in middle of transition or two moons eclipse each other and then see what time that is viewable.
2 ★ I'd never been aware of seeing the Great Red Spot, so having this app available meant I could plan my session with that in mind. Did exactly what I wanted. Just downgraded it to 2 stars because the adverts are really intrusive. Noisy, Long, Unwanted. This is a great app, horribly spoiled by adding adverts.
4 ★ Quick and easy to see what's happening at Jupiter. Would like it even more if you could freeze the viewing angle so we could zoom in without accidentally changing the angle. Love that it shows the GRS accurately as well as the moons.
3 ★ Nice bit of work. However not totally useful for astronomy. The perspective is from near Jupiter and not Earth. Still good for the GRS though. And free so can't complain. Also it slips a lot. The controls are a bit fiddly on my phone.
3 ★ I installed the app a while ago to show someone what I saw through a telescope and it was great. Opened it some months later and there is an obnoxious flashing white ad telling me my device's memory is full. Not only is it a scam ad, but it ruins the great experience of the app. I'm not against monetizing apps, but this severely degraded the app. I did notice an option for in-app purchase as I uninstalled, so maybe you can purchase a way to remove ads. Dev, you might want to let users know this.
5 ★ This is a very simple clearly understood app for seeing what happens with Jupiter and it's Moons. A way of flipping the FOV to suit different telescopes and eyepieces would be a good upgrade, plus seeing the shadows of the Moons on the disc of Jupiter would be a nice add on too or you could miss seeing a shadow transit by not knowing about them. All in all one of the best
5 ★ This little app is simple to use and does exactly what I wanted. It shows Jupiter and it's moons as they are and let's you run a simulation of their positions in the future. You can see when the next sighting of the great red spot as well. Jupiter is my favorite planet and this is one of my favorite apps now.
5 ★ I was wondering when I could look through my telescope and see the Great Red Spot. Now I know :) And nicely presented to. I reckon a reset button would be great.
4 ★ I love the app, useful to show newbies what they are looking at... I really wish to "reset perspective" button want hidden, and there was a way to lock the perspective to live, so I could zoom in and out freely without worry.
5 ★ I am now able to identify the individual major moons of Jupiter with this handy app.
1 ★ Crashes as soon as its opened
5 ★ This app is great for my lesson at school learning about mars and other planets
5 ★ It really helps me plan my photography sessions.
