I use the mobile observatory - wasnt free but i find its pretty good- was about £5 with no adverts. I also use it on My I pad and its great on that too.

Sorry to high jack this but I'm also interested but for ipad do they require Internet connection ?

Star walk is excellent and quite accurate

Luminos works great for me. Can plan all my sessions and create check lists of views

My sister has star map on her iPhone. I've had a bit of a play with it and it seems very good. I've put the free version on an iPad to play with. I think the pro version is about 15€ which seems to be the one to go for for both iPhone and iPad. There is a standard version which is about 9€ and an HD version just for iPad which is about 25€. Obviously less money gets you less catalogued items.

I was thinking of getting an iPhone and this app just may be the thing that pushes me to buy.

I sent a request for info to the developer via e-mail and got a reply in 10 minutes! Apparently 1 licence covers you for up to 5 devices.

I've got a few, but Star Walk is the one I use most. I also have Stellarium, too, that is a must.

Another + for Star Walk.

No once its loaded it will work - its uses the internet for updates

Starwalk here.

[Gomtuu]

yup, Starwalk for me

[mallorcasaint]

Sky Safari for me and also pUniverse

[dephelis]

StarmapPro (£11.99) gets my vote. Every bit of functionality you will need, and wipes the floor with the rest

Thank you

Looks like Starwalk gets a few votes. Is it just an i pad app, or would it be OK for a Samsung pad. I've got SkEye on mine but haven't found my way round it yet.

quite like the look of Sky Safari and connecting it to the telescope to guide viewing etc.... this is what technology is all about :0)

[johnnytomorrow]

I have Star Walk and Sky Safari - both good
