Tried Uranus instead, though
iAstronomica - too simple. There's also "Astronomer", also trivial. StarMap and Uranus show a lot more.
Uranus offers more stars and DSO's but is a pig to use - very slow to draw the sky and its response to dragging is just awful. If the developer can fix that, and add more deep sky objects, it is a promising start.
Couple of thoughts:
- alternative to Uranus, with a more useable UI, more deep sky objects;
- strap the iPhone to a scope and use it as a crude finder, (use the accelerometers and GPS),
- bluetooth interface to an LX200 might be nice too.
