It seems to me the author is a bit confused as to what he's trying to deliver - a sky simulator for the classroom, an electronic skychart to use outside at night (its not a decent substitute for Sky Atlas, its far too awkward on a tiny screen) or a telescope controller. IMHO its not advisable for a single app to try to be all three in one. For a start its user interface is way too bright to use outside in the dark and lacks a nightvision mode, so kiss your nightvision goodbye.
Too many nitpicks to go into here but IMHO StarMap Pro is far better if you want something to use at a scope in the dark.

Good to hear your feedback. After following the development of Voyager over the past few years, I know that Tim and the mob there react very swiftly to user input. I'm pretty confident that this app (which surprised everyone - it was never even mentioned until release) will mature over the next little while. Too bright? Tell them. They'd appreciate the info!
