There are lots and lots of planetarium apps for iOS Henry - and ALL of them are better than Stellarium.

On my iPad/iPhone I run:

SkySafari Pro (my favourite, but the free and near-free versions are great too)
StarmapHD
Star Charts
SpaceMap
PocketUniverse
Distant Suns
SkyScan
Planisphere
Luminos
Redshift
AstroPlanner
SkyORB
S&T SkyWeek

and many others including a dozen or so moon/sun/planetary specialised apps as well. Do I need them all? No. They all too things differently, and I like to study their individual user interface design attributes.
