For something free, quick and easy, when I just want a general idea of where the moon will be, what time the planets rise etc, I use Sky & Telescopes interactive sky chart.
Just go to the S&T site, click on the "interactive sky chart", make sure you enter your lat/long and timezone, and there it is. Just change the date/time and it shows you your sky.
Very handy for the quick peek at major stuff.. it doesn't zoom in or go into any detail of most deepspace objects, but it will show comets, meteor showers etc.
I use it often at work to see when stuff will be rising that night or the next morning, so I can plan my observing/imaging sessions.
