Bas,
I've got a couple of suggestions. First, and this could just be my phone, is there a way to turn of the keyboard vibrate? I'm running ICS and I've turned off both keyboard vibrate options. Other apps use the standard keyboard but yours seems to use a custom keyboard.
Next, a setting to disable the auto-download of the image would be great. I observe from a lot of locations where I don't get good service so the phone will be in airplane mode most of the time. It seems to slow down main screen if there is no network and the mag and FOV calculations don't update. If I could just disable the picture download I'd be much happier. I could also see an option for caching images if that's not already happening.
Finally, and this is without using the app in the field, I think it would be great to be able to enter one or more lists of objects, either through the UI or through an import screen. Then in place of the object on the main screen you could select your observing list and the first object on the list would be displayed. Some navigation buttons or a swipe could move back and forth between objects. It would be cool if my list contained objects from one of your supported catalogs if the images could be downloaded and cached for later use in the field. I can think of lots of cool ways to link the lists to objects and observations. It would be a great way to track progress against your Messier or Caldwell lists.
I'll let you know how things work after I use it in the field.
thanks,
JL
