Pros and cons of StarMap 3D app for iPhone and iPad

StarMap 3D app good for

"Celestia in the pocket !!! " Does exactly what it claims, with a simple interface ... Attention : dont mismatch your comments : this soft is not a replacement for starmap or starwalk. It must rather be compared to Celestia, because it is a 3D navigator. Thanks to the authors and bravo !
Amazing app for all lovers of dark nights sleeping outdoors !
Very very very good!!!!! Im happy with this app....it help me in many situations....easy to use and complete. Thanks Edward
Simply stunning! Even for those like me who doesnt know deeply astronomy. Apps worthy
Great app but wish the sun moon and other planets didnt look like just another star. And also have the planets in the catalog maybe. Other than that its a great app. But I can see myself upgrading to a better one soon.
perfect for any star gazing or info unless you have NASA-like needs

Some bad moments

I have downloaded several stargazing apps and this one is by far the most inaccurate as far as proper calibration.
The app tells me my garage outside light is the moon! Really?!?
With a full moon tonight, I should easily locate it. I can see it, but the app is at least 5 inches off from eyesight. Happens with other stars -- I dont think it locates accurately, not sure why. I really wanted this to work also.
