Pros and cons of Milky Way: Sky Map app for iPhone and iPad
Milky Way: Sky Map app good for
I must say that this app beats Google Sky in terms of presentation. Beautiful background and drawings of known constellations.
I used the app for over an hour continuously and did not encounter any problems at all. Very impressive work!
I was just showing my 11 yr. old son the Swan and the Lyre in the sky through the trees! Worked great! cant wait to use it camping! Had no problems at all
Best star/planet locating app I have ever used. Works fine on my iPhone 4.
I recommend this "star gazing" app to everyone!
Its really great app for all enthusiasts who are look up at the sky!

Bardzo fajna aplikacja. Prosta w obsłudze ale bardzo użyteczna.
Very cool application. Easy to use but very useful.
Some bad moments
Just purchased and it will not open Says must be on. Have rechecked all systems and yet still will not open Very poor site
Dont bother. Very disappointing. Doesnt work at just like the first review said. Zero support from the company.
Good sky view , but if you review a celestial object information its not possible to go back to sky view again and it freezes your device.
I saw my friend had bought the Milky Way app and played it the whole evenings at the party. I love it! Pure and cool design. Works also on ipad. My children also love to play it. Probably the best app for astro-learning and education.
This is great app for beginners and just for looking at the night sky easy controls its great. I dont understand the poor reviews it must be people who overpayed for sky safari this app is way cheaper and just as good just get it your kids will love it.
Its free and works well, sometimes it needs to be restarted to find its bearings. I have no idea how other apps like this work but I m content with Milky Way
