Star+Chart-

__//** Star Chart **//__ -This app requires iOS 7.0 or later. It is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices.

-This app is a virtual star chart. All you do is point your device at the sky and it will tell you exactly what you are looking at by giving you a star chart relating to exactly what you are seeing. Using the GPS your phone already has is give you an accurate simulation of the 3D universe. In the star chart each star is set to the exact time you look at the stars, it is all in real time, showing you exactly where everything is even if you can't see them or if it is day time. You can look at any part of the world by setting it to different locations and simply rotating the map.

-Star chart is a free app that anyone can download

-Star Chart has a Four and a half star rating in the App Store

-The audience this app is intended for seems to be more toward the beginners and student types but the app would probably benefit professionals and experts also.

- The location part of the app is confusing but once you figure everything out the detail the app gives you is amazing. It truly has everything even the things you don't see, but it does make it a little overwhelming to look at. If you are trying to just locate one specific star it gets a little tricky but if it is just for enjoyment and trying to see as many things as possible it is a good app. There are definitely easier and more straight-forward apps but Star Chart is a good one if you want to be impressed with how many things are in the sky.

-It is worth it if you have a true interest in astronomy or what is in the sky, if you need it for a astronomy class there are better apps out there, since it is free it is worth the cost but the time putting into setting it up is debatable because there are apps that have a faster set up process. I would give is a three out of five stars it is just an average astronomy app, it isn't the easiest app but it is workable with a little effort. From what I can tell the accuracy is pretty good considering it is a free app you cant really expect it to do it all but it does just enough with accurate information. You could definitely use it to do better in the class and it is completely relevant to the course but there is so much information on it it gets a little distracting from the point.
