    I think it's a good tool. However, did not work for my Amazon Fire 10, even though Google Store claims it should. Seems to be working for my phone, but that's a smaller screen than I was hoping to use.

    Hands down the best app for star hopping. Field of view and object visibility calculations are pretty accurate. Star chart is packed with information, with no attempt to make it look photorealistic. The latest update finally hid the bright white navigation bar. Five stars! The menus are a confusing mess, but honestly that's a minor gripe when the rest of the app is so great.
