Not for a beginner. Could use a help/tutorial on how to use it.
No planet search.
It is interesting that when activated that it shows the Southern Hemisphere while I am in the North and doesn't want to corporate when working in the North

I purchased this app because I thought I would get better functionality. Alas, I had to manually calibrate the location, because everything was in the wrong part of the sky. And unlike Google SkyMap, I can't search for objects. Like Google SkyMap, I can't search for satellites, like the International Space Station, which was the only reason why I purchased this app. So one must already know where objects are located in the night sky and what they are to identify them. Which begs the question, what's the use of this app?

My favorite Star Map for Win8 or Win Phone
9 June 2015
Any way to show the ecliptic plane?

SkyMap is OK, but the version on iPad includes satellites, which I think increases the value substantially over this version of SkyMap

nice :)

Powerful and fast and accurate

Horizon line doesn't change after time change. Navigation controls can become completely broken after setting a new date/time.

This is the greatest app ever made. The map is so real and detailed and educational.

Unfortunately every time I turn Sky Map on it fails to locate my GPS position. As a result it doesn't really work wary well.

This is absolutely a best buy for your Windows 8 OS! Your stargazing will benefit wherever you are with your handy laptop or compatible device and this app. Look to the skies! Good luck.

Could not calibrate or control view to match actual observations for a given date/time/location.

Great app
5 October 2014
Very poor hangsup a lot looses compass points

Not working , have to do it by hand and it sucks ... only 4 items in the task bar , missing allot of task bar items including the search button .. uninstalled and reinstated and rebooted to no effect

Unlike many desktop computer star chart programs, this one is simple with fluid fast response even on my aging laptop. However, when using a mouse to navigate, the map motion loses alignment with the mouse when the time is shifted away from the present. It would be a major plus to show the ecliptic as well.

This is so cool. Well worth what I spent, I cannot wait for it to get dark again.

free starchart is way better. do not waste money on this app.
23 May 2014
I had not found the menu.
21 May 2014
It took a little to get used to it as when hit settings the bottom part of that screen showed setting options for computer so was stumped on how to use it. But I really enjoyed watching the sunset on screen and also know what I was looking at in the nite sky.

Hola que tal, es bueno ya lo tengo en otra PC y pronto lo comprare para esta u otra.

Simple things like displaying the elliptic. Easier to find settings. Search for objects. Basically a very simple, star chart. Great for the novice. Useless if you have ever used a star chart before.

When I face East it says West on my map. Obviously there is a setting I'm missing, but can't figure out what it is
18 February 2014
When in compass mode stays 180 out.

The Sky Map is cool, but I was hoping that I could do more with it.

This is a nice program to look at, but is not accurate. When I am facing south, the program says that I am facing east. Since I want to use the program to see what the sky looks like at different times of the day and night, this is hard to use as it is. I don't think this problem has to do with my tablet, because I have a map program that pin-points me on the map where ever I am.
If it wasn't for this problem, this program would work well for me.
24 November 2013
where are the tools on the surface pro for this app that I have on my windows phone? Very limited on Surface Pro? What am I missing?
8 October 2013
My latitude and longitude are correct, but when I face East the app displays South. When I face South it displays East. Would really like to give it a 5 star but this is annoying.
