Joan: I quickly got over the charm of free apps. They tend to be full of advertisements and some just quit working for no apparent reason. You should learn how to use the uninstall function in case you fall out of love with an app. You can go through many that way and just keep the ones that work for you. I sometimes download three at a time and uninstall the two that are duds. Also, again free apps often are not worth what you pay for them. Paid for apps like SkySafari are supported and updated and that's what it takes for an app of that size to be useful.

I am now the proud owner of a smart phone (the last cell phone was a flip phone - much like Star Trek's communicators). The members of this board have discussed astronomy apps for cell phones previously, but I am requesting a few, at least to start, "free" apps for astronomy. Any suggestions? _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
