The times certainly have changed. I remember back to when I got my Mac in the mid 80s and back then it was us Apple people wishing this or that program were written for Apple. 'Course that was when you could buy Apple stock dirt cheap. Oh, if only I've invested then I'd have a much bigger plane today. :) BTW, here's a comparison shot of my current Mac sitting next to me first (yep, the first one still works), http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/oldnew.jpg patrick On 07 Mar 2013, at 14:30, william baker wrote:
I have downloaded onto an iPad, and yes it is pretty cool. I just wish it was written for Androids as well.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for posting.
I didn't really need yet another astronomy app but the price was right. :)
I tried it out on both my ancient iPhone and my not quite so ancient iPad 2. I liked it better on the iPad simply because it was easier for my old eyes to read the text.
Seemed to work fine on both devices. I'll give it a more thorough workout when next the weather cooperates.

(not a customer, not even downloading it, but I thought others would at least like to know)
