Astromo app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: gandreas software
First release : 11 Jul 2008
App size: 3.7 Mb
The locations of the heavenly bodies are just a touch away - see where in the zodiac the Sun, Moon and visible planets are, sunrise/sunset times (including twilights). Drag the Sun to "turn back time" (or move the zodiac to watch the years fly by), or set a specific date/time to see conditions at other times. Switch to the armillary to get the more detailed star map of the heavens, or the ephemeris to get even more detailed information about exact locations and details. And Astromo uses the devices location to know exactly where you are for its calculations, so youll always have the most accurate information.
