Review
The application offer two modes: one is AR-like and you have to move your mobile in the direction of what you want to explore. The other one makes no use of the sensors of the mobile, and works like a sky chart.
Augmenting reality is the strongest point of this app, however it would be much better if additional information and real images where attached to sky objects.
