★★★★☆ FinallyI'm a professional mariner and have been looking for an app for celestial navigation for a long time. This seems likes good start, I hope some updates will include sailings and compass correction. Although a little pricey, it's nothing compared to the $80 app. I gladly took a chance downloading this app, and so far looks good.
I'm a big fan of celestial navigation and I hope for generations to come this art will be passed on. Now that my cadet days are over, and I'm in the world of coastw
★★★☆☆ BasicPretty much basic. Should make controls more user friendly and add GPS input for time, LAT & LONG as an option. Lacks sight planner and basic navigational mathematics like rhumb line and great circle sailing. No option for imperial/metric input.
★★★★★ Great App!I have been practicing celestial navigation since 1968 and have recently looking for a good application for my iPhone and iPad (even old horses sometimes learn new tricks). Celestial by Navimatics is well thought out and a snap to use after just a little practice; I look forward to using it on my next passage. I've run a bunch of star sights and sun line through the program and they all check out. There are a few tweaks and additions that will make the application even better and their customer
★★★★☆ BridgeManVery usefull apps, fast and easy to use. It helps saving time for calculations, especially to officers like me working on tankers doing celestial navigation in long voyages. There's one more lacking in this program, must have a compass correctors or determining compass error. Hoping to have this updates guys to make this apps complete... I recommend this to a friend....
