Description

Is that a star or a planet? What time will the moon rise? Answer these questions and more with this easy to use app.

If you need a quick way to determine if you should bother setting up your telescope, or just want to know if that bright 'star' is actually planet, this is an app you'll find very useful.

What's Up? displays the locations of the Sun, Moon and planets on a simple grid display representing the sky. There is no augmented reality, no motion tracking: just take a peek at the display and know what's up.

(For a complete 3D rendered augmented reality and motion tracking solution, please try the award-winning companion app 'Pocket Universe').

Slide the time-bar forwards or backwards to see if your favorite planet is going to appear soon, and from which direction.

If you already own Pocket Universe, this app is similar to the "Currently Visible" display mode, but - dare I say it - a little prettier, and quicker to use.

Features

* Moon phases are displayed.
* Link to Wikipedia Page for more in-depth information.

Please note: Localizations are limited to Planet names.

Just what I expect from the maker of Pocket Universe

This app is wonderful and just as great as Pocket Universe. I really like it that it opens Pocket Universe when you tap on a planet. The only thing I don't like is that it is that the graphics are not retina-ready....yet.

Terrible...

Why isn't this App part if Pocket Universe, it's pointless, the developer is obviously trying to boost poor sales of Pocket Universe and make a quick buck out of this app that doesn't really do anything, it doesn't even show you where the planets are, just says "it's up"! And you want people to PAY for this...? Make this free, that's all it's worth.. It doesn't do anything worth a cent...
