Pros and cons of Luminos app for iPhone and iPad

Luminos app good for

Desservi par une icone qui ne donne pas forcement envie, la qualité de lapp est excellente.. Superbe presentation, superbe contenu, apres avoir tout acheté, cest celle que jutilise au quotidien. Fantastic app (with a not so beautiful icon, but that do not represent what you will have inside!). Fantastic app, the one I use after having bought all the others. Great work!
Use your iPad like a telescope pointing it to the direction you want to explore. Also, use it to find objects and, then, point your telescope to watch them.
forget about all the other stargazing apps. Luminos is the one youve been looking for! it allows you to do whatever you want; land on planets, or orbit with them; speed up time (back and forth); see the beautiful images taken by hubble, see the stars, constellations, satellites… and endless information about every little thing. its really worth buying.
Ive tryed several planetary apps, and Luminos really caught my attention. Its the best! Its worth buying it and taking your devide to the field for an observation session with Luminos.
Really great astro app. Many features and perfect UI experience. Support was really fast and friendly. I would rate it with even 6 stars if possible.
Very useful for astronomical excursions. This App allows to look for observable asteroids, comets, planets, moons, satellites for the observation-night. Nice are the checklists for Messier, Herschel400 and Caldwell-Objects. But a tiny error: the coordinates of Ceres are different if you to look them as a dwarf planet or as an asteroid. The error was today about 2 minutes in RA and 14 minutes (!!) in Deklination. Too much....

Some bad moments

Looks Great but wont control my AP mount with CP4. Connects but wont slew, park or do anything. Says timed out. Other competitors app works fine with mount.
This is hands down the BEST astronomy app on iOS. It might have the flashiest UI, or glittering effects, but its still darn pretty and is the most feature packed app of its kind. Ive bought almost all of them, including Redshift and Distant Suns, but this one is the only one that remains on my phone. To the devs, thank you. Sincerely. To everyone else, youd be doing yourself a disservice to pass this one up.
Over all it is a fantastic application and I highly recommend it. I had been using Planetarium for Palm OS for many years to track what was above my head and to plan searches with my telescope. It had also served as a replacement for the nautical almanac for celestial navigation. However, eventually time came to update and Palm was no longer. After searching I came across Luminos. This application gives me almost everything I need with out of this world graphics. In addition to assisting in locating natural celestial bodies, the tracking of manmade satellites becomes a breeze. I was able to identify the international space station when it would have been easily confused with just another flight out of MIA. Updates occur regularly without glitches. The only thing missing are the meteor showers. I have already contacted the developers and they assured me that they are looking into this.
One of the most informative astronomy apps Ive ever seen. So much information at a touch ! Great work guys!! Well worth the price.
Pro feature set and active development make this the best astronomy app for iOS. Very pleased.
Very beautiful app , well done. U tube videos to help learn the app although it is very intutive. The item I wish it had was auto sync to the sky when you hold it up. Some other apps have this feature and I like it a lot. I withheld a star on that.

Usually Luminos iOS app used & searched for

night sky astronomy guide, night sky star astronomy guide, and other. So, download free Luminos .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
