...it does Not save your location. it always wants to geo locate you, bummer.

A nice app if all you want to know is what is up in the sky and roughly where it is. But there are better apps available, some of which are free. The graphics here are low resolution, which is somewhat annoying.

Easy to use, very intuitive. Graphics could be sharper. Would like to be able to add other objects, not just planets.
