Default Mobile Sky Chart -- Anyone use it?

What do you think of the app?


I downloaded it. Give it a pass. It starts up too slow, navigation is
a pain, and it doesn't show enough. Besides, on a phone, you'd expect
to have the thing automatically keep up with comet locations and the
like. I don't see that.

Maybe I'm missing some option I have to set. I'll sit back and see if
anyone else has anything to offer.
