About Sky Event Finder
Did you know that on August 21, 2017 there will be a total eclipse of the sun that can be viewed in the US for the first time since 1979? If not, then Sky Event Finder is for you. It will inform you of all the best celestial events for viewing and photographing from now until 2024, including solar and lunar eclipses, planet oppositions, conjunctions, occultations, super-moons, transits, meteor showers and comets with notes on the moon phase at peak time of meteor showers so you can decide if waiting up all night will be worth it. Simple to use and updated as new events are discovered, like comets. Perfect for the astronomy buff. Also updated every now and then with a new year's events.
1) Final additions and corrections for 2016.
2) Major events (eclipses, meteor showers, solar transits) now updated through 2024, including total solar eclipse visible in USA in 2024.

This app is really disappointing for locating events taking place in our sky and space above earth. It didn't even list the near earth asteroid that recently passed so close to earth and it has even missed a few other astronomical events. There are other more accurate apps than this. What a disappointment !

What you have here is the foundations of a really good app. The content is great but the display and layout was a little basic and clumsy to navigate(maybe it was just my phone? Galaxy sII) I think with a little work on the menus and sizes of fonts (they were far to large for me to read and i couldnt zoom out) you could have yourself a very handy tool for all skywatchers.
