Astronomy Apps

The Messier List app, downloadable at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/messier-list/id364899443?mt=8,
contains the famous catalog of Messier objects.  The app has images and descriptions of the Messier objects listed in numerical order.  The app is free as well, and can be downloaded on Apple iPhones, iPads or iPods.
With the simplicity of the app makes it appealing for those who have an interest in the Messier objects, but people with a deeper interest may not be impressed.  With some of the images, the app will show portions and not the whole image.  Also there is a lack of maps and charts, which is a bit disappointing. Overall, despite some spelling errors, it is a good and easy to use app.
