2. I don't know much about IPhones

I just know this was particularly cool (at least to me). I think it could be very helpful.

8. It is very cool

Thanks for posting. I just installed it and the free version reverses words to show what it does. Its very cool.

Also it works on the last two versions of the iPhone - it does not work on the first two versions because those phones do not have enough processing power to do what the app does.

4. Cool app

my favorite is not for Iphones though its google sky map, http://www.google.com/mobile/skymap/

just point your phone at the sky and it names the stars amnd constelations. Absolutely amazing app.

10. A great app

It is so fun to rotate it and look around for me, who knows little, but my husband uses it a lot while observing or teaching kids at the observatory.

6. Another step to putting translators out of a job

Really great app though. Anything that helps break down the language barrier is a good thing. :)
