Star Chart gets it's own Forum

Star Chart Forum goes live

A lot of what makes Star Chart great is the input we get from you, our customers. We get great feature requests and help in resolving bugs that occur only when the app is tested around the globe or on multiple devices under different settings.

With this in mind we thought it might be a good idea to broaden that relationship so that it's not just two way, but so that we can all talk together about Star Chart and our passion for the night sky... so we've set up a forum; a place where we can discuss the software / hardware and of course our own Star Gazing experiences. We hope you join and help make it a wonderful resource for all Star Gazing enthusiasts.

So don't hestitate to visit the Star Chart forum now.
