    Google Sky

    I first saw this on a friend's Android phone, but I cannot say enough about how cool this app is. It was $1.99 for the iPhone, and worth every dime! It even tells you the names of the satellites going by.

    Yawn.
    Satellite AR - augmented reality
    SatTrack - tracker with schedules and visibility info - good if you want to see the ISS or Iridium flares (the flares are a very seldom event, last seconds, but they look like someone in the sky is shining a flashlight at you)
    Both free on Android.

    The reply without the first line would make you appear so much less of a dick. Really it would.

    I was thinking "arrogant". But yeah, agreed. I always wonder if people like this are just like this because they are online? Or do they act this way in real life too? It's weird to me how just because it's the Internet, people become so rude to each other.

    Sorry I'm not British. If I were maybe my reply would have been on the lines of: "I am terribly sorry, but I ought to kindly remind you that the Apple platform is slightly not as capable as Android. Please do not take it as an offense but there might be some better options for you to consider.... blah blah"
    I'm afraid it ain't gonna happen.
    On the other side "less of" implies I am a dick for not being an Apple fanboy and having a different opinion. Too bad.

    Sorry I'm not American. If I were maybe my reply would have been along the lines of: "Yeah man, he's definitely a dick".

    It's not about being britich or american. It's about starting your post out with the word "yawn". Why do you feel the need to do that? Do you do that in real life? Or is that just a think you do on the Internet?

    Google Sky is also free on Android. Just visit your local Google Play Store.

    Of course! You keep telling yourself that. Also, Coke is better than Pepsi.
