Why we picked this?

Unlike similar apps, xSky really focuses on the view. The interface is clutter-free, sporting only three small icons: search, lock, and settings. You’re able to look around the sky just by holding your iDevice up and rotating. When something catches your eye, lock the screen and pinch to zoom in close. You can also search for objects in the sky and have xSky point them out.

You want an amazing view of objects in the sky. It may not be as detailed or informative as other apps, but its planet and star renderings are second to none.

You already have a go-to telescope. You won’t find much use for this app.

You’re able to import any photo from your library or take a new one from within the app. Then allow Orasis to automatically enhance your photo, or you can tweak the settings to get the exact look you want. In the end, your retouched photos should look closer to what your eyes perceived when you took them. The app includes 14 presets and the ability to share your correct photos via email, Facebook, or Twitter.

You want to quickly touch up your photos. The best part is, if a photo is already well enough exposed, nothing will take place.

You want a full photo editing suite. This isn’t it.
