App seems pretty useful and has lots of good data. I only had two issues. First, the help responses to the question marks is in Russian (?) and so no help at all explaining what the values are. Second, quite often switching values or screens results in the view through the eyepiece shrinking in size. The whole eyepiece shrinks, not just what is shown as being the view. Example, moon is almost filling the eyepiece, switch to another view or change a value, switch back to main screen and the eyepiece circle is now 1/4 size and the moon still almost fills it.

I like this app but I think it could be a little cleaner. I understand that you can have the bookmarks on the sides but only in equal number (telescopes to eyepieces). I wish you could set up telescopes (with names) independently. As it works now it feels a little clunky and can be easy to missmatch telescopes and eyepieces. Especially since I have only 3 telescopes but 12 eyepiece/Barlow combinations.

There are quick bookmarks on the right and left of the screen. The number of bookmarks can be increased in the settings (default 5)

Very useful in planning viewing sessions, eyepieces and photography by providing excellent data on what to expect. As a beginner, I refer to it a lot but it must be equally useful for experienced astronomers, too.
