Exoplanet
The "Exoplanet App" is a daily updated database of all discovered extrasolar planets. It has been developed and is maintained by a professional astronomer.
Main features:
* Database with physical parameters of every known exoplanet.
* Interactive visualisations and animations.
* Real images of all directly imaged exoplanets
* Interactive 3D plot shows the position of all exoplanets in our Milky Way. You can zoom into any planetary system. Or zoom out and see local galaxy clusters and the microwave background.
* Push notifications are sent out whenever a new planet is discovered.
* Interactive multi-touch correlation plots.
* Twitter integration (requires iOS 5)
* Extensive background information on exoplanets and detection methods.
* Direct links to over 50.000 scientific publications
