I assume you mean the Galilean satellites? Or does the S&T app ID every single one of them (assuming you have a monster telescope, and even then you can't see them all)? I haven't checked it out. For the old-fashioned among us who would rather hold a book than a smartphone or tablet, the Observer's Handbook lists times of the Galilean satellite's phenomenon (transits, eclipses, etc.) that makes ID pretty easy.

Speaking of S&T, I see they've just released a new app for identifying the Jovian satellites. Has anyone here tried it out yet? I use Software Bisque's Gas Giants app for that purpose but may check out S&T's offering as well.
