5 ★ Amazing app. It has all I was looking for and more than that. Moon calendar, planet positions, meteor showers among others. Very useful and versatile app. 5000 stars 🌌 Maybe the west-east directions could be flipped, that would match the sky as we observe it from underneath. In the latest update they actually included an option to flip W-E directions. Awesome!
5 ★ This is amazing. First is weird to you learn how to use it because or west east inverse. But after many time of use for first time I actually lay on ground and used map over my head and map started to rotate. Holly cow this app is all you ever need for observe sky with naked eye. I have no words. P. S. Please add time when is astronomical twighligt because that is time for observation
5 ★ Amazing!! Perfect for the amateur astronomer. Has planetary positions by the hour, you can change the time of the sky that's displayed, news, events. Couldn't ask for a better app!! The zoom is weird though with the night sky. Other than that, perfect app!
4 ★ This app is great. it has helped me understand and plan for eclipses and other moon phases. the only negative thing I have to say is that the compass is a little confusing, and I also wish there was a way to track meteor showers and comets.
5 ★ This is a great app with lots of basic helpful data for amateur astronomy. I wish the sky map had options to add RA-Dec and the ecliptic. It would also be great if I could change the separation of altitude lines and toggle the zenith. Update: The developer added one of my suggestions. 5 star app!
5 ★ The app is simple and easy to use, although the star map lacks detail and is missing some of the smaller stars (like the rest of Ursa Major, for example). I love the periscope feature that predicts the rise and set of the sun and the phase of the moon, too.
5 ★ So far, so good. My only issue was with the star map, the E/W inversion was on and it confused me at first. Press of a button and it was all fixed. Informative app.
4 ★ i never had problem using this compass option. but today the message read the compass sensors not available on this device.. why????l have use the compass many times before in the past what is the reason now? I'm using Android v.7
2 ★ Nice, but the most important is missing! The charts for the planets! It is pretty basic, not offering much to the observers.
5 ★ Brilliant app. Plenty of information. Simple to use and easy to understand. Calendar is particularly useful. Recommended 100%👍
4 ★ This app is very useful in comes in navigating the sky. Thus, it offers a lot of infos for beginners just like me. In short, the app is very good. :)
4 ★ It would be great if the skymap would act as a compass itself. EDT: Thanks! The new function is great!
5 ★ Great app with an amazing user interface. Gives useful info, although it has a lot of potential for improvements and new features.
3 ★ No landscape mode for tablet means immediate uninstall. Could be a great app if not for that problem.
4 ★ Great app! Has everything I need to keep up with planetary and other astronomical movements. Wish it had notifications for setting and rising times though.
