## Star Chart Description
*** Star Chart is now FREE! *** The top educational & augmented reality astronomy app  - download and find out why over 20 million people use Star Chart!

You can now have a virtual star chart in your pocket. Look through the eyes of your iPhone or iPad* to see a high-tech window into the whole visible universe.

All you have to do is point your AR enabled device* at the sky and Star Chart will tell you exactly what you are looking at.

Using state of the art GPS technology, an accurate 3D simulation of the visible universe, and a great deal of technical wizardry, Star Chart calculates – in real time - the current location of every star, planet and moon visible from Earth and shows you precisely where they are; even in broad daylight!

Want to know what that bright star is called? Point your device* at it – you might just find out it’s a planet!

Want to know what the night sky looks like to people on the other side of the earth? Well just point your device down!

Want to know where your star sign is in the sky? Star Chart will tell you all this and more.


Star Charts features include:
- Just point and view. When you hold your device up to the sky, Star Chart will automatically start tracking your movements to match the sky *.

- Alternatively, look around the sky using finger gestures – perfect for armchair astronomers!

- In a single app of less than 30MB, Star Chart dynamically scales its visuals and capabilities across all iOS devices to meet the high end capabilities of a retina display iPad while also running smoothly on the earliest iPhones and iPods.

- Accurately depicts all the visible stars of the northern and southern hemispheres - a total of approximately 120,000 stars!

- Fly to and explore all the planets of the solar system, their moons and the sun all rendered in beautiful 3D with state of the art visual effects. 

- Using the powerful Time Shift feature, simply tap the time button and smoothly shift up to 10,000 years forward or backward in time.

- Displays all 88 constellations, with constellation imagery based on the beautiful artwork by 17th century astronomer Johannes Hevelius.

- Includes the complete Messier catalogue of 110 exotic deep sky objects.

- Tap on anything in the sky and get the facts on what you are looking at, including distance and brightness.

- Very powerful zoom function, lets you view the sky in extra detail, using intuitive finger gestures.

- Fully configurable. Star Chart displays only the sky objects that you are interested in.

- Allows you to view the sky underneath the horizon. So now you can see where the sun is, even at night!

- Manually set your location to find out what the sky looks like from anywhere in the world.

- Supports dynamic device orientation viewing. Allows you to view the night sky whilst holding your iPhone/iPad* at any angle.

So point your iPhone/iPad* at the sky and see what's out there!

## Star Chart Reviews in United States

### ***** "best, even after a decade"
had been using top free apps for this 'til i bothered going back through my old apps & finding this. can't believe it's still up & works fantastically. the simple UI! the lack of popups & ads/banners! simpler times (in the web world). glad it works; going back to it. simple as.
-- ||homEsick, 2024-12-30

### ***-- "Good information but crashes a lot"
I like the app except for the constant crashes.
-- KermitTGator, 2024-12-27

### *---- "Outdated and undocumented"
I really, REALLY wished this app worked as advertised. The app has not been updated in at least 5 years! The user manual is not available in the app or on their server. The location service is totally inaccurate. It locates me 20+ miles away from my actual location. No way to communicate with the company. So good luck on any purchases made.
-- skarakizis, 2024-12-18

### **--- "Not Updated In 9 Years 👎"
While I *did* once enjoy using this app in the past, it has developed a number of weird glitches. However, the app is no longer being maintained by the developer and appears to have been abandoned. As a result, these problems are never addressed. Star Chart is no longer a very good or trustworthy app.
-- Sabor Místico, 2024-11-23

### *---- "Inapp purchases not working after payment deducted"
I purchased 2 upgrades. App crashes and still shows as if i didnt buy it
-- Rifshaan, 2024-11-06

### ***** "iOS 18, iPhone 16+"
Great app 
However there’s a display issue with iOS 18/iphone 16+

Scrolling time on the right side is clipped.
-- Larrygps, 2024-10-19

### ***** "Best App in the World… I Mean Universe!"
This app is the epitome of high-tech and universal discovery,  for the cost of….your time. Thank you, developers!!!! ⭐️🪐💫☄️
-- gas 4 free, 2024-10-17

### **--- "Missing objects in sky"
I just paid an upgrade to add comets and there are only a handful available in the app. I’m feeling ripped off. And, when I try to link to the manual o line, the website is bad.
-- tbonescott, 2024-10-15

### ****- "Casual user, doesn’t have the Atlas comet"
I use this app occasionally and am no budding astronomer, just a casual enthusiast. For that reason the app is good. But I got curious about the current Atlas comet so I paid for the upgrade and they don’t have that one!
-- 702PackersFan, 2024-10-14

### *---- "Expansion packs don’t work"
I’ve been using this as a map for a while and decided to upgrade, but current comets don’t show, and the online user manual is 404.
No searches show any other locations for the manual.
-- argentfield, 2024-10-13

### ****- "Good but needs update"
I love this app truly, and I kinda of love the “nostalgic” feeling of it, because it’s stuck in 2016. But I also wish it had some kind of refresh and make it more user friendly. Still, great app and the only good app for knowing your night sky.
-- ssocialpapi, 2024-09-19

### *---- "Downloads don’t work"
Purchased the satellite upgrade and it fails to install and crashes the app. Also purchased the comet upgrade and it doesn’t include C/2023 A3. And then I came here and saw the app hasn’t been updated in 8 YEARS!! I expect a refund, $1.99 for comets and $4.99 for satellites. Now. If not I’ll contest the charges with my cc company. Please decommission this app! DO NOT PURCHASE UPGRADES!!!
-- Masterjediluke, 2024-09-15

### ***** "Just beautiful"
I am just amazed.
-- beautiful rat 2345, 2024-08-20

### ***** "So cool !!!"
I downloaded this app a while ago but I just started using it. I have to get up early for work so I go outside in the backyard and use the app to identify all the stars in the sky. Thanks for making something so awesome👍
-- 79erik, 2024-08-03

### ***** "Been using this app for a while"
This app was recommended to me by me middle school Astronomy teacher 7 years ago. I don’t use this app as often, but it’s fun to pull out with friends occasionally at night and find a few constellations.
The app is really easy to use and understand. 
The AR function that rotates the sky as you rotate your phone is pretty accurate.
I wouldn’t say it has the most diverse catalog of constellations, but for casual use it’s great.
-- MonoriaH, 2024-07-14

### ***-- "It would be great if it would ever calibrate properly"
This has a lot of features that look really neat. However, the basic function—showing you the names of the stars you’re currently looking at—never works. I can never get the app to calibrate properly to the direction I’m pointing in. I will point my phone right at the Moon, for example, and the app says it’s something else, and the Moon is on a completely different part of the sky. It makes identifying stars impossible. I want to like this app, but I can’t use it. 😞
-- Abigail 82, 2024-05-19

### ***** "Eclipse"
I’ve owned this app for 8 yrs, when I have a good day, I like to see what constellation is above me, and I am happy it’s informs me correctly that the eclipse 4/8/24 was in Pisces and never in Aries like people where stating.
-- JanetJane_, 2024-04-08

### *---- "Hasn't been updated in 8 years!"
I paid for all the upgrades. None of them work. Don't waste your time or money on this app, development has stopped.
-- Curtis040588, 2024-03-20

### ***-- "Current Visible Comet Not Included"
I paid for the Comet upgrade, but 12P/Pons-Brooks isn’t included. Hmmmmm…
-- Overiselite, 2024-03-15

### ***** "Awesome App"
The colection of this Sky Map is beyond amazing. I use this app plenty of times when am in Awed with the Sky to figure out what is Shining Above. Really cool to see it change thruout the Seasons.
-- javier Agosto, 2024-02-25
