aabb1122 on

I’ve had this app for some time now. And I must say the quality and ease of use in this app is one of the best I’ve used.

Chinese Space Station

kiwi Janice on

Can’t find Tiangong Space Station. If I could you would get 5 stars. Can find plenty of space junk so why not Chinese Space Station.

Used to work…

C.A.Fulford on

Was a great app… now it seems locked on one point & is broken. No settings seem to enable it to pan around anymore & view stars… ergo no it is useless & not fit for purpose.

Fantastic App

ColinSouthern on

Fantastic app. Would be great if the Chinese Tiangong space station was added.

Incredible

The best app for looking at stars, has so many great features and is really easy to use. It has so much information about everything you could see. Definitely recommend!

Stargazer

Sharkbait9190 on

Love this app. So tempting to spend hours stargazing

Was great, but not updated in a long time

Zandarama on

As per title, I’m disappointed this app hasn’t been updated with recent satellites etc. It still looks pretty, but I think other newer apps are doing a better job now.

Polaris Australis

Aerdnw on

This app for some reason does not show the location of the current south star - Sigma Octantis. This would be very useful...
