Love this app

This app is flawless. Love this app!

Absolute Best App of All Time

Addie Bowley on

I went camping recently in Northen NH, and this app was SO amazing for that. I got to see exactly what was in the sky above me (and below me). Absolutely recommend this app to anyone who loves stars and the night sky, or is simply looking for some more education on the topic :)

Probably my favorite app

It’s always nice to see what planet or star is where. Thanks.

Eye opening

With this app you can look all the booster rockets from 🚀🛰️🛰️🚀50 years and it tells you the date it was launched, where and what it was for couldn’t believe how much trash is left floating around in space with nobody planning to clean it up.. it’s terrible and these humans do not represent humanity in general I would hope. God help us.

The App

trainlover555559 on

One of the best apps I use. This app made me get interested in stargazing. I like the fact it accurately shows where the objects are. I just love it.

Love it!

Upgraded to the paid version just because I enjoy the app and its quality, and the hard work of the developers. It’s cheap and permanent (transferred to my new phone with no issues). I use it often to identify any visible objects, including the numerous boosters and other objects in our orbit. I also appreciate the many options available in the settings.

Amazing Opportunity

Cbwv1863 on

It’s an amazing app that I’d recommend to anyone who has young children. Not only can you see the planets, you can see where the planets are located each night or day! It’s fascinating to watch the International Space Station and the Hubble telescope.

Camera function = ZERO. FAQ = ZERO.

Location ability = ZERO. Did I buy the premium version? = YES. Did I waste my $$? TOTALLY

Best

Perfect for the universe but why pay to update😄🥰

Sky review

Tee-ha-Nee on

The calibration of this app is way off. No way to get your “manual” adjustment to stay… Once you’ve exited the calibration it goes right back to being a full phone screen out of sync. The “automatic” calibration mode does absolutely nothing. App is not even a one-star at this point… That would be kinda funny if it weren’t so true.
