Beschreibung

There's never been a better time to get into Astronomy! Start off easy with an app that will guide you around the night sky - and even entertain you a little when the skies are cloudy.
"The app works beautifully, making astronomy a bit less mysterious—but no less remarkable", MacWorld
"It’s truly an impressive marvel. 5 Mice out of 5", MacWorld.
"..one of the prettiest and easiest to use. And at three bucks, it’s a steal", Cult of Mac.

Pocket Universe
Have you ever looked up at the night sky, and wondered what exactly you were looking at? Pocket Universe is an easy-to-use app that will help you learn the names of constellations, bright stars, planets and more. You can literally hold up your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch in front of you, and the app will use the built-in compass to display the same view of the sky you see - but one that's complete with names and information.
Then explore the Solar System, and take virtual walks on the surface of the Moon and Mars, before playing a game to help you learn more about astronomy that you thought possible.
Every night there is something to see: Pocket Universe will provide you a list of suggestions, as well as give you regularly updated news and observation tips - which you can even share with your friends.
You don’t need to be an expert to use Pocket Universe, and everything you see has a useful pop-up information window and links to Wikipedia for the latest information.
With over 80,000 stars, beautiful textures, built-in quiz games, updated news, lunar phases, information on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, an Orrery view, and more, there’s so much to explore.

Key Features
Pocket Universe was the first iPhone astronomy app to support the built-in compass, and it was also the first to add a true augmented reality view using the iPhone's built-in camera! Use the camera view in the evening or morning sky to overlay the labelled view over the real sky.
Simply hold up your iPhone in front of you, and the view will be exactly what you see - but with names and information at your fingertips. Move the iPhone around to see the view change in real-time.

The “news“ in the app is no longer updating and the website cannot be found. After 13 years it appears that this app has gone to the boneyard. It was a good run.

an app i can customize how i want to use it any night. wether i’m preparing for astrophotography away from my computer, or just can’t remember where an object is while i have my telescope out. it can be simple, or can show some more advanced options if needed. i’ve been using it for so many years now, and i feel like i just need to say it’s the astronomy app you get and can use for a long time. and big thanks to the developer keeping things actively up to date :)

One of the best astronomy apps

I am a long time amateur astronomer and I love this app. First off I paid to unlock it years ago, and unlike many apps it has continued to be updated and supported when many apps sunset this one has kept going. Thank you to the creator/developer and pleas keep up the good work!

So, there is a green comet that’s around and if you do a search for “comet“ you get nothing there is no help from this app to find the comet and it’s a brief time over our skies this month.

i used to love this

now it can't even adjust to the correct compass setting...sheesh.

Can’t change label text size …useless to ANYONE who doesn’t have perfect near-vision

Robflys on

I want to love this app. I really do. But if you can’t enlarge the text size when you zoom in, it is utterly USELESS. Especially to vision that is looking at a screen that is dimmed out at night. Seriously? What an utter, utter shame.

Love this so much!

This was the first app I bought when I got my smart phone years ago. I don’t know why I waited so long to write a review. This app is so easy to use, easy to understand and still amazes me with all the things it does.

Very nice app!

I love space and this app is worth all the money you pay for it.

Allow enlarging text size

cab't send, nuckname is taken on

Vereinigte Staaten

Same problem it’s had since the first version: you try to expand because the text size is so small that you need a magnifying glass to read it - literally - and it expands the dot representing the planet, star, constellation, etc.,everything but the text. If you can’t read the label to know what you’re looking at it’s unusable, especially since iPhone font size is disabled. Shame. It could be so good.
