What's New
Dear Stargazer,
This update brings enhanced compass accuracy with NOAA's high-resolution World Magnetic Model 2025 for significantly more accurate magnetic declination calculations worldwide. New compass correction feature lets you manually adjust for local magnetic interference in your area. Access via Scene Controls to fine-tune alignment and save custom settings.
Fixed rendering issues on some devices where stars and planets would not appear.
Best,

I like this app for constellations and stars. Looking at where the planets are is really cool, too, except, where's Pluto? My major gripe is that the app doesn't recognize where the moon is. It's right in front of me and I have my phone camera pointed right at it, but all shows is just stars. I've tried the figure-8 recalibration method several times, but the app still can't find the moon in the correct spot - it shows it a little ways to the left. Please fix.

If you want an app where you can easily identify different constellations without any fuss, this app is for you!! It doesn't show you a stupidly large amount of stars like some of the other apps, but honestly, I like it better this way. It just shows what you would normally see in the sky if you're not away from civilization with no light pollution. Also, it didn't have a pop up ad every 5 seconds telling us to upgrade the membership. Overall, I am really happy with this app!!

Nice app. When I first downloaded and tried it, the compass settings (and sky) didn't line up with reality - ie. South showed up as though I was looking northeast. A few days later though, it worked perfectly. The graphics on this app are really good. If you hover over a star, satellite, or planet, it gives you info on it. In the case of planets and satellites it expands the planet or star into an image of it. If you hover near constellation it connects the stars with lines and an image.

I've downloaded this app on my last 3 phones because I love it so much. I love sharing it with people when we are outside under the stars so they can identify, and sometimes see with their naked eye, planets, galaxies, constellations, satellites, and my favorite, finding the ISS. The music is so comforting too. Thank you for keeping it accessible!

Very beautiful as well as informative with regards to the purpose of orienting oneself in the night sky and locating cosmic "goodies". If you draw over stars within a constellation, it will produce an overlay of the image of that constellation (a setting option) and even tracks faster moving objects (such as comets and satellites) as they are moving through space in real time. This is just in the "Lite" version that is free. ...oh, and the background music is EPIC!

It does what I want. I use it every time I go out with my telescope and sometimes for fun when I'm bored and I want to see where Hubble is. I use it almost every day so I thought why not get the paid version since it's a one time payment. The paid version boasts more planets and meissners (meissners are not included in the free version) however that's a lie. There is NO difference between the paid and free versions. There is no new perks or new things to view. There are still no meissners.
