• Scientifically accurate star positions and luminosity to see the night sky from alien worlds
• Pilot Mode with first person flight controls and 5 speed levels
• Orbit Mode to easily navigate systems and rotate or zoom in to examine planets
• Navigator to find nearby systems and planets
• Telescope is our first iteration of the AR star-gazing feature where you can point your phone to see where nearby planets or distant stars can be found in the night sky. From there you can tap on any label to see more info and - feature unique to Cosmic Atlas - you can fly to the selected star or planet in first person with the tap of a button.
• Database to browse and discover new exoplanets, planetary systems, and stars

DATA SOURCES
Using the latest exoplanet data from programs by NASA and the European Space Agency, Cosmic Atlas is a true-to-scale 3D environment where users can freely explore our small section Milky Way galaxy and examine thousands of newly discovered stars and exoplanets.
The latest planetary system data is collected from a number of public research programs, including the University of Puerto Rico's Planetary Habitability Laboratory and the NASA Exoplanet Archive, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology, under contract with NASA under the Exoplanet Exploration Program.
ABOUT
Cosmic Atlas was built by two dreamers, space nerds, and longtime friends Dan and Max. What started as Dan’s passion project evolved into something much bigger and five years later, we’re excited to share our work with the world. We hope you enjoy using the app and we look forward to releasing more features that inspire your inner explorer and celebrate the incredible work of space research programs around the world.

I've been using the Solar System Scope app for a while now and really like it, it's an awesome app but this one picks up on what it lacks. I always wanted to explore the distant exoplanets and Cosmic Atlas delivers on that desire in a big way. With over 2,000 explorable planets ranging from hot and cold gas giants to hostile exoplanets and watery gems that resemble home. The textures for each of the planets are pretty unique, only reusing surfaces here and there. I highly recommend this app.

I cannot open the database, or do too many things without the app crashing. It seems like a decent app otherwise, but this issue makes it nearly unusable.
What's new
Cosmic Atlas 2.1.0 introduces Telescope Mode, has DOUBLED the data to a whopping 4,987 planets outside of our solar system, adds new settings ("show systems without planets" and "show systems with info only"), and a feedback provider to the main menu.
