Ratings and reviews

I thoroughly enjoy Sky Map! I began using it several years ago wondering what brilliant light was beaming from the cosmos - directly visible as I stepped out my front door. I'm a curious person, love the outdoors & wanted to know what my eyes were beholding. I found Sky Map & the answer came quickly (Venus, at that moment) & that expanded my interest and led me to learn more. I was surprised when I was able to both zoom in and take a picture! Also, FREE & NO ADS ! 👍🌌☄️👍✨

Very fun and easy to use but needs to be updated more often with things relevant to astronomical news. I wanted to look for 3I Atlas with my telescope when it was at its closest to Earth. I tried to use Sky Map to help me find it, but searched results turned up nothing. It didn't appear on sky map when I pointed my phone in the direction it was supposed to be in either. Overall though, it's fun and interesting with a bunch of useful data for casual astronomers, and is usually very helpful.

Enjoyed the app for a while. Simple with good options. Recommended to others over the years. However, the last several times I've tried to use it, it is WAY off, for example: telling me the sun is ~15° below sunrise when I'm watching the sunset.... I have GPS, data and wifi on (or off) trying different settings to determine location. Tried all the troubleshooting tips, but it can't figure it out, I guess. Uninstalled because it was unusable (and I'm not techy enough to dig deeper).
