Question: why are some constellations... different? Aquila is half of the bird, and the outline is not as it's been drawn for a long time. Very etrange. I also wish I could regenerate the on-load pop-up notifications. accidentally clicked past one about previewing an eclipse and now I'm sad. 2026-08-12 huge celestial event night incl. lunar eclipse! /// Otherwise-great app, love it and it's damn accurate. I've taken very high res photos looking for specific stars and things are exactly in place.

Thanks for the incredibly kind words on accuracy — that's exactly what we aim for! We're revisiting the constellation lines (including Aquila) in v2. For the eclipse notification, the What's New text is in Help, and you can rerun the tutorial from the menu to see it again.

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).

We're sorry to see you go after years of support! If the Sun is misplaced, it's usually a time zone or location permission issue. We've tried to make that more obvious in the app. If you ever return, a screenshot of your Diagnostics page sent to skymapdevs@gmail.com helps us investigate.

As long as you calibrate as instructed, this app is fantastic. You can search for anything in the sky and it will point you towards it, it names constellations, there are different layers you can choose to have labeled depending on what you're looking for. The only thing that would make it better is if it told you when special events were happening, such as certain planets being aligned in an unusual way, or a good night for meteor showers, etc.
