Ratings and reviews

100% best app for finding things in the sky (for me). Took a minute to figure out that the locations are off-centered just enough so that what I'm searching for is on the screen, while the actual object is just to the side of my screen in the sky... Allowing me to see both at the same time. Helps me figure out if I'm on-target without moving the screen away and back many times to verify. Pay for the app, it's worth it.

Lately when I point up towards the sky, it is just blank, I am using data, and office WIFI. Is there an issue with the app. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall, but it keeps coming up blue and just blank. Pity as I love the app, and it is the best if I compare with others. Please help. Amazing, such fun and educational. Had no idea that there was more than sun, moon, star and planets. Thought the stars made up the horoscope, but had no idea about the bear, dragon etc.

Doesn't require to be connected with the internet (but do open it after download whilst connected to the internet). The good thing about this app is it's still accurate even after 2 weeks on no internet connection. It's great for stargazers who don't have any available internet connection; but in the event that you switched off your phone or restarted it, you'll need to open the app whilst connected to the internet.
