About this app

Planet Pointer turns your phone into a pocket sky guide. Pick one target — a planet, a star, a constellation, a satellite or a deep-sky object — and an on-screen arrow guides you until your phone is aimed right at it. Simple, focused, and accurate.

★ POINT AT THE SKY
Choose what you want to find and follow the guide arrow. When you're locked on target, the phone confirms with a gentle vibration. The live camera view helps you line up the guide with the real sky.

★ WHAT YOU CAN FIND
- The Sun, the Moon and all 7 planets
- 33 of the brightest named stars
- All 88 constellations, drawn as connect-the-dots figures over the live sky
- Deep sky: nebulae, galaxies and star clusters — Orion, Andromeda, the Pleiades and more
- Live satellites — including the ISS, Hubble, Starlink and more — tracked in real time with upcoming pass predictions

★ ACCURATE & OFFLINE
Positions are calculated on your device using a precise astronomy engine, with true-north correction from the World Magnetic Model. No internet needed for the core features.

★ MORE TO EXPLORE
- Sky Events: eclipses, meteor showers, planet conjunctions and the next ISS pass — tap to jump there
- Time Travel: shift the sky forward or back in time to see where everything will be
- Info cards with facts, figures and mythology for every body and constellation
- Favourites, brightness/magnitude data, and a search you can filter to "visible now"

★ SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE
Available in 65+ languages, with translated planet, star and constellation names.

★ BUILT FOR STARGAZING
- Night-vision red mode to protect your dark-adapted eyes
- Spoken sky: hear your target and aim guidance read aloud
- Choose km or miles, set your location manually, and more

★ PRIVACY FIRST
No account. No ads. No trackers. Your location and camera are used only on your device to point you at the sky — they're never recorded or sent anywhere.

Look up. Point. Find it.
