Ratings and reviews

Absolutely goated if you like stargazing what I think is the best part of the app if you cannot identify a star just by looking at it you can point your phone at it and it will tell you precisely what and where you're looking at and you can use the same function to find a planet during the daytime or night time. Even for non-stargazers I would suggest getting this app it's that interesting,and you can set reminders for celestial events, it's amazing!

Great for stargazing! I think this app would be a perfect tool for parents to use with their kids to learn about stars, constellations, and the universe. Not only that, the maps are well detailed and very informative. This app needs to be used by parents wanting to show their kids the night sky and what wonders it offers. I rate this 5/5 stars because it just brings me joy and wonder, and I have a feeling it will do the same for many more. Happy stargazing to all who use this wonderful app!

Requires little calibration and always seems to be right on target. Polaris representation aligns with magnetic North. 4 stars because it's difficult to close out ads, even after they've finished playing, requiring that I completely close the app and restart it to get rid of the ad. Developers, please don't allow ads to hijack your program!!! Pet peeve. Otherwise, a delightful app.
