Get a front row seat to celestial events

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered: "what star is that?" Sky Map is in our radar because it can turn your Android device into a looking glass to the night sky, identifying stars, constellations, and planets right when there’s a celestial event happening.

Sky Map is a favorite for its pure simplicity. The app uses your device's compass and GPS to map the cosmos accurately – with zero ads or distractions. The "Time Travel" feature lets you fast-forward to plan for a meteor shower or rewind to see exactly how the constellations aligned on your birthday. And "Night Mode" is a savior for the serious stargazers as it turns the interface red, preserving your eyes' dark adaptation so you can switch between the screen and the stars without losing focus.

Using Sky Map feels super intuitive. You can simply point your phone at the sky and the screen mirrors the cosmos in real-time using your phone’s compass. Important controls are stacked handily on the left side which you can use to switch celestial bodies on and off the screen.
