Leave a Review Stellarium Mobile
Favorite app for homeschooling and hobbies
This app is so easy to use, and at the same time so mindblowingly complex to wrap my mind around (but in the best way): I’ve had another astronomy app for years, but hardly knew about minor objects like asteroids, much less that they have names and all kinds of amazing facts: this is a whole new dimension of astronomy and we love it!
It would be really amazing if you could enable the option to have more than one object labeled at a time!!
And someday… in my wildest dreams, all the Latin, Japanese and other language names could have English translations searchable—or at least noted somewhere! Meanwhile, my kids and I are finding gems daily and learning so much!Show lessbrightrays
I love Stellarium
It’s the best app I can see where meteor showers are going to happen. I can see where my planets and I always use it to help me find Saturn Neptune, and very many more Jupiter and I really love how we can let us zoom in to see what it’s gonna look like at that time and I use it every day. When I use use SkyView it only showed me a few planets and some constellations but I like so better so that’s why I love this app.Show lessldhair
Such a Joy to Use!
This app is such a joy to use! I’m not an astronomer, I don’t have a telescope or anything more than my iPhone’s night mode, but I do have the good fortune to live in a light free area where the panoply above me is regularly on view. When I wander around at night or early in the morning, Stellarium opens up the omniverse for me, showing and naming the constellations and stars that would otherwise just be little lights. Through it, I have started to appreciate the vastness that surrounds us, even to understand how different cultures saw what I can see, so that it places me both physically and historically. I don’t know of any better way to use a smartphone than that. A totally unique application. Kudos to the developers!Show lesstimbee71
Compass actually works
Bro, easy to use, don’t really need the paid version unless you want to hook up with an electric telescope, but if you’re just looking through your telescope it’s actually very easy to locate things with.
The compass itself works very well and the couple times it wasn’t exact, it was only off by a few degrees.
The only real thing the plus upgrade will get you is more info about the object and a deep space pic
Hoped this helpedShow lessWass’sup
Totally freeee
This app is the best when I click on a star it tells you everything. I has learn so much it show satellites rockets and rockets body parts and tells you the name. There everything you can think of like star clusters and nebula. I has just started using the telescope and I learn much more than I would have before.
I wonder what the upgraded version is?Show lessGavin Brodtmann
Outstanding Astro Application
Stellarium is by far the best general purpose astronomy application for iPhone. It is really cool, going out with binoculars and identifying various stars, star clusters and nebulae. We travel extensively between the northern and Southern Hemispheres. I’m looking forward to going back to the temperate south in a couple weeks to use it to locate the southern star clusters and Milky Whey features. While the paid version brings many more stars, Stellarium does not big down, allaying previous concerns.
I again look forward to the rapid location of the Magellanic clouds, omega Centauri &c.Show lessEdLewis2
Fantastic, exactly what I want.
This app is every stargazing tool I could want. It has extensive features even in the free version. I found the interface intuitive and spectacularly useful for identifying planets, constellations, and even individual stars.
I learned a lot from the included descriptions of each constellation, but wish it was a little bit easier to read, maybe with just a couple headings separating mythology and interesting features and linking the Wikipedia entry instead of just loading a block of text.
I also happen to love the fact the architecture is open source, and that they offer a lifetime price for the pro features. Good vibes all around!Show lesscprice11
Review about Stellarum
This app is really realistic and the fact you can change the culture of the stars! My fav thing about this is that you can change the locations. Even tough antártica is just day at its southern point and Greenland at its northern point! Space people should download this app if the don’t have a computer!Show lessPedro Nossal
Did not support SkyWatcher mount as promised
It says that this mobile version supports SkyWatch (SynScan) telescopes, but it does not. I spent several hours on this last night (and I’m and IT expert) and it does not connect to telescope via mobile, and it says this in the documentation, that it must connect via SynScan app in the background but IOS does not permit this, in short you cannot connect from this app to your scope. All the ports suggested do not work. I tried connecting to another ios device running synscan and the same device, and directly to the ip address of the scope. None of these work says promised.Show lessDgsf
Needs some fixes
This is a very good star viewing app. I have enjoyed the short period of time I have been using it. I did notice however, and I find it fairly annoying, is that you can only see one constellations at a time. If you could fix this I would rate it 4 and a half because there are a few bugs. Sometimes I can’t move the stars with my trackpad or my arrow keys…. I can also lift up my iPad and look around and see the stars but some other times it will lag out and kick me out of the app. If it didn’t have these I would rate it 5 stars! Thank you for creating such an app for mobile devices. :DShow lessElon Musk II
