Leave a Review StarMap 3D
Very Disappointed
This app is not what I was looking for in a basic night sky guide. It does a good job of showing a view of constellations from your position, but that's about it. No planets or moon position. No option to view star names on the map - you have to touch a star to see it's name and info. No constellations in the search database. The 3D view is mostly a gimmick.Show lessDRHawaii
Best Star Map App Ever!!!!!:-) 5 Stars
Great app. Perfect for studying. It's great for learning your stars and constelations. It's plantetarium view is great to use to find out what constellations are out inthe beutiful night sky. Great app, perfect for my type of people. If you buy this app you should enjoy the stars and constellations. Please enjoy this app. Gracias!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very great learning tool
I'm very happy with this application, I can look up to the night sky and enjoy it's beauty for first time ever. Before I didn't even pay attention to the stars (they all looked the same) now I can recognize by name a few constellations, stars, and planets. I highly recommend it, you can learn so much for so little.Show lessflako501
Great
Great app but wish the sun moon and other planets didn't look like just another star. And also have the planets in the catalog maybe. Other than that its a great app. But I can see myself upgrading to a better one soon.Jfarrell85
Limited Utility
Looked at first like a nice simple app for getting quick star map. Problem is you can't just bring up any arbitrary star or constellation. If what you want to happens to be below the horizon of your location it just displays a popup dialog that says "Too Bad!". Seriously. Your only option is to change your location by hand, then search, or, you can go to the whole star map, but then you have to find it yourself and you don't get a horizon. I'm a programmer and can't really comprehend why the app can't just pick a location that gives a suitable view of the thing you want to see (instead of just saying "Too Bad!"). The app just seems rather limited for no good reason.Show lessMdocean
A neat little app
Does what it says. It is cool to fly around in space and see constellations from perspectives they were never intended to be viewed from. Could use a better 3D interface though.Dr. Pertuge
StarMap 3D: near, but no.
This app shows promise, but as it stands is of little use. It's almost impossible to tell where in the sky it's pointing. There are no Alt/Az or RA/Dec gridlines, and it has a "hair trigger" if the screen is touched. I tried to use it to tell where my telescope is aiming, but did not succeed. It needs to be more structured - like the vintage "Skymap Pro" package, for example. It will not find planets - that would not have been a major effort to include. A pity.Show lessKeithJ-UK
Still in Beta
This app is useful exclusively to experienced astronomers who understand the Right Ascencion / Declanation system of finding stars. Lacking either compass bearings or coordinates based upon one's current location, it will be useless to most users. One must be familiar with the sky even to determine which way is up! Anyone who could understand this app would be better served by any of the far superior apps available.
This app blinds the user's night vision, because it does not hide the OS's status bar at the top of the screen (showing time and battery level), its controls are glaring white fields and buttons, and there is no night vision mode. An astronomy app must be usable in the dark!
The 3D feature substitutes the iPhone's pinch gesture for automated zooming at every touch of the screen, rendering control of panning unavailable until 3D is switched off.
Data about stars can not be read while names and constellation lines are visible. Constellation lines are questionably drawn. Camelopardalis is shown as a short, straight line, not stars shaped like a ghiraffe!
Excellent control for limiting the magnitude of stars shown.
Some potential with serious upgrades, but puzzling to see the enthusiasm in other reviews. Many thanks, though, to the programmer for adding to our collection of astronomy apps. Keep at it, and you may yet have a winner.Show lessBozocity
Great app, easy to navigate!
I was looking for an easy-to-use app to view the stars and this is perfect!!! Very intuitive features make it easy to find anything you're looking for, or just fly through the galaxy! Nice to have the heavens in your pocket rain or shine, night or day. Great app!IndigoMontana
