Leave a Review StarMap 3D+ Plus
Great app
I got the free version of this app I think about 4 years ago when I was outside one evening looking at the sky trying to win a bet with my wife about the Big Dipper and Little Dipper. It doesn’t matter who won the bet!😡 Anyway, the app was so awesome I purchased the full version right away. Now I use it to find out when there will be meteor showers, comets, satellites or even the International Space Station. I use the reminder function so my family doesn’t miss anything cool. Not only does it remind of interesting events, it also shows you where in the sky you need to look for the best chance of seeing meteors, the space station or satellites. It also lists all the stars, constellations and planets. Plus, when viewing comets or satellites or other moving objects, it will track them so you just hold up the phone and follow. We love this app, it is super fun, it’s so much fun that the kids don’t even know they’re learning. I would recommend this to anyone. The free version is fine but the premium is definitely with the few pennies it cost.
It’s been about several years since I first tried this app and I am still using it regularly. My kids are now old enough that they are using it on there own and still learning. Probably the best app I have ever purchased.Show lessJeff9033
Decent sky map
Not as in depth as a Luminos (good standard of astronomy app in my opinion) but it is quick and accurate for getting familiar with the night sky. Definitely beginner friendly. I always have it handy for that quick check if I’m unsure of what I’m viewing.Billy.2112
Going back to StarMap 3D
I lost my apps on my old phone and ended up trying other sky gazing applications but I just wasn’t as happy with them. Now I am back to StarMap & so happy I did! I was not a huge astrology fan but it is growing on me quickly.
And with my sensitivity to the sun, this really gives me something to look forward to doing outdoors. I recommend it!!Show lessNutsboutPJ
Terrific Stargazing app!
Had used SkyView for ages but switched to this app because it offered the Rey style of visualizing the constellations which I grew up on and feel is superior to the classic, MacRobert and other styles. Also it allows for finding comets too, which is cool. I was recently using it to try to find comet ATLAS C/2019 Y4 which was in its catalog, until I read that it broke up (alas!). Now I am hoping the app developers soon will add the newly discovered SWAN C/2020 F8 to the app’s catalog in the next update so that I can start hunt for that comet in its place!! If so, will add the fifth star!Show lessArcanusCdk
Fantastic App
Constantly use your fine app to teach my son about the power and grandeur right above our heads, that all too often goes unnoticed/under-appreciated in this frantically stressed-out world of ours.
Your app is especially useful for noting when planets such as Jupiter will be visible for telescopic viewing, which in our low light-pollution neighborhood, usually allows for spectacular views of my 2nd favorite planet & her many moons.
Thanks again for all you do to make this super fun & educational app available for free.
My only suggestion would be to consider creating a section with links to video content such as noted astronomers & physicists discussing various cutting-edge astronomical & cosmological theories along with footage taken of various cosmological events such as planetary alignments & meteor showers visible to even amateur astronomers.
Add a section for uploading pics & vids sent by amateur astronomers like myself, and a chat section for sharing views on recent astronomical activity & a wide range of theories & discussions about the universe and our ultimate role as living sentient beings within the universe, would make the perfect compliment to the aforementioned professional discussion area and make your already stellar site (pun intended), just that much more ‘out of this world’ (oops...I did it again).Show lessSparKrikorian
Normally a good app, buuut...
I use this app all the time! But, unfortunately with the recent update, it no longer works the way it is supposed to. Instead of following my phone’s movements, it now freely sliding all over the celestial sphere, not obeying my movements at all.
I figured that perhaps this is the result of a bug from the recent update, but I cannot find any place to submit bug issues. So, here I am.
Otherwise, this app has been amazing! Just needs a bug fix is all.Show lessCrispyFri3s
It works great for me!
I have used this for quite some time, and it works just fine for me, as I am an amateur and probably don’t know any better.Eyeguy251
Amazing!
So happy with this app, extremely accurate. Told me when the International Space Station would be visible and tracked it across the sky. Very impressed.Orion775
StarMap is awesome!
Fascinating app! I’ve got a lot of fun apps but this one amazes me & my “significant” other every clear Texas night! But I am still trying to find (from my Boy Scout days) the “Big” & “Lottie” Dipper...LarryinTexas
Best StarMap
All issues were isolated and fixed themselves. Must’ve been some location services error. App is back to bring the best!
The most recent update does always open west, no matter what direction the phone is pointed, and doesn’t change. I’ve had this app for years and it never behaved like this. Very disappointed. Please fix. iPhone 8, iOS 12.2Show lessORD enthusiast
