What's New in Astrophotographer’s Universe

1.0.2

June 27, 2026

Thanks for all of your collective feedback on the app. We've fixed several related issues with the horizon and the altitude/azimuth gridlines not reflecting your selected location. We've also tweaked the look of these lines and changed the way the deep sky panorama moves as you pan around, so your local horizon is kept level.

Filters

In the free version any search filters that are set must be reapplied every time the app is opened. Don’t know if that is the case in the paid version. Would be nice if the filters would stay in place.

Use on iPad

Great content but the map is hard to control and keep horizon level on an iPhone. I got a new iPad just for this app and it’s much better of course !

Needs better charting

Great content but the map is very hard to control and keep horizon level…also needs to zoom out more than allowed.
