Best planetarium app ever

I have been using Luminos for many years and am convinced that it is the best product available in this field. You simply won't find this combination of features—the software itself, the countless capabilities, the massive database, the performance, and especially the excellent support—in any other program.

The best astronomy app

Dear developers, I’ve tried lots of astronomy apps, but Luminos Pro is by far the best. That’s why I decided to buy the lifetime pass. Thank you very much for all your hard work, and I look forward to seeing what you develop next.

Das beste Planetariumprogramm

Viele Programme habe ich schon ausprobiert. Jetzt nutze ich Luminos schon seit vielen Jahren und bin überzeugt, dass es nichts besseres gibt. Vollgepackt mit Funktionen, alle wichtigen Kataloge, wunderschön umgesetzt und ein Service, der unschlagbar ist. Ich liebe es.

Best Planetarium App Ever

I've been using this app for years and I just love it. It has everything you can imagine and much more and it is even constantly growing. I've tried several other apps on iPad and PC, but this one is truly the very best. Everything works greatly and very user friendly. And if a problem ever arises out of the millions of possibilities: a quick email to John and the problem will be solved. Thank you for this wonderful app, your excellent service and your knowledge.

No longer seems to be supported.

Revised back to five stars. My thanks to dev for prompt, clear response. Leaving for prompt customer service kudos.

Old:Six months no fixes. Lifetime memberships always feel like a trap. Satellite updates don’t work like they used to.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. I understand your frustration about the recent gap in updates. I've been working on significant improvements behind the scenes, and I'm committed to supporting Luminos Pro long-term. The satellite issue is because some categories of Celestrak data feeds are now obsolete and no longer return data. Turn them off for now in Luminos Pro (swipe left to delete one), and in the next update in a couple of weeks they will be gone, plus there are new Celestrak categories that I've added support for. Best regards, John Stephen Author of Luminos Pro
