The best planetarium

I have been using this app for many years. With it you don’t need any other mobile app for astronomy

Update broke it

Latest update broke best feature that allowed you to point your device at the sky and see a depiction of the sky and then track changes as you move your device. Now it no longer tracks and is hard to get it to update if at all.

It’s the best for looking at stars when it’s cloudy!

I love how you can move it when looking up to see all the constellations and planets through clouds.I recommend to people whole heartedly to get this app!
