It's me, Galileo!

I mean I feel like I am, this app is fabulous, it's low-key idiotproof smarty pants shell yummy stars inside

One of the best Star gazing apps

Seeing the night sky the day you were born is trippy. Confirming in real time what star or planet is in front of you because you may not have a compass at the time, is priceless. The app allows you to take a picture versus taking a screenshot, allowing you to not lose track. It’s instrumental in assisting me with finding celestial objects via my telescope and I can predict where I need to be positioned hours- even days in advance for stargazing.
