Good when it’s not confused
This is a pretty slick app, guiding you around the night sky. It will name what you’re pointing at, or let you search for something (a certain star or planet, say) and point you to the right spot. Cool.
But it can be disoriented. This morning before dawn it had constellations in the wrong places. I’m in Aotearoa New Zealand, so the ecliptic is in the northern sky. Yet it was claiming planets were in the south. Meanwhile the N, E, S, W tags were spot on, so it wasn’t a compass problem. More like it didn’t understand the southern hemisphere. Then suddenly, pop! It lined itself up correctly. Can’t explain, but it leaves me wondering whether I can rely on it.
Now off to find Matariki (Pleiades) for Matariki Day!

Bad
You have to move your phone and I can’t see the planet or moon!!!!! Stop making apps!!!!!!
My first astronomy app
Recently bought a telescope and was looking for a free app. Lite is a great app. I really enjoyed it!
can you please add galaxys to the game
please add galaxys owner
Wrong
You have no idea how to figure out where people are. Stop making aps.
Use to be good, not so much anymore
I have had this app for years, and it use to be dead on. Now I can aim at the moon and it will be way off on the app from where I am pointing. No longer worth keeping this app if it doesn’t even show correct positioning of anything in the sky.
Fake
Fake there's no stars at day
Waste of time and money
The free version doesn’t even show a quarter of the constellations. Very disappointing.
Good
I use the free version and have for several years. I recommend it. Best constellation app I have found.
Weird lately
The app backwards on my iPad, but fine on my phone. I’m facing south, but the app says I’m facing north. Eastern USA.
Cool
Cool
Not accurate
I love this app because I can find out what planets are where but when I point up to the sky, nothing is where they are,
if that makes any sense
if that makes any sense
Best app!
I use this app almost daily to see chem out the stars, find where the ISS is located and so much more! I have inspired my adult children to check out the skies, especially the night skies, and. Is I do this with my granddaughters.
This app sucks, and I am being polite
It has never been aligned with the actual stars. I have had this app for at least four years and it has never accurately shown the stars. Always at least 5 degrees off, at least! I just want to know what I am looking at and the app does not help. It sucks!
App problem
Why was it keep kicking me out instead of entering, when I tried to enter, it kicked me out again, was there a virus in there
joe bart
joe bartolozzi uses this app
best for future astromers
awesome just awesome
What
This told me the moon was to the south when I could see it to the north…
Ugh
New paywalls make using the app almost impossible. A couple years back, it was super close to free; now y’all are turning greedy. Night Sky is better.
Perfect App
This app has never let me down and I’ve had it on and off for a decade. It helps show you what the bright light in the sky is just by pointing your phone at it and so much information I love this app thanks to the creator of it
