## What is StarWizard?

Point your phone at the sky and StarWizard shows you exactly what you're looking at — stars, planets, constellations, and the International Space Station, in real time.

Built for curious beginners, families, and anyone who's ever looked up and wondered "what star is that?" No telescope, no jargon, no account needed.

POINT & IDENTIFY — WORKS OFFLINE
Raise your phone and the sky comes alive on screen. Tap any star or planet to learn its name, distance, colour, and when it rises and sets tonight. The core sky map runs with zero internet — perfect for dark-sky trips far from signal.

ASK THE WIZARD
StarWizard has a built-in AI guide. Ask real questions in plain language — "Can I see Saturn tonight?", "What's that bright star?", "Tell me something amazing" — and get clear, accurate answers grounded in what's actually above you. (The free plan includes 5 questions a day.)

ALL 88 CONSTELLATIONS
Explore every constellation with clear star figures, filters, and a spotlight mode to learn them one at a time.

TRACK THE SPACE STATION
See where the ISS is right now, and get the exact time of its next visible pass overhead.

NEVER MISS AN EVENT
A built-in sky calendar for meteor showers, eclipses, full moons, planetary conjunctions, and the changing seasons.

LEARN CELESTIAL NAVIGATION
Guided lessons teach you to read the sky like the old navigators — starting with finding true north from the stars, fully offline.

PRIVACY-FIRST, NO ADS
No ads. No tracking. Approximate location only, used just to place the sky correctly. Available in English, Bulgarian, and French.

Whether you're teaching your kids the constellations, planning a night under dark skies, or just settling "what's that bright thing?" — StarWizard is your pocket guide to the night sky.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-28

The Space Station's path now tells you WHEN, not just where — the gold stretch is marked with the time it becomes visible.

A short trail behind the station shows which way it is heading.

Pass times now say how long the Space Station is actually visible, rather than how long it is above the horizon — most passes end early when it flies into the Earth's shadow.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-08-23

Fixed: the Space Station was shown in the wrong part of the sky. Depending on where you live, it could point you at empty sky — or report no visible passes at all when there were plenty.

Pass times, the sky-view marker and the "Point me to it" arrow are all corrected.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-13

Fixed: meteor showers could show the wrong date depending on your time zone, and the reminder was set for the wrong evening.

A shower's peak is now shown as the whole night it spans — for example "Night of Wednesday, August 12 into Thursday, August 13" — because that is what a peak actually is.

Fixed: an eclipse reminder could arrive after the eclipse had already happened.

The Navigate tab is now called Learn.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-02

Fixed: after asking the Wizard, a card's close button could slip under the status bar and stop working.
Star and planet names no longer overlap when two objects are close together.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-26

Missed an ISS pass? You can now set a reminder for the next one. The card always shows the next visible pass, and "Remind me" works even when the pass is only minutes away.

Every card now has a clear close button in its top corner — including Sky layers, Your reminders and the first-run tips.
