## What is Universe2Go?

This version of universe2go will get no more updates. Please install the new, improved universe2go+ app from the AppStore.
universe2go is an audio-visual sky guide.

universe2go has two modi:

1) Starmap-Mode: use this mode to run universe2go without the Astro-Glasses. This mode has limited functionality.

2) Planetarium-Mode: in conjunction with universe2go Astro-Glasses you experience the the starry sky in a complete new way with audio and augmented reality overlay.

How does it work?

In conjunction with the AR-Astro-Glassses (AR = augmented reality) you can see the night sky with all the stars AND at the same time you will see additional information about the stars and constellations. This way a symbiosis between the real sky and  virtual graphics and text is created. universe2go will use the sensors of your smartphone to generate the corresponding information for the exact spot of the sky that you are looking at.

Maybe you are already familiar with some other starmap apps which can do this also (and some claim to do augmented reality, but fail since the smartphone camera is not capable of night sky imaging). But universe2go is very different!!!

1) universe2go uses a special algorithm and heuristics to identify the star you are looking at with high reliability. (feel free to compare this with other apps!)

2) universe2go displays the constellations the same size as the appear in the sky (other apps display them much smaller, making it hard for the beginner to do the matching between screen display and reality)

3) univers2go is fun. You get an automatically activated zoom, that will show you planets, nebulae, galaxies, satellites and much more with a mind blowing magnification many images even in 3D!!! That's super cool and fun.

universe2go has several modes so you can explore the night sky in many different ways:

1) Discovery-Mode: explore all 88 official constellations. See lines connecting the appropriate stars and listen to information describing the constellation.

2) Mythology-Mode: listen to entertaining stories about the constellations which have been told by the ancient greeks. This way you will easily learn much about the heroes of old, Gods, Beasts and beautiful princesses.

3) Deep-Sky-Mode: see images (most of the from the Hubble Space Telescope) of planets, nebulae, star clusters, galaxies, comets, satellites in a way that would be impossible even with the best telescope. Many of them even in 3D which have been processed especially for universe2go.

4) Quiz-Mode: test your knowledge about the night sky. Find constellation that universe2go will show you.

universe2go contains more than 3 hours of excellent audio and hundreds of specially processed images. It contains the complete Hipparcos star catalogue (120.000 stars) and NGC catalogue (7.000 objects).

IMPORTANT: will need the universe2go Astro-Glasses to use the Planetariums-Mode. (see universe2go.com for getting it)

compatible iPhones: iPhone4, iPhone4S, iPhone5, iPhone5S, iPhone5C, iPhone6

Runs also on iPad (you can switch on a special simulation demo mode in the settings)

### 1/5 — Augen Kalibrierung nicht möglich

*2022-12-14, version 2.1.7*

Die Suche nach dem Menüpunkt der Augenkalibrierung Zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt über Einstellung ist nicht möglich . daher ist die App für mich nicht einsetzbar.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mit neuem iPhone SE (2020)

*2022-03-03, version 2.1.7*

Nach dem ersten Start der App auf dem iPhone SE 2 behauptet die App, die Ortungsdienste seien nicht verfügbar, obwohl alles eingeschaltet ist. Es wird die letzte bekannte Position genommen und damit funktioniert gar nichts. Die Brille ist unbrauchbar. Bitte beheben! Mit iPhone 11 und gleichen Einstellungen funktioniert es.

### 1/5 — Beschreibung im Gerät finde ich unzureichend

*2019-12-21, version 2.1.4*

Wir haben gestern versucht die Brille mit der App zum Laufen zu bringen und es ist uns nicht gelungen. Im Planetariumsmodus gab es keine Möglichkeit den Code einzugeben. Bei der Bildschirmaufforderung das Handy in die Brille einzulegen, passierte nichts mehr. Großer Pfeil wie es eingelegt werden soll und nicht passierte weiter. Den Bedienungsangaben bin ich genau gefolgt. Es ist frustrierend und ärgerlich.

### 5/5 — Man muss es selbst sehen, um es zu glauben❗️

*2019-04-29, version 2.1.2*

Ich habe mir die dazugehörige Brille geholt und bin begeistert! Nicht nur ich, sondern auch meine Kinder lieben es! Das beste ist, man kann es auch Tagsüber benutzen. Es ist echt super um mehr über unser Universum zu lernen. Man kann dieBrille  perfekt auf seine Augen einstellen. Top!

### 5/5 — Universe2go

*2018-08-31, version 2.1.2*

Tolle App für Sternbeobachtung!
Leicht zu bedienen!

### 5/5 — Geile Sache

*2018-04-28, version 2.1.2*

Klasse App gerade für mich als Laie mit einem NexStar 8 SE im Gepäck.Somit macht das beobachten doppelt Spaß.

### 1/5 — Crashing down

*2017-02-01*

I havent been able to launch it at all. Always crashes. So I am not even bothered to try planetarium version.

### 2/5 — Universe to go

*2016-12-07, version 2.0.5*

Seit dem neuesten Update, kein Pferde Kopf Nebel in 3 d sichtbar . Anvisieren schlechter geworden . Und totales ruckeln bei dem Sternbild Löwe  wo sich die vielen Galaxien befinden . Hab zwei iPhone 5 und bei beiden die gleichen Probleme. Eins hat auch die neueste software ... Hab auch mich da schon beschwert aber die Tipps die man bekommt, hatte ich vorher schon ausprobiert , und haben nicht geholfen .. Ich Kauf mir bestimmt kein neues Model wegen Universe to go .

### 3/5 — Licence code?

*2016-10-23, version 2.0.5*

The app accompanies the Astro glasses, I assume the licence code is included with the glasses.

### 1/5 — Stürzt während Kalibrierung ab :-(

*2016-08-12, version 1.5.0*

Stürzt mit iPhone 6 während Kalibrierung ab. Neuinstallation hilft auch nicht!
