Star Reacher

Compass for the night sky

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Star Reacher turns your phone into a compass for the night sky. Instead of showing a complex star map, Star Reacher points you directly toward visible celestial objects using your phone’s sensors and location. Simply lay your phone flat and follow the on-screen pointer to quickly find planets and the Moon in the real sky. HOW IT WORKS Star Reacher uses your device’s GPS, compass, and orientation sensors to calculate where celestial objects are visible from your location. The app shows: • Azimuth – the direction of the object relative to north • Altitude – how high above the horizon to look • A real-time direction pointer to guide you Follow the pointer, look up, and find your target in the sky. FINDING CELESTIAL OBJECTS Double-tap anywhere on the screen to cycle through currently visible objects. Currently supported: • The Moon • Visible planets Each object includes real-time altitude and azimuth data for precise positioning. DESIGNED FOR SPEED AND SIMPLICITY Many astronomy apps are complex and overwhelming. Star Reacher focuses on fast, intuitive guidance so you can immediately know where to look. Perfect for: • Beginner stargazers • Astronomy students • Casual night sky observers • Anyone curious about the Moon and planets
