Study thousands of stars, comets, and satellites with Fifth Star Labs’ stunningly gorgeous astronomy app. Using a built-in compass, Sky Guide lets you easily locate constellations and other celestial bodies—or you can simply hold up your device and learn more about what’s in front of you via dramatic photos and detailed descriptions. A stirring soundtrack and a time-lapse feature that shows where the moon and other objects will be later make your stargazing experience even more enchanting.
Absolutely amazing app for people who love space
Sky Guide has truly transformed my passion for astronomy and deepened my love for space exploration! This app is not just a tool; it’s an immersive experience that brings the night sky to life. The intuitive design makes it easy to identify stars, planets, and constellations with just a glance. I love the detailed information and fascinating facts about each celestial body, which have ignited my ambition to learn more about the universe.
What I appreciate most is how Sky Guide makes astronomy accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of expertise. The stunning visuals and engaging interface have made my stargazing sessions not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. It’s inspired me to explore more about space and even consider pursuing it as a hobby.
I can’t recommend Sky Guide enough for anyone looking to enhance their understanding and appreciation of the cosmos. It has truly been a guiding star in my journey through the universe!
Killer Astro App with amazingly useful localisation
I’ve tried stacks of Astro apps over the years. This absolutely nails it in terms of powerful features packaged in the most elegant and easy to use UI. But the real killer feature is localisation. More often than not this level of detail only works in certain countries or cities - but I was delighted to see it works perfectly for me in Adelaide, Australia. I’m talking really useful info like light pollution, cloud cover and visual magnitude - the type of weather data very specific to astronomy and stargazing. This is presented in a very useful format that’s already filtered to my geo location and doesn’t require interpretation of generic weather and maps. There’s also a range of Astro news that’s timely, well curated, and seamlessly integrated. Love this App!
