Description
This app helps you locate 12P / Pons-Brooks in the night sky. Just hold your device up to the sky and find the red target marker on the screen. That's where the comet is! The app uses your location and up-to-date ephemerides from the NASA JPL's Horizons database to calculate the comet's position.
What’s New
Version 8.2
Fixes a text rendering issue when accessibility features are enabled.
Ratings and Reviews
Pretty Good
Other apps were bad but this helped me. I think it was Neowise! Make an app for the comet “Atlas” next year! 👍
What gives?
No tracking. Does not show comet.
Prior to leaving this I read what to do. I entered my location and still the app does not track the comet.
Developer Response ,
The app needs your location and access to the compass in order to be working correctly. That doesn't seem to be the case for you. Go to the Setting App, Privacy, then Location Services. Check that the Comet NEOWISE app has access to you location. In addition, tap on "System Services" and make sure "Compass Calibration" is turned on.
Kudos to dev, great app
Great app, helped us find the comet by looking at the constellations- thank you and awesome developer!
