The Earth is the clock. The Sun and the stars are the calendar. Astronomy, astrology, and timekeeping — reunited.
The sky above you, the Earth beneath you, the solar system you move through space. Three perspectives no other app combines this way.
For thousands of years humans read the sky to measure time, navigate the Earth, and find meaning in their existence. Astronomy, astrology, and timekeeping were one science. Cosmic Watch reunites them.
Free for the first time in ten years.

Love it. But.. on the screen, the very white multi-task bar at the bottom remains visible at all times. Is it possible to have this disappear unless that part of the screen is touched. It is a distraction and not very pleasing to see across the otherwise lovely graphics. Thank you!

Sizing of the actual app on the screen is not accurate and could do with adjustments otherwise the full app screen is not clearly visible. Had this app on a previous phone and had no problems so would be 5* but app needs updating so going 3 and half/ 4* this time round till updates are made.

This is the best astronomical app that I have found so far - sensational
Used to be good.

The latest version is a mess though. Too much information that you can't turn off. For example, if you turn off orbits and do fast forward they return when you speed up to 1 day/second. Not only does that seem unnecessary in itself, you have to go back to options to turn them off again. I won't recommend this anymore.
This is the biggest release in Cosmic Watch's ten-year history.
