Editors’ Notes
This planetarium in your pocket makes it easy to discover the wonders of space wherever you go. Day or night, just aim your device skyward to see a live 3D map of the heavens, complete with beautifully illustrated constellations, stars, planets, and satellites. A special night mode helps you read the map in the dark, while integrated weather reports show the best times for stargazing. You can even have notifications alert you to future astronomical events.
It’s like Pokemon Go for Astronomy lovers!
With the help of the app I was finally able to see the ISS, I don’t know how but I’ve been missing out on it until now.
I also got a notification yesterday about an upcoming meteor shower. I saw a couple of shooting “stars”! 💫
I am beyond impressed!

Thank you for your review! Happy stargazing!
beautiful design, sadly inaccurate views
i am using on ipad pro 2021 and even though the app is beautifully designed, i have had confusion before about it being accurate for when im using it - i gave it a final test yesterday, put the ipad under the Full Moon so it (i thought) could not be mistaken… well not only did it not recognize the Moon but gave me a completely false view :( the app itself has a magical design and really interesting facts, beautiful i,agery, but if its not accurate in locating the sky, im sad to say its money thrown out of the window ..;( i dont know if this is a problem i myself experience only, but i have geo tagging on and all, i dont know what else could be at fault.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your review! This could be a calibration issue. In order to make sure your device is calibrated correctly, please make sure you are not using a third party case on your device. This can sometimes interfere with the compass causing an inaccurate reading. Also you can manually align the sky using the compass alignment tool, just tap the triangular shape in the top left hand side of the screen to do this then swipe the sky to tweak alignment. We hope this has helped, however if we can be of anymore assistance, please reach out to the team at Support@NightSky.com. We hope to earn your 5 star review!
