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.

EXCELLENT

The night sky app is an excellent tool for anyone interested in stargazing or astronomy. With its intuitive interface and comprehensive database of celestial bodies, this app makes it easy to identify and learn about the objects in the night sky. One of the standout features of the night sky app is its augmented reality mode, which allows you to point your phone or tablet at the sky and see a labeled map of the stars and planets superimposed on your screen. This feature is incredibly useful for identifying objects in the sky, especially for beginners who may not be familiar with the constellations. In addition to its augmented reality mode, the night sky app also includes detailed information about each celestial object, including its name, distance from Earth, and interesting facts about its properties and history. This makes the app a great educational resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of astronomy. Overall, I highly recommend the night sky app for anyone interested in stargazing or astronomy. Its user-friendly interface and comprehensive database of celestial objects make it an essential tool for both beginners and experienced stargazers alike.

Brilliant App

This app truly humbles you, that moment when you open the app you can see everything! Stars galaxy’s,planets,the Milky Way, and even satellites. One of my favorite features is that your able to view most if not all objects in an interactive 3D space. It’s a beautiful app with stellar accuracy. A problem you will see is that it’s not 100% accurate when you look to the sky but that’s an easy fox just find the section to put in your current location and when you do I promise it gets much more accurate. I personally have a telescope and this app truly fascinates me, I use it to help find objects I use it to help see what objects are there’s just so much good in the app with or without the subscription. The app also has many other various features such as the news category which fills you in on all the latest new regarding astronomy. I personally love the app and am sure you will love it too!
