This is my favorite star map of all!!!

My mother and I have been amateur astronomers forever and love tracking the night sky. This is the best app I’ve used to help us. It concisely gives all the information I have ever been curious about and is easy to read, navigate, and make sense of.
I tried three other star guides in addition to this one, and they failed me and are not used. THIS App, is a favorite of mine I and recommend it all of the time.
Pick this one.

ok app, but completely ruined my calendar

the app itself works pretty good. tracking is decent, plenty of data. i wish the time slider was a little more intuitive. there isnt much support for comets or asteroids but thats ok. the bad thing that happened, is that the app has accessed my calendar and jam packed it with every single upcoming moon phase and astronomical event for the next 1000 years. this wouldn’t be so bad- in fact, it would be pretty neat- if it weren't for the fact that every event was added precisely FOURTEEN TIMES. my calendar is utterly filled with endless identical entries, thereby making it difficult to find other calendar events of mine. furthermore, even after revoking the apps access to the calendar and even deleting the app altogether, the redundant entries are still there. i would have to go along and delete them manually, one at a time- which would likely take several lifetimes. so, i will have to live with this and be content to be emphatically over informed about every single upcoming and passed astronomical event, for the rest of my natural lifespan

Developer Response ,

Hello there, and thanks for your review! We are sorry for the trouble the app has caused you, but we have fixed this issue in the newest update. This fix will only add a single calendar event to a separate "Astronomy" calendar, which you can delete at will without affecting your main calendar. Also, this update will clean your main calendar of ALL events that were previously added by StarMap 3D. We actually fixed this bug for the Plus version a few months ago, but we accidentally didn't issue the update for the regular version, doh!

Again, we are so sorry for causing problems with your calendar, and we greatly appreciate that you were extremely lenient with your 30-star rating, as well as your darkly humorous review of our app. Anyway, your review kicked our butt into submitting the calendar fix for this Regular version of the app, so thank you very much for that!

Star Map 3D

As a non-astrological expert, I can name a handful of stars and planets. This app is fantastic and teaches you everything you may be seeing in the sky. I say may because of light pollution. I can see where certain stars should be visible but due to all the surrounding light, just aren’t visible to the naked eye. The whole family loves it. You can set alerts for full moon, satellites zooming by, etc. just a great app for those who want to have fun!
