App permissions: Sky Map has no required permissions. Each permission below is optional — you may refuse any of them and still use the app. Nothing is requested at startup; each is asked for only when you first use the feature that needs it, and each can be withdrawn separately in your device settings. ⭐ Location (optional) — used to draw the sky for where you are. Refuse it and you can enter a place name or coordinates by hand instead. Your location never leaves your device. ⭐ Camera (optional) — used only by through-camera mode, which overlays the sky on the live camera view. Refuse it and every other mode works as normal. The image is never recorded or transmitted. ⭐ Notifications (optional) — used only to tell you about meteor-shower peaks and tonight's sky, if you ask for them. They stay off until you turn them on.
Recent changes: New in 2.1 Home-screen widgets: Moon phase, Tonight's sky and Sky countdown. Searchable Help and an alt/az grid.
New in 2.0 Rebuilt from scratch: accurate Sun and Moon, planet phases, eclipses, a fresh look and 28 languages.

Very fun and easy to use but needs to be updated more often with things relevant to astronomical news. I wanted to look for 3I Atlas with my telescope when it was at its closest to Earth. I tried to use Sky Map to help me find it, but searched results turned up nothing. It didn't appear on sky map when I pointed my phone in the direction it was supposed to be in either. Overall though, it's fun and interesting with a bunch of useful data for casual astronomers, and is usually very helpful.

Had this app on my phone for years, I use it to see where I object are before I grab the telescope

I've used this app for years. But over the last month(July26). It's been terrible. The app changed and the update has prevented it from finding the correct location or time that the assignments are set. It had the moon below the horizon while I clear have a good view of it on front of me. Whatever happened with the update it has messed up a really good app. I've tried reinstalling, yet it still makes the same mistakes. Nobody will want to use it in its current state.

Tho it does move with your phones' movement, it is incorrect. The sun was so off center.

Calibration. I can understand if the phone does not have a gyroscope, but this is ridiculous. Tried on 3 different phones all with gyroscopes and the calibration is always "unreliable" and the calibration steps do nothing to made it better. 😑 EDIT: Wow, it only took you 3 years and 4 months to respond......

Either the app or my pixel is terrible with the compass. It used to be great.... the fact that it used to have an accurate compass was why this was such a useful app. Now it's just a sky map that I use like a manual map.

GPS is wrong. Can't find a full moon. Worked great before. What happened? I see other reviews with the same complaints. Sad...this was good... I tried all different settings, nothing works. I downloaded another app, works fine, not a problem with my phone.
