Pros & Cons

Real-time 3D space visualization with accurate dynamics
Expandable catalogs with add-ons and 3D models

Some competitors emphasize astronomy content like stars, sky guides, or encyclopedic facts that are less central in Celestia's messaging
Marketing emphasis on VR and sky-watching features appears more prominent in competing apps than in Celestia

★★★★★ Vuyelwa Mxwayibe · Oct 15, 2026

The game 5 stars idc if the controllers are bad, but I want the game to make more galaxies and stars inside galaxies, so we can explore and the galaxy texture is kinda of bad pls make it look like real and one more thing black holes accretion disk and pls make them bend light and make it have cool details nice game btw I hope this happens

★★★★★ Polaris Valiant · Aug 6, 2026

This is basically space engine if it was on mobile I love this app

★★★★☆ Ann Mucendu · Oct 22, 2026

I love it, but the controls are hard to understand and the galaxy texture looks so bad, please make it look more realistically good and make the texture of when you land on any planet the texture to be realistic and be like space engine pls I'm literally begging. I hope that the developers see this.

★★☆☆☆ Rockin Star Dante · Oct 5, 2026

Every time I tried to go somewhere it always interrupted me and my journey to somewhere! 😡😡😡

★★☆☆☆ Petrisor Petrisor · Jun 24, 2026

This game is great it has add-ons, but the controls are not so good Sometime the game controls confuse itself like When I try to zoom out and in while focusing at the planet It opens a small menu And sometimes I cannot zoom out or in even if I did And sometimes its stuck at copying data Rarely for me this game is not for some users I feel like this is the only space explorer game with no ads
