Pros & Cons

Very high user rating (4.78) from a large user base (313,126 reviews).
Massive reach with over 10,000,000+ downloads and 1.5M in the last 30 days.
Real-time identification of stars, planets, constellations, comets and satellites by pointing your device.
Rich catalog of deep sky objects and 3D solar system rendering with cross-cultural constellation views.

In-app Stellarium Plus unlocks advanced features (magnitude 22 visibility) and most enhanced observing tools, which means some power-user features are behind a paywall.
Some marketing terms used by competitors (e.g., live/view/explore) are less emphasized here, which may affect perceived breadth of experiences compared to others.
The core experience is free, but advanced capabilities require the Stellarium Plus upgrade.

This Tellurium - Star Map app is so great. I love it coz it maps all the stars in the sky. And this is new experience and knowledge to me.

Great for astronomy and just general interest in stars/planets

★☆☆☆☆ Broom · Jul 31, 2026

Sketchy. Only in Celsius. Requires a credit card, even though it CLAIMS you won't be charged. No need for a credit card!

★☆☆☆☆ john boyer · Aug 11, 2026

They charged me for plus when I never signed up for anything. Luckily I got refunded.
