Comments on Planets for Android

★★★★☆ Michael Green · Nov 9, 2021

Great app. Been using it for years. Only slight issue is the light side of the moon is on the wrong side in the Southern Hemisphere.

★★★★★ Joao Vitorino · Dec 15, 2022

This is exactly what I wanted. What's that red dot on the sky? Is it it Mars? Point the phone camera at it and... Yes it is! Phenomenal! Now it's easy to find where stuff is in the sky.

★★★★★ Just a frog Passing by · Nov 26, 2024

I freaking love this app, been using it for years to see what star or planet I'm staring at. I do hope the quality can still be improved! 🪐

★★★★☆ Marcus Ossowicki · Mar 22, 2025

it's a great app, but for some reason it keeps losing my location, and putting me at 0,0 without letting me change it manually.

★☆☆☆☆ Gary Capelin · Feb 5, 2025

I couldn't open the app after installing. I got a message saying the app had a bug and to try again after developer has fixed it.

★☆☆☆☆ Hayden Thompson · Sep 24, 2022

Couldn't even open it because it's not compatible with newer versions of android. Please update

★★☆☆☆ Andy Ray · Feb 27, 2025

Very detailed, but you cannot hold your phone on the planet as the location is 360 degrees out on what you are looking at. There must be a reason as most apps have the same fault.
