SkEye | Astronomy

★★★★★ I used it. It's way better than google sky map. These people care about the performance of thier app. Edit: 6 years later and this app is still cool and functions properly. Skycap still sucks. Thank you devs.

★★★★★ It takes a bit of practice and patience, but it's fantastic once you get it. Hold the phone in your left hand in the center of the screen like pulling back a bow string. Put your pointer finger of right hand in the middle of your other two fingers, perpendicularly to the phone in every direction. You will soon be 👉 right at your goal ⭐!

★★★★★ This is an excellent app and one that gets better the more you learn to use it. I am exited by the indirect mode and am I looking forward to testing how useful and accurate it is when attached to my telescope. The search option allows you to sort objects by ease of viewing, but I do not understand on Stars why Vega is followed by two lower magnitude stars before Arcturus. For alignment, I think only 1 Mag stars and Polaris should be listed. Being able to add targets sounds good, so I will probably get the pro version,

★★☆☆☆ I've had this app for a while. My neighbor loved it and shared it with me. He could move his phone around, point at an object and click to identify it. I bought it but the potentiometer on my phone never worked. Now new phone. Still can't get it to work.

★★☆☆☆ App is completely backwards. I wanted to be able to tell what all the celestial bodies in the sky are now that we live in a desolate high desert mountain location but even tho my location is one and I've done the figure 8's for my gyroscope, facing east it says west and facing west it says east. The sun was setting to the west, and it said it was in the high noon position at 3:30pm in the winter. Extremely disappointed.

★★☆☆☆ Another app with a forced update from Play Store today. At least this one wasn't installed via F-Droid. But I turned off auto-updates so I'm mad. I know this app got issues, really don't care because I know how to mitigate them. App devs and Google in a.competition to see who can do toooo much. That makes app us all loosers. Clean your coding up, so Google can focus on meaningful changes or at least not make small app devs scapegoats for the BS.

★★☆☆☆ Great functionality, but the colors make it unpleasant to use. Hey, developers, can we please, please, please, please have a black sky background (option?) in all themes? Or even way better, add a color picker, so we can customize our own theme colors? And please, please, please give us landscape mode support. 5 stars gladly given if I can stop cussing at these two things. Best wishes. Thank you!
