Comments on Skywheel for Android

★★★★★ This is a great little app to quickly see what's up in the sky. The interface is minimalistic, intuitive, and it's great for determining any in depth research you might want to do before heading out to enjoy the night sky.

★★★★★ Love it! Being an amateur astronomer, (I mainly view the Sun*, Moon & planets), I do not have to open an intensive astronomy app to see what planet is above the horizon at any given time. * i.e. whitle-light with an appropriate filter on my telescope.

★★★★★ Dear developer, what an amazing app you have created for us. Thank you so much. May I ask you for implementing a real compass to it? Namaste - the SpiritT within me salutes the SpiritT in you

★★★★★ Really like this app. You can see the position of the moon at a glance. Moon rise & set is my bases of High tide and Low tide, without looking at Tide table. Moon phase is also visible in real time. Just one wish, allow background transparency settings on the widget. Thanks.

★★☆☆☆ It is July 9, 2023. I notice the widget is no longer auto-updating. Please fix this issue. I'll give 5 stars when the widget is fixed.
