Comments on Starlight® - Explore the Stars for Android
★★★★★Monica Campbell· Nov 15, 2024
Have had this app a while, it's reliable and my go to for identifying what's in the sky. I also like that I can point my camera in the direction I'm looking, and it automatically adjusts my screen for what I'm seeing

Easiest way to identify constellations, stars and planets in real time. Easy to use. Aim camera anywhere 360° in any direction and see ALL planets, stars and constellations.
★★★★★Doug Blakeslee· Jan 16, 2025
A neat app to see the constellations with you line in the big city and can't see the stars reliably.

This app says it's not compatible with my phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy a03s. I don't understand how it's not compatible. It doesn't make sense. I wish someone could explain why. The phone it was compatible with prior to this was the LG rebel 4. That phone had an earlier version of android on it. So why is my current version of android not compatible. The developer of needs to explain why. I don't like vague answers.

While trying to move around environment manually it first spontaneously changed from landscape to portrait then went black, with only a compass symbol in the corner. A message appeared saying App not responding, and option given was to wait or close App. Waiting did nothing, so gave up and closed App. FYI, the App and Samsung S24 Ultra software is up-to-date as was the App and phone has been restarted.
