My husband & I love astronomy and watching the night sky. This app does a great job of providing real-time access and information. The virtual rocket fly by feature is my favorite! I would like to see more information included for all the celestial bodies that are included in your database, some simply provide a redirect you to Wikipedia.

Useful for studying the great comets! However, update functionality for comets, eclipses, etc. don't work!? Please help!
★★★★☆JJ van der Meer· Jun 9, 2024
App is ok and works fine. However, the video adds are just horrible. Whose idea was it to have loud, bright, video adds start automatically when I am outside, in the dark trying to enjoy the night sky. Such a bad idea. I know you want to earn a buck, but there are better ways. Instant uninstallation. - Update: dev has updated this. I'll give it a try soon and will update my review then.
★★★★★Lisa Walsh· Dec 3, 2025
I love being able to look up to the sky with this app & it telling me what it is I'm looking at
★☆☆☆☆Graham Smith· Dec 12, 2023
If you are thinking of trying a free app for night sky viewing, skip this one. They constantly pop super bright ads in your face ruining the night sky experience. Try a different free app.

So I actually like this app, however It keeps shutting off after 3 seconds. I've tried reinstalling, but the same thing keeps happening. Help. In south alabama looking at the planets at night. There is a red one but looks to big for Mars, and I think it's the wrong time of the year for that one. So jupiter. Give me a fix.
