Description by Waddensky Astronomy(from Google Play)
Did you see a light in the sky that you couldn't identify? What's Up! helps you find out what you saw by answering a few simple questions about your observation.
With help of What's Up!, you can easily identify stars, planets, airplanes, satellites, meteors and much more.
Have you ever seen a UFO (Unidentified flying object)? In most cases these sightings can easily be identified as something natural or man-made. Venus for example often looks like an exceptionally bright, stationary light in the twilight sky. A bright star like Sirius or Canopus can twinkle so much that it looks like it's boiling and changing colours rapidly. Meteors or bolides can be seen as a bright flashes, often leaving a trail. And did you know sky lanterns or migrating birds sometimes look like a formation of lights moving in the sky at night?
What's Up! helps you identify your sighting by answering a few questions about your observation. All sightings feature an illustrative picture, a description of what the sighting normally looks like when seen in the sky, and some background information. Of course you can share your sighting with your social network.

Comments on What's Up! Identify sky lights for Android
★★★★★
Works quite well except how little questions and how it rarely gives the wrong answer, I recommend it. 9/10
★★★★★
The astronomy app in question offers a deep dive into the cosmos for those willing to explore. While it may have a steeper learning curve, its complexity can be seen as a strength for more experienced stargazers. With a vast database of celestial objects and detailed sky maps, this app can be a treasure trove for astronomy enthusiasts. It challenges users to expand their knowledge and navigate the heavens with determination. However, it might benefit from more user-friendly features and tutorial
★★☆☆☆
A few questions give a generic answer like "satellite", "star", "plane", "bolide". That's ok, but I imagined that it would use my location to give me *specific* information, like *which* satellite.
★★☆☆☆
Hardly asks any questions, and the questions that were asked were hardly ones that I imagine would be necessary to determine what was really seen. The app kept suggesting that I saw a flock of birds, even though it was clearly a red flashing light in the middle of the night. Didn't bother asking the color of the lighr, the distance from me, my location etc. totally useless app. I was really hopeful too because its such a great idea. Just horrible made.
★★☆☆☆
Scope of identifying questions far too narrow and vague to be helpful. It should ask questions relating to area object spotted, angle above horizon, which direction viewer was facing to see object, time of day/night, movement if any, and time object remains visible. Also, it would be ideal to allow users to post their sightings in app to compare notes.
