SkyView® Explore the Universe

I have always been thrilled by looking up at the night sky. Even though I live where there are street lights dimming the clear view of stars, with this app I can identify planets and see where the major constellations are. It is really neat! I look forward to using this when I visit my daughter who lives in a more rural area. By using my phone camera and aiming where I see a star or planet, it is identified clearly.

Love it! Big help in locating specific stars, planets, constellations, meteor showers, you name it. Beats the heck out of trying to identify things using just a book. When I got my current phone, I installed quite a few astronomy apps and tried them all, thinking I'd keep the top three and use all three for maximum information and different perspectives. After a few days, I found myself using this app exclusively. Don't need anything else... Just make sure you calibrate it right.

I find this app very good, the constellation arts are accurate, and it also provides information on stars. Only problem I found is, it doesn't have images of objects other than stars and planets in the information section. For example, Andromeda and Sombrero galaxy. This information is helpful when I'm stargazing through a telescope and need to find these objects. Also the angle of view of the sky is very low. Most of the time, I can't see a complete constellation in one screen.

Each time I get a new phone, I always try at least two other, new to me, sky map apps, I always come back to this one. It's easy to use. Their screen is stable making it essy to mark the object of interest. There isn't clutter all over the screen. All the information needed is right on the screen. I love this app and it's worth the upgrade. A solid five star app.

I use the first free one and I am so satisfied. Than why I am a buying this? Because to say how valuable this successful practice they have done. So this one is much better than other. Application is very successful.. for me :+)
