We have so much fun using this app. Intuitive enough you don’t need instructions or tutorials. Just open the app, listen to the peaceful nocturnal chants, and find astrological images interacting with planets and stars. We have used the camera feature to capture some whimsical images, and are always intrigued to see Hubble or the ISS cruising the universe. Thank you!

One of the best apps in sky gazing. . Great tool to view our universe without a telescope
Close but no cigar for my use

After getting notification about the space station flying over, I have to type in ISS, let it search and click on the result to find the general direction to look in. It’s not terribly accurate. Also, I was able to track space junk on the screen for the first few days after downloading the app but that stopped and has never returned. Go to work on that free version if you want to sell the pay version. notification about the space station flying over, which I can’t figure it how to recreate or undo, I have to type in ISS, let it search and click on it to find the general direction to look in.

I think the app is really cool and I definitely see some of the things that it is talking about how ever I don’t know why it is still showing me things when my phone is pointed towards the ground
Wrong!
