• 6,441 deep sky objects, with details such as distance from Earth, diameter, apparent size and orientation, and morphology
• All 88 modern constellations, with lines based on the outlines from "The Stars: A New Way to See Them" by H.A. Rey
• MacRobert and Classic constellation lines also available
• Location-based-services (LBS) / Global Positioning System (GPS) support, or manually enter your longitude and latitude
• Adjustable date and time of day

Normally a good app, buuut...

I use this app all the time! But, unfortunately with the recent update, it no longer works the way it is supposed to. Instead of following my phone’s movements, it now freely sliding all over the celestial sphere, not obeying my movements at all. I figured that perhaps this is the result of a bug from the recent update, but I cannot find any place to submit bug issues. So, here I am. Otherwise, this app has been amazing! Just needs a bug fix is all.
Great for stargazers

Map is great for identification of what’s above us in the sky. Today is 9/29/2019. I’ve had this app for a few years now. I discovered it crashes when typing in the search box.
What a universe!

Love this app! So great to identify a star or planet. Works every time and easy to use
Fantastic App

Constantly use your fine app to teach my son about the power and grandeur right above our heads, that all too often goes unnoticed/under-appreciated in this frantically stressed-out world of ours. Your app is especially useful for noting when planets such as Jupiter will be visible for telescopic viewing, which in our low light-pollution neighborhood, usually allows for spectacular views of my 2nd favorite planet & her many moons. Thanks again for all you do to make this super fun & educational app available for free. My only suggestion would be to consider creating a section with links to video content such as noted astronomers & physicists discussing various cutting-edge astronomical & cosmological theories along with footage taken of various cosmological events such as planetary alignments & meteor showers visible to even amateur astronomers. Add a section for uploading pics & vids sent by amateur astronomers like myself, and a chat section for sharing views on recent astronomical activity & a wide range of theories & discussions about the universe and our ultimate role as living sentient beings within the universe, would make the perfect compliment to the aforementioned professional discussion area and make your already stellar site (pun intended), just that much more ‘out of this world’ (oops...I did it again).

I love this app- it’s fascinating and so informative. But mostly, it’s just super cool!
Where are the stars I bought?

This app is intuitive, graphically beautiful, mesmerizing. Lose yourself stargazing.
Terrific Stargazing app!

Had used SkyView for ages but switched to this app because it offered the Rey style of visualizing the constellations which I grew up on and feel is superior to the classic, MacRobert and other styles. Also it allows for finding comets too, which is cool. I was recently using it to try to find comet ATLAS C/2019 Y4 which was in its catalog, until I read that it broke up (alas!). Now I am hoping the app developers soon will add the newly discovered SWAN C/2020 F8 to the app’s catalog in the next update so that I can start hunt for that comet in its place!! If so, will add the fifth star!
