Honestly, I've tried other apps and i feel this is the best one out here. the only downfall which isn't the fault of the app by any means is if you have a cheap phone that doesn't have all of the instruments built in to make it work like the compass for example. i know the earlier Samsung a series like a03 doesn't work with this app but the a14, a15 and so on does work! i honestly couldn't ask for a better starchart app it even shows old rocket bodies and satellites! 10 stars if i could! 🔭🌟🌌

Best space app

this app is very interesting, it tells me when an object appears and it shows every kind of star, planet, zodiac ,etc. this is a very educational way to see everything in space. which is why this app should be the best space app out of all the other space apps.Keep up the good work on sky view. I would also like to talk abot the satelites app. it is very nice to look at all the satelites in space, i would like to ask if you could add a "All Satelites" button so it would be easier to see all of it then clicking each type of statelite. But still Keep up the good work guys!

All you need to explore the sky

Very well put together, the app lets you explore and learn about what is above us at our own pace.
