Product description

The application allows you to recognize the stars in the sky.

Often the brightest stars are visible in the evening, but it is difficult to guess to what constellation they belong - Lyra, Cygnus, or Eagle. Or maybe it's Venus, Mars or Jupiter?

This question can answer this application.

    Not an actual star map or even the constellations but my son says "it is FREAKING AWESOME!!"

    Lasers make the random star pattern and a super bright gas cloud covers his room.

    On the brightest setting you won't need a light, on the dimmest setting it would be too bright for me to sleep under but my son loves it.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Too primitive for today's astronomy..

    With all the technology out there, I expected more than a star chart, and not a very good one at that. As far as I can tell, there's no way to index time and date. Details don't exist. Zooming in acts to make a small red dot into a slightly larger red dot... no labels, no info, no coordinates, nothing useful when trying to actually find a star. That is the title of this app, right? More or less, this is a paper star chart without the paper. There's much better to be had, even for free... try SkEye.

    initial thoughts : Ill update as I play with App

    Its quite a small download at 8 mb . its needs location information . the name is messed up though , it says ru.astro

    It shows you the starmap at a particular position. you have a list of cities conveniently to choose or you can add your position from a menu!
    3D function , was not useful for me :( ...

    3.0 out of 5 stars Does not offer vision from a particular loction facility.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    This sight does show you the night sky and the constellation. But it does not have a location or time of the month facing south you will see this facility, so it defeats the reason why you want it in the first to see from where you are standing what you should be seeing.

    Not a patch on Stellarium (for which you now are charged), really difficult to determine how to use, not remotely intuitive and who on earth (pun intended) decided on the default location settings (even London doesn't appear as an option.....?).
