SkyView® Explore the Universe

I almost never pay to upgrade apps. My young child wanted to see planets not shown on the free version. Plus, I have a severe lack of navigation, so the background of my surroundings really helps to eliminate questions. After a few prompts to upgrade for $2, I gave it a try. We're really enjoying it, and I was pleasantly surprised by the difference. This is one upgrade I haven't regretted.

Basically point and shoot. Everywhere you look your screen will be filled with everything you can think of. Planets, stars, constellations, satellites, space junk, paths, and tons more. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to learn, just look around! I've been using SkyView for years! A one time upgrade fee of $2 is well worth every penny for what you get. Planetarium experience in your pocket. May I also say that the background music is intoxicatingly beautiful!

I liked the lite version, so I paid the 2 bucks for the "full" version. And to my surprise, there was a significant marging of error, in terms of location of planets, from the lite free version to the paid one. The moon really made it clear how off is the lite app. And then the paid version isn't as exact neither. Took it a while to realize it was off, and eventually aligned.

great app for identifying things in the sky, unfortunately, it isn't calibrating well. Off by a bit at first and now, it's so bad I ended up having to download 2 other apps to compare. on July 6th at 545AM Venus was extremely bright in the sky, not only could the app not identify it, I had to turn my body with phone in hand about 45 degrees for it to spot "Venus" and there was nothing in the sky. It also no longer spots satellites or space junk in our orbit like it used to. =(

HIGHLY RECOMmENDED APP. Download the unbelievable free version or pay for the premium. Either way, put it on your phone. Even if you don't care for astronomy, astrology or the celestial reality of the earth's position in a frozen, blackened void. It's just awesome. Premium version is that much better. Can't say enough good things about it. The simplicity makes it perfect. Might be the best app for android I've ever seen. Download it now, you won't be disappointed.
