Description

Stellarium Mobile FREE - Star Map is a planetarium app that shows exactly what you see when you look up at the stars.

Identify stars, constellations, planets, comets, satellites (such as the ISS), and other deep sky objects in real time in the sky above you in just a few seconds, just by pointing the phone at the sky!

This award-winning astronomy application has an easy to use and minimalist user interface, that makes it one of the best astronomical applications for adults and children who want to explore the night sky.

Stellarium Mobile FREE main features:

★ View an accurate night sky simulation of stars and planets for any date, time and location.

★ Dive in a collection of many stars, nebulas, galaxies, star clusters and other deep sky objects.

★ Discover how people living in other regions of the planet see the stars by selecting the shapes and illustrations of the constellations for many sky cultures.

★ Track artificial satellites, including the International Space Station.

★ Zoom on realistic Milky Way and Deep Sky Objects images.

★ Simulate landscape and atmosphere with realistic sunrise, sunset and atmosphere refraction.

★ Discover 3D rendering of the major solar system planets and their satellites.

★ Observe the sky in night mode (red) to preserve your eyes adaptation to darkness.

Stellarium Mobile FREE contains in-app purchases allowing to upgrade to Stellarium Mobile PLUS. With this upgrade, the app will display objects as faint as magnitude 22 (versus magnitude 8 in the FREE version) and enable advanced observing features.

Stellarium Mobile PLUS features (unlocked with in-app purchase):

★ Reach the limit of knowledge with massive extended celestial bodies catalogs:
• All known stars: Gaia DR2 catalog of over 1.69 billion stars
• All known planets, natural satellites and comets, and many other minor solar system objects (10k asteroids)
• Most known deep sky objects: a combined catalog of over 2 million nebulas and galaxies

★ Zoom almost without limits on high resolution images of deep sky objects or planetary surfaces.

★ Observe in the field, even without internet connection, with a "reduced" set of data: 2 million stars, 2 million Deep Sky Objects, 10k asteroids.

★ Control your telescope through Bluetooth or WIFI: drive any GOTO telescope compatible with NexStar, SynScan or LX200 protocols.

★ Prepare your observing sessions using the advanced observation tools, to predict a celestial objects observability and transit times.

Stellarium Mobile FREE - Star Map is made by the original creator of Stellarium, the well known open source planetarium and one of the best astronomy applications on Desktop PC.

September 14, 2019

Pretty awesome. Helped me navigate my bit of sky.just started so more later
September 10, 2019

This is a great app. It's simple to use, realistic sky and I consider it to be the best planetarium app on the market!!
September 09, 2019

Need to restart phone to escape from app!
October 25, 2019

Well i have it on my desk top and love it,was dowmloading it onto my android phone it tells me it is installed,been waiting 30 mins and it is not
October 20, 2019

Mind blowing, incredible app, thanks!
November 28, 2019

Does not move. What good is it? Uninstalled in 10 secs.
November 19, 2019

Not given 5 stars as I can't seem to find the log out button otherwise the app is brilliant. Thanks for the response and soo quick, don't know how I didn't get that! A 5+ app thank you very much.
November 17, 2019

Frankly the best and nothing else comes close. I also have the desktop version and can't recommend both desktop and mobile versions enough.
November 16, 2019

Great app! Is there a way to make it daytime??
November 15, 2019

Very good, except difficult to exit
November 05, 2019

Beware temperamental android install issues :) Finally installed the app, so far so good, looks impressive.
May 31, 2020

Great app! It would be awesome to have a list of futur visible events for the current position.
May 31, 2020

Love this app but as of today I can no longer find the ISS nor Hubble station when using the search feature. Did something change?? Or just PEBKAC ? Lol. Tx
May 26, 2020

Just downloaded. Wanted to look at constellation right on horizon. 1/2 of it blocked by a fake tree as part of "horizon" scape. Fake things are usually not helpful imo
May 24, 2020

Excellent app able to locate anything you may want. You need to have quick look at ads, but only one at a time. Maybe add news of stars with planets later?
May 22, 2020

Point at the sky and get the full picture even when only some pieces of the jigsaw are visible, an easy way to learn about the night sky. I find this app excellent, thank you
May 21, 2020

Have used this app on PC many years to plan sky viewing. Having it on the phone makes it more convenient and very helpful in the field.
May 19, 2020

Brilliant App for planning deep sky targets for imaging. Stellarium gives all the information you need. Only improvement for me would to have az/alt on the first page clearly visible.
May 18, 2020

Why every time I open the app I have to set up the time? When I open it it says 22.59. I change it,leave the app and when I go back the time is the same,22.59. Can you fix it, please?
May 17, 2020

Exactly as useful and as good as any other free app. $13??? Ugh... Not worth it! No tutorial of any sort, no help, it promises the universe, literally, in description, talks about planets, how I'll learn so much, the tools... Omg like entire toolset! You buy it, upgrade it, and nothing improves, nothing changes, no new info, no sign of planets... This is a bogus scam app and I'm going to report it.
May 14, 2020

Love it. Wish I'd had this app years ago when you actually see the Night sky. Before light pollution. Brilliant.
May 13, 2020

Unbelievable app, I never bother to rate apps but will in this case as it's absolutely brilliant. You couldn't want for anything more with this, it's fantastic.
May 13, 2020

Great app. Have had lots of fun exlporing the night sky. I use the pc version for some incredible closeups of tbe planets and nebula. Even found a satillite by accicdent to track. Maybe a way to record timelapes in the future would be great as at the moment you have to press control S every second to get a video. Did that for the traclking of the satillite.
May 12, 2020

Great app and would have got 5 except for the fact the the compass will not calibrate on my phone (S20 with Android 10). Luckily I know the points of the compass around my house! Hopefully an update will sort this issue.
May 12, 2020

Really good app, learning alot at night in the garden by using it. Also fun to track the satellites going overhead. The only complaint I could make was when tracking the genesis 1 satellite, when I pressed on info, it gave me not information about the satellite, but a long rambling criticism of Jews and Christians who are silly for believing in the Bible. Not really sure what that has to do with the satellite and could be very offensive to some. Other than that it's fine.
May 08, 2020

I started with the free version after purchasing my first celestron telescope. Living out on the Canadian prairies, this app along with unobstructed view of the heavens has got me addicted to amateur astronomy. Most objects are easy to find and data is neatly layed out for the best viewing experience. I would strongly recommend the plus version since visibility data is very helpful in finding and planning best viewing times. Great bang for the buck.
May 07, 2020

Thanks for the tip found it..great app looking at the full moon in the back garden with the kid's spotting stars and planets etc this is a great help 👍👍👍👍👍 well done to the developers.
May 06, 2020

Excellent app, the best available. Up-to-date with comets - great for the challenge of comet hunting. Unexpected feature was the location of all those SapceX StarLink satellites.
May 04, 2020

I absolutely love this app. It's fairly easy to use (there's couple annoying things but they don't matter tbh). It's very handy. I hope to see them develop it even more.
May 02, 2020

Easy to use, but paid version better. Free version only has alt-azi coordinates and stars down to just below naked eye visibility, but uses your device's sensors well to align accurately.
May 01, 2020

Amazing! It worked fine on my open source Android phone and positioning accuracy was excellent. Uncomplicated screen without uneccessary overlays & sounds, a great & functional app. Well done!
June 27, 2020

Exceptional app, easy to navigate and very informative. Pretty happy with it. Clear skies to all :)
June 27, 2019

Finally.. found Stellarium for android. Loved this on pc when it first came out.
June 25, 2020

Useless. I wondered why I was being shown a sky that was nothing like what I was seeing, and realised that it was set to some time after 6pm when I was out before dawn. I had to go to a setting to set it to my system time. Then upon reopening, it doesn't default back to my set system time. If an astronomy app doesn't have the basic functionality at free level to show me what's in the sky, at my current time, then it's a steaming great pile of garbage.
June 22, 2020

Brilliant app - been installing it on my devices for years. 4 stars because fewer and fewer features are available without giving them money. Doesn't seem right for open source educational stuff.
June 21, 2020

In comparison to Sky Guide on iPhone this is not as usable. Can't see the stars during the day and gives generic location photo. Why? Useful features are behind a paywall. Will probably uninstall.
June 20, 2020

Great app. Have upgraded to the paid version to have even more options and no ads. 👍💯
June 19, 2020

I've used other "star gazing" apps, but this one seems to be head & shoulders over the others. There doesn't seem to be anything in the sky that it can't identify, and you can zoom in on many of them like a telescope. Pretty cool for free.
June 18, 2020

The app is easy to use and browse the skies but is missing alot of features like updates on what to gaze at in the current day, a list of objects like planets, moons,satellites, intersting stars and astroids that you can read about and center on. Even with the plus version i did not see any of these features. Hoping for an update to match the tablet version
June 14, 2020

Very nice. Allows me to view the night sky and clear up any confusion as to what I am.looking at. The best app I have used for this.
June 05, 2020

Brilliant, informative and clear, also great for kids, I'm now able to show my kids the satellites in the app, and then search in the sky the night sky and identify and follow satellites through binoculars. 👍

June 02, 2020

Very good app for planning your astrophotography session, with a useful option for framing your image. Although, it is hard to precisly choose the size of the field of view since the control is only a slider, would be nice to be able to write exactly the field of view with the keyboard.
July 12, 2020

Five stars, accurate readings and super helpful options to time lapse and turn on/off atmosphere, landscape etc.
July 11, 2020

Simple, easy to use and does exactly what I want, identify stars outside at night.
July 11, 2020

Accurate and informative, helps you track the skies for whatever you are looking for, ive just found Neowise comet thanks to this app. 👍
July 09, 2020

Excellent App. Would it be possible in a future update to be able to save a 'Favourites' list to enable quick access to objects?
July 07, 2020

This app is really easy to use and presented in an engaging way with loads of info to tap into if you want to.
July 04, 2020

Best planetarium app out there !! So handy when on the move, and I use the desktop version as well to better plan my astrophotography nights
