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 object 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.

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.
June 27, 2019

Finally.. found Stellarium for android. Loved this on pc when it first came out.
January 31, 2020

Awesome!
January 26, 2020

My best astronomy app ever. Works great on my PC and my smartphone. I use many astro apps and Stellarium I use most as it beats most others hands down. I wouldn't say it's the best, but definitely in the top 1. And it doesn't rip you off like Skysafri Pro did with me when I paid £30 for pro version, change phone, & wouldn't transfer. Will upgrade soon as I know, I will be able to switch devices with stallarium. I phoned sky Safari, & they basically said "tough s## Stellarium rocks love it.
January 23, 2020

46MB just for an update - joking!! Also hard to shut it down when I've finished!
January 18, 2020

Initially thought poor as screen did not match with sky. Then discovered that time in lower right didn't match actual time. Once sorted all fine but no idea how it got out of sync in the first place.
January 16, 2020

Despite keying in the correct co-ordinates, it insists that I am around 30 miles from my location. Of course, I am relying on a Google answer for my location... Shame really, happily used the Linux version for years. Update: I tried this on a tablet where Location is rarely set on so it was using WiFi based location. Retried with Location switched on and it correctly found my position. I have now updated my review rating.
January 13, 2020

Best app I've found so far that works
January 12, 2020

Excellent job! Well done to the software developers!
January 10, 2020

I bought this app for my android 4.4 on my new phone I get a free version completely cut down. Menus are limited and prompt to upgrade... It is so far away from my other version I am removing it... In response to developer, I have been a longtime user of desktop stellarium and have written scripts for comet paths etc. I am unable to download the paid version without paying again. I'll keep stellarium on my old phone and tablet. This version now removed.
January 08, 2020

Nice but strange and crazy
January 08, 2020

Accurate and full of useful and easy to use features. The one I like the most is the search engine, once your search is done a pointer to the planet/object appears so you know where to look to find it.
January 07, 2020

Free version doesn't work. Just seems to show a random view of the sky unrelated to my location (which it apparently DOES record correctly). Eg: showing the midday sky at 2am 🙁
January 05, 2020

Hiya, for some reason this app will download but won't install.
January 05, 2020

Little too advanced for me tbh
January 04, 2020

For anyone experienced in astronomy this App is terrible! Totally unusable regarding RA and Dec, deep sky... limited limiting magnitude, etc. Commercialisation of the world's best Astro PC software. Ruined! From great on PC to naive and useless on Android. Why!?
February 02, 2020

Works fine except for the live function (GPS) which doesn't work at all
December 29, 2019

I like the app but the most recent update stopped the gyroscope from working correctly. It moves incredibly slow and doesn't go where I point my phone.
December 29, 2019

Brilliant app, wonderful companion to viewing the night sky
December 29, 2019

A really really fascinating and user friendly app. So many cool features and indepth information.
December 26, 2019

Amazing! One of my books recommended this app to me, and it really helped spot a couple of supernovaes, planets and other space related events. I just got my telescope 6 months ago, and im already an amateur. This app had boosted my work by a landslide and would highly recommend this app.
December 25, 2019

Amazing app, captures the feeling of space
December 25, 2019

The app does exactly what I need and is an invaluable tool in pre-planning practice sextant observations.
December 22, 2019

The App is really good overall. But very disappointed to see the night vision setting (all in red) has disappeared. Now, I cannot find any difference between using Stellarium or other good App such as StarWalk2 :-(
December 12, 2019

It's very nice
December 12, 2019

Point at the stars but nothing happens. Move phone around and it stayd on the same screen.
December 11, 2019

I am a big fan of the windows software. This is a great app BUT be careful when pinching the screen (ie finger zoom). It can cause the app to disengage from the sensors and become fixed images. Use the + - buttons that appear for zooming. If it becomes fixed then turn off / then on the app "phone sensor" button and recallibrate compass. ALSO the default time and location can be way off so check it is right and adjust time by touching the stellarium time display. Really smooth compared to others
August 29, 2019

Absolutely incredible. I'm very new to stargazing, not got a telescope or anything (yet) but just been outside on a clear night in the countryside and it's blown me away. I can now confidently identify several features of the night sky and I'm so impressed with this app, ease of use, responsiveness, detail, everything. Thank you!
August 02, 2019

Quite useful in my amature endeavors.
