My husband & I love astronomy and watching the night sky. This app does a great job of providing real-time access and information. The virtual rocket fly by feature is my favorite! I would like to see more information included for all of the celestial bodies that are included in your database, some simply provide a redirect you to Wikipedia.

Boooo, this is so much less than the original Redshift Astronomy app. For starters, the timeframe has been reduced from 800 years(400 back and 400 forward) to a mere 200 years. Weak. This used to be my favorite "go to" astronomy app, I paid $15.99 way back at the start of Redshift, now that app is "not working properly" and they say they are working on a fix. I doubt it, the fix is this new featureless version. Even if they offered me pro premium for free, I wouldn't stay. Don't download. Edited

So I actually like this app, however It keeps shutting off after 3 seconds. I've tried reinstalling, but the same thing keeps happening. Help. In south alabama looking at the planets at night. There is a red one but looks to big for mars and I think it's the wrong time of the year for that one. So jupiter. Give me a fix.

A very good app. Not as visually busy or overly coloured as other Astronomical apps. It has a good selection of options for visual customisation. The best being the ability to select the visual distances that can be seen, and so reduce the visual clutter of celestial objects. The downside is it has annoying music, and target notification sounds. But that can be switched off. Overall, I highly commend it to anyone who wants to know what's in the night sky, or Star Sign.

Snappy and charming astronomy app. Works well with simplified yet effective interface all around. However the landscape overlay image filled with totally absurd artificial buildings or unrelated stuff isn't very proper. Pls let me remove it. I just want the universe and nothing about any cumbersome additives. If you need to add something as the background then pls let us apply the camera view to it (AR). Edited
