Starlight - Explore the Stars

No option to show data about stars. No option to disable extremely prominent constellations.

The accurate positioning is captivating . On a dark, clear night one can locate a star or constellation with the app, locate with the help of binoculars or telescopes, and somehow begin to understand thoughts of the ancient astronomers and authors and poets.

Not even close to accurate. I point it W and it says SE

Simple, yet stunning graphics and fast loading makes it a pleasure to use. Dim display helps you keep you natural night vision when watching the stars.

Works great. Would be nise to see a version with known comet locations as well so we can identifiy where they are. Thank you for the app.

It gets the direction all wrong even though I've calibrated my compass and Google maps is showing the correct direction.

This program is awesome the kids all love it and it's educational

Needs to be fixed if it oriented correctly it might be very good, too bad it isn't

To calibrate the compass for android while.in the app hold your phone upright and tilt it from left to right repeatedly, then front to back repeatedly , then while upright rotate from left to right repeatedly. Repeating these steps will increase the accuracy. Also I paid to remove adds and now the compass button isn't visible if I look around manually.

You know, when ever a star gazing app has decent visuals and manages to use gyro appropriately, I'm thrilled. And this does both beautifully! I'm sitting outside late at night, new moon, no light noise, listening to the frogs and Owl's arguing... The app performing perfectly.... Heaven. And then.... HUGE WHITE LIGHT AD SEARCH BAR AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN!!! ??? WTAF? Needless to say I'm writing this review by Braille at this point. Unfortunate.

This app is cool. I love looking up at stars. I live 25ish miles away from LA and the light pollution blocks the stars. I've lived in Socal my whole life and I'm currently 19. This app allows me to look up to the sky to see more than what I used to see before the population in California grew.

I just started getting back into a strong and just bought a 6" Mak. This app has been handy just to get and idea of what's in the sky and where. It's not super accurate, but works well enough for its purpose. Really love using it.

Recently uninstalled and reinstalled, but problem remains: it's telling me East is North! I've liked it heretofore but this orientation issue needs to be fixed!!

Really good but had to clear app cache before it it put the moon and sun in the right place. North, south east and west was correct. Think it thought I was in the wrong hemisphere.

After trying many tonight this is the one that was spot on. All the others were way off. Only issue is it does freeze, but it's easy to fix. Just close it completely and re open. Definitely recommending to friends!!!

The next time i opened it the orientation is wrong. Shows north but really it's west. Opened up a compass app and calibrated that, now the orientation is correct again. Weird.

Gyroscope doesn't work and no way to calibrate. Showed the moon in the western sky near horizon when it was actually in the southern sky and high in the sky. Junk app.

Lovely art, fantastic how the images fade in and out. Love how visible the planets are when they show in the constellation. As a student of astrology, would love to have a capture image button to easily screen shot, perhaps with a time stamp and maybe even an ability to note the picture.

The app couldn't be closed - I had to resort to clicking on the top of screen ad to then get access to controls to swipe it closed :( curiously I never had that issue on my old V4 iPhone ) Other than that - yes it's good .

Brilliant app. Have tried a few apps now including Pay ones. Apart from the adverts the accuracy of this far exceeds any other that I have tried. I Have managed to identify far more constalations with this wonderful little app than any other I have tried. Would strongly recomend it to anyone interested in what they can see in the sky at night.

Awesome app. I haven't got words for an amazing app like this. After upgrade it isn't good but before upgrade it is. I read the comments that it shows things mirror-like. But it doesn't. For this app downloading it or not is your choice.

Wow , feature lacking. Illustrations annoyingly, constantly redrawn. Can't change date. So many free options out there with more features

The orientation was off by over 90 degrees. Not going to find many constellations this way. Just using this I'd have trouble finding the ones I already know.

The app allows you to turn your phone and see different angle of the sky, and even has a compass that shows you what way you are facing. It also points out the constellations so they are super easy to find.

Idk am I lacking intellect or what? The moon is out almost straight up and this app is saying the moon is directly down well below the horizon

Wow! Great visualisation. My children now favorite's app. Next release, please add: 1. Prev and Fwd time simulation 2. Filtering show/hide constellation symbol 3. Search for star/planet 4. Show/hide earth texture (change opacity)

Beautiful view. Only reason not 5 stars is due to the advertising. Distracts from the clean view. Great app to use when you are outside on a clear night.

Doesn't show real time display of sky so it doesn't identify planets or stars. Not what I signed up for. Uninstalled.

Very fast and easy to use. I would suggest to go more professional and get a rid of those illustrations... Maybe go in to some details after zooming otherwise very accurate and seriously fast. Well done.

Absolutely beautiful! A whole new way to look up at the stars without having to invest in a super expensive telescope to locate a given star/planet/constellation. Totally worth downloading!

Problem with it is cause I don't like stars

I was surprised how easy this app is. I showed to my relatives one night and everybody got interested searching the skies. Even the kids loved it.

Simple in design, great graphics. Nice to share with friends for evening studies if night sky. Really happy with it. Paid right away!

I am not an expert at star gazing, but this app gives a clue to what to look at and what they are. And very pretty and enjoyable to explore.

So far so good, just haven't had a lot of time exploring it. We are camping and my son is watching the stars all day to track them for tonight watch. And compare them to last night. Beats the heck out of video games.

I like this app but the problem I have with it is that whenever I tried to download these types of apps at first I thought that it showed you the constillations line up and not actually show them in the sky until this app showed it to me with the land and skies so I'm glad it does cause I was totally confused!?!?!?

It's been too cold to be outside. looking forward to using it this spring

This is the best app I've found so far for star gazing. No lag, real smooth

Saved me, helped a lot especially for someone who knows nothing about what the hell I'm doing.

So much easier than using some kind of star map to learn the constellations. I downloaded four of these and this one worked best.
