2) Solar System: Sun and all planets(8), major satellites. Observer can be located on any solar system body.
3) GPS/network location, accelerometer/magnetometer/gyroscope support, gestures: drag/pinch/rotate
4) change time and star brightness
5) Free: no money, no in-app-billing, no ads, no spyware, no unneeded permissions. No hidden cost for upcoming extensions. Free source code. This is amateur software, I get no financial benefit from doing this.

Please read Options/Help in the menu for detailed description and feature explanation.

What is NOT yet implemented:
- expansion file loading from within the app: the expansion files must be downloaded while downloading the app. This way no fishy permissions are required.
- Object selection and centering
- Object information
- Object searching
- Nebula
- Comets, asteroids, artificial satellites

If you want to help improving glunatic in some way, please contact me via email. I would especially welcome:

Virtual stars, extremely responsive, with multiple projections or views. Allows to view from the perspective of other solar system bodies including other moons of planets. Most accurate and realistic lighting rendering I've seen, with texture shaded planets. Shadows on planets are missing tho **Edit**: there are shadows. Just my brightness​ was too high. It is essential to read OPTIONS: HELP I hardly ever download an app more than a few MB. This is worth the download 95/

I installed the app for an hour.it was hard to work with.the menu was not easy to touch and the app took too long to load.it doesn't show the polaris automatically .I was not able to search. The app was too heavy but less information maybe because of my comparison to Google map or sky map.thanks
