Star Rover - Night Sky Map for Android
OMG the best app on my phone! So cool to be able to see whats right in front of you! Love finding out a bright star is actually a planet! I ???? it!
Annoying adverts in the way and you can't get rid of them as the close button is carefully positioned so you can't press it
The way I figure it if I'm outside looking at the stars I like to have my eyes adjusted to the night. But when using this app the ads are so bright that I lose my night eyes. So....phooie
It is a pretty beast app. But I think they could add a few more features to it.
Very tidy and useful app shows you the stars and the constellations for easier identification from the ground.
Pls add a future/past options, like if i want to know that tomorrow/yesterday what time sun rise or set, i can change but settings of time and date in application, so it dosent follow the time which is set in instrument
Enjoying the app find it very interesting. Just the adds are irritating
Better that hyped Star walk 2. It's free, light on data consumption, does exactly what is required from a sky map.
Works well, simple to use and good for new star gazers. I like the information you can read when a star or planet is touched. I am glad I found this app.
Automatic locator was removed from the app? I can not locate myself anymore. Sad....
The character embodiment of the constellations is great for learning the star positions and the built in compass is much more accurate in the sky then other apps that I have used
It's a great app but the thing is it doesn't have a gyroscope that let you moved around with the sky in the state of mind you need to put in a gyroscope
Had this app, uninstalled it 4 what seemed better. Boy I was wrong! So I'm bak..... this apps the koolest.
Very poor app. Stuck for hours in "Preparing for first time setup". It sucks. I uninstalled this garbage.
This app has a date indicator which is able to go forward or reverse in time which I find very useful, unlike some of the others. Great app to have when searching the stars.
I really like this app. The informational pop-ups are great.The names of the constellations are hard to read, though.
Just incredible. A real connection between today's technology, our ever present universe and the ideaology of our past.
Really awesome app than many others around. It shows the constellations drawing to guide you to find them and all the stars, planets and messier objects in the sky! Good job..
I can't look at a lot of stars in the sky due to light pollution. This app is quite handy for me especially. Easy to handle and shows constellations. Also shows the sky at the current time. Would be better if we could view the sky in the past.
Point and view. On the lower left corner is a box. Tap on that to view or not view. It should move in direction u are pointing your phone. As soon as u touch your screen it will stop moving. Tap arrow in box , it will move again. Now I know what that bright star is by name and where. Pretty cool! It takes a little practice. I first go to settings. Turn everything off except maybe horizon. Look and see if you find your stars that you wonder what it is. Then one by one turn on label, lines, art work. All these yrs I've been looking at Orion's belt. The 3 bright stars in a row. A favorite patch of stars. Cool app.
For starters, i feel we should ne able to adjust the magnitude of visible stars. For example, light pollution can make it impossible to see the milky way, so adjusting it so that its accurate could help a lot. Second, adding a "night mode" which turns everything red would be useful for amateur astronomers, as to not destroy night vision.
When I pointed it at the sky, it didn't change. What showed on the screen is what the look like, but I was expecting due to the description was pointing the phone at the sky, it would show you exactly what was in front of you. Very deceiving.

I do a lot of astronomical studies as well as teaching and observing with area Boy Scouts and this was great back up and easy for them to use on their own phones. Great product!

I like its ease of use. Locating a star is too easy with this software for beginners. Just one more option should be added, that the magnitude of stars can be adjusted according to the need.
Am loving this app all the way, it works great even when it does not show the stars bellow the horizon, am happy.
rly cool!! thanks. btw wish could see things that arent just in the current time.
I live where it's really hard to see the stars so when I used this I got a better picture of all of it
Simple interface but easy to use and does the job identifying whats up there although txt can be a bit distorted
It is amazing I can find everything, stars, planets, galaxies and very good explain about every each one
Gives a whole new different perspective, being a photographer help me with my layout. very good app.
Pointing to the sky screen does not change thus must have some reference point to find other stars.
Just what I was looking for, and app that reads the sky in real time and accurately! Thank you!
Mostly stopped
I just downloaded this app, it looks like it needs search bar to find objects and should allow the user to change from portrait view to landscape view.
If you love watching the sky and the beautiful stars, you will enjoy this.
I LOVE THIS GAME IT IS SO AMAZING I LOVE IT XOXO LOVEIT AND THAT IS WHY I AM WRITING THIS . THIS GAME IS SO MUCH FUN THANK YOU WHO EVER MADE THIS.
This is such a great way to view the skies with more knowledge than I have within my own mind. I love having this information at my fingertips!
