In addition to providing detailed information about celestial objects, Sky Xplore will let you dive into the 3-D starfield to get a better perspective how stars are located in constellations.
Experience the solar system by entering orbits of the planets and major moons.
Designed for everyone, Sky Xplore is easy to use but also provides advanced features for the more experienced sky observer, including highly accurate models of the major moons of Jupiter and Saturn.
The Time Player feature allows you to jump to the past or future and travel through time at different rates for you to observe the orbits of planets and moons.
Use the celestial and horizon sky grids and the coordinate display to see what is above the horizon and to get your bearing in real time.
Search and discover detailed information about stars and planets. Search objects by name or quickly identify sky objects by tapping the screen.
Switch to the manual sky view mode and use finger gestures to scroll and zoom the sky for a detailed study of the sky.

Very good. But information of current events like Comet Neowise C/2020 F3 should be advised.
Great for telling me what to look for with my telescope,
I love this app but I don't know why my this app this saying callibrate younr phone but is accurate 👌👌
Equally good for all ages
Hopeless at finding locations😠
oh my god... this app is lit 🔥♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
If you do a search for "dipper" or "big dipper" it wont find it. But if you search for a star named "HR8636", it will find it. All scientific names, no "fun" names, or names we've been taught growing up. Kinda takes the fun out of it.
I adore this app
No,thanks. Weird screen overlay request. Who knows what other apps that will screw up.
Colors are off, not easy to switch modes, need real sky view
No night vision (red screen)to see in dark..and also better planetarium
Thanks...Awesome app!!
Regarding drop-down entry fields, this app seems to perpetuate the usual limitations found in similar astronomy apps. Granted, I just resently downloaded the app, so readers be fair; treat this review as tentative (until concerns are replied to or addressed). Designers, please reconsider the current design that follows so many other apps regardng user interface. Specifically, do not ONLY offer calendar scrolling, time scrolling, etc. With each such field, also provide the ability to enter the associated text. Without such, customer patience is stretched. For example, with the current design, assume I want to enter a date 20-years-ago. Because you do not allow text entry, I am forced to scroll back month-by- month. Do you really think your customers have the time and patience to tolerate this? Imagine how pointless your app may become for those who wish to view the sky 200, or 2,000 years in the past or future. Allow for text entry in your drop-down fields and I will update my review. Until then -- for now, I see no point in using your app except for current or very-near date scenarios. For such limited options, I do indeed find your app engaging and informative.
Having a wonderful experience! Excellent app
Really a good application, I pleased to have it
It s an amazing app , must try !!👍👍👍👌👌👌
For the basic things
Love it
For everyone who is interested in space.
App does what it says but my 5 stars go to that icon design. It's marvelously simple but catches my eye quite frequently whilst perusing the play store for new apps.
Hai fr Joe I have to be able at your email address or the new year of this is the way you have a bit.
I did...perhaps i will change rating to love after i figure it out :)
Tell what you thnk%Conveversations
Won't work on my Motorola M4
Very amazing Thank you very much
it is a good helping app for observations but needs improvement
It's just awesome
I give it 5 stars but Ill do 3 and a half because I cant get close to the planets cannot see the sun when visiting it and taking me back after I visit the stars
