Star gazer for Cardboard
• Identify stars, constellations and asterisms, just by looking at them
• Explore the solar system interactively in 3D
• Positions for the current date/time for your location, or for a future date
• 4000 comets
No ads or unnecessary permissions. No internet connection required. Gyroscope not required.
This application does require a functioning device compass, so the magnet in a Cardboard headset may need to be removed.

Works even only with accelerometer and no gyro
Loved that the sphere is scalable,its smooth,realistic visualization and learning tool.only other thing ,to make messier objects prominent like the planets,and some kind of menu system to toggle totally natural view with no suggestions or exaggeration,to exaggerated views of planets and/or messiers/comets.descriptions are already there.
the compass screws up sometimes, but other than that it's all good.
Absolutely amazing! Give me more! Galaxy tours, nebulas, binary systems,you guys know what I mean.
Looks interesting but won't work with Google Daydream... Lol, great response by dev though. If it's as simple as setting a "Daydream compatible" flag I'd be happy to test. I'd not, no worries.
Great. Perhaps classical outlines one day but great as is.
All I can say is wow. In the best way.
Excellent! Works without gyro! Super fine control. I can easily identify individual stars and constellations just by pointing my head at them, even in daytime! Thanks! Great job. You should teach others how to control without gyro. Bravo!
Seriously you are awesome! Other developers need to learn from you. It's amazing how your app works with just accelerometer and magnet sensor.
Doesn't adapt to the device display size and density, leading to bad results with some devices (e.g., Nexus 7).
It should be taken as a lesson by other developers that one can make a smooth vr experience without gyro
I really liked the concept but it doesn't work very well. It worked for about 2 mins then everything started going haywire and planets and stars started spinning really quickly and in a very random patern.
very enjoyable, thanks
