Star Odyssey
It includes:
* Over 70 of the brightest stars in the night sky
* Pronunciation guides (it's not obvious how to pronounce many star names)
* Origin of the name (the meaning of a star's name is often insightful)
* Brightness and distance from Earth
* Interesting astronomical facts
* Includes all stars displayed in Google Sky Map
* Integration with the SkEye planetarium app for locating stars (Unfortunately Google Sky Map does not support this feature)
* Algol Eclipse schedule (find out when to watch the Demon Star fade and re-brighten)

Add more stars details. Only list of few stars.
Complements the SkEye app very nicely! Only wish it had better star catalogue numbering information and linked to Wikipedia.
This is not a map/star chart. But it is fantastically fluid for finding data on stars.
Good but needs a way way bigger catalog. But it is free and educational so ya gotta give credit for the effort.
Very useful for learning about specific stars, but rarely helpful in practice. Amateur astronomers don't spend much time looking at individual stars (although Algol & Albireo are exceptions). OTOH, non-Amateur Astronomers don't generally need the information in this app. This would be great if more object types were included. An example that quickly come to mind are planets (especially including low-number minor planets like 1-Ceres). Another example type is the various moons in the solar system.
Easy to use, uncluttered and so informative and up to date.
Gives good info... If lacking a bit. But overall a decent app... and free...
awsome ! helps me so much ! love it ! thanks
In the night the stormy night she closed her eyes
It's a nice app it gives you the definition of the star. how about the size of the star?... please add at the description😊😄😉
I'm all about the stars but I'm supposed to get a gift from my other game for downloading this how do I get my gift
@Tracy Gibson, that comment made my day!
I think that is time for compatibility update for newer android version......
Can't copy txt.... Or share....
simple and useful app.
Just keep adding more objects.
its been helpful in my research too
Even though it occasionally slows down I LOVE IT!
Very cool and unique app ...if u r interested in astronomy then you should download it
Kind of strange knowing that each of these stars will be a black hole one day.
Awesome app. I love how it pairs with skEye app but it NEEDS MORE STARS! Please keep adding to the database or offer an expanded database as an add-on. Thanks for the work you've done.
Keep adding more stars to the data base. Many of the stars listed on my droid sky view are not in the data base.. and I often have to look online for further information. But so far its helped me many times. Just keep up the hard work. -Canon is 12x36 Binos -Droid Sky View -Star Odyssey = Nights of Knowledge :)
Also please arrange stars as per constellation
Can't use it idk y
My last low rating of the program was due to my ignorance. Thank You Randy for such a personal concern emailing me and educating me. I installed the program again and I'm giving it the highest rating
Love the app. Just one issue: more stars! Its nice to have information and approximate pronunciations, just wish there were more stars listed.
Brilliant app. Can we have an update for the latest android please android 12
