This is the best thing I've ever downloaded. I don't buy apps but, after using the free version for an evening, I upgraded to the full app the next day. I noticed the 'spinny effect' on start up seem to be the app calibrating itself. I thought it was broken at first, reset my location from manual to automatic and back. It might be an idea to add a 'calibrating..' to future updates.

I liked the lite version, so I paid the 2 bucks for the "full" version. And to my surprise, there was a significant marging of error, in terms of location of planets, from the lite free version to the paid one. The moon really made it clear how off is the lite app. And then the paid version isn't as exact neither. Took it a while to realize it was off, and eventually aligned.

HIGHLY RECOMmENDED APP. Download the unbelievable free version or pay for the premium. Either way, put it on your phone. Even if you don't care for astronomy, astrology or the celestial reality of the earth's position in a frozen, blackened void. It's just awesome. Premium version is that much better. Can't say enough good things about it. The simplicity makes it perfect. Might be the best app for android I've ever seen. Download it now, you won't be disappointed.

What's new

Dear Stargazer,

This update brings enhanced compass accuracy with NOAA's high-resolution World Magnetic Model 2025 for significantly more accurate magnetic declination calculations worldwide. New compass correction feature lets you manually adjust for local magnetic interference in your area. Access via Scene Controls to fine-tune alignment and save custom settings.

Fixed rendering issues on some devices where stars and planets would not appear.

Best,
Terminal Eleven
