About this app

The night sky has always belonged to everyone. Now Star Chart does too.

Used by over 40 million people worldwide, Star Chart turns your Android device into a window onto the whole visible universe — just point it at the sky and the stars introduce themselves.

✦ Sponsor a Star
Star Chart is free. Every feature, every upgrade, every corner of the cosmos — no paywalls, no subscriptions. If Star Chart brings you joy, you can support it by sponsoring a real star and making it your own. A small act of cosmic ownership that keeps the app alive for everyone.

What you'll find up there:
• Point your device at the sky and Star Chart tells you exactly what you're looking at — in real time, using GPS and a precise 3D model of the universe
• Over 20 million stars accurately mapped across both hemispheres
• All 88 constellations, illustrated with the timeless artwork of 17th-century astronomer Johannes Hevelius
• Every planet in the solar system, their moons and the Sun — all rendered in beautiful 3D
• The complete Messier catalogue of 110 deep sky objects
• Comets, meteor showers, and satellites tracked live
• Guided Tours — let Star Chart take you on a journey through the night sky
• Time Shift: travel up to 10,000 years into the past or future and watch the sky change
• Voice control: just say "Fly me to the Moon" or "Where is Andromeda?"
• Tap anything to learn more — distance, brightness, mythology and more
• View below the horizon, set any location on Earth, zoom deep into star fields

Whether you're a curious child pointing a phone at the dark, or a lifelong amateur with a telescope and a notebook — Star Chart is your companion under the stars.

We've been building Star Chart since 2009 and we're not done yet. Send us your thoughts: starchart@escapistgames.com

For people who are trying to grasp the universe and all it contains (or beyond), this is fantastic! I can't afford to pay for upgrades, so I'm on the basic level. However, there is so much information they give for free, that you'll learn far more than you realise. By tweaking settings, you'll learn to recognise different components of the night sky, easily find how they look as we move around them, & explore the heavens even on cloudy nights. I highly recommend it. And no ads. Brilliant!

Brilliant app, my go to guide to the sky. However, I would like to report a bug with the calendar to change the date in the app. When I try to scroll up (back) the days of the month, it doesn't let me go to the previous month and it gets stuck at the 1st of the month. Also, the previous month to tbe one that you're in has an extra day, such as 32 days in January. It only seems to affect some years, such as 1980 and 81 and January 1965.

For those of you having issues with the app crashing on the latest version of android, try disabling the location permission for the app. If that doesn't work, clear the star chart app data then reopen. When it asks for location permissions, select don't allow. You can then update your location via gps in the setting. This worked for me.
