This is an Excellent program helped me pick up major understanding in hours through AR rather than hundreds of hours through books

Your own “pocket stellarium”

This app really is elegant and easy to use. The only thing that keeps it from 5 out of 5 is the slippery clunkyness of the time and location interface. Fix that and PERHAPS icing on the cake add a geo specific horizon (solar parallax and proper motion drift? I don’t know) - THeN you have something to build another Stonehenge with! <br/><br/>All the same - you want to be able to “see” the path of the sun under the earth at night? The realm of Osiris made “real”? There’s this app for that. Totally enjoyable and useful ecliptic positions.

The best!

Want to know what star or planet that is, this app will tell you!

Best app for night sky

I’ve had this app for it seems like 20 years. I love it and I use it all the time and I’ve shared it with so many friends and family over the years. Go sky watch!

Best App EVER
     
by skysky3 · February 16, 2025

I have had this app for years and nothing works better for finding out which star I’m looking at whether it’s a planet, star, or an airplane. There are also many other great features, the sun tracking I use to plan my garden. There’s also a setting labeled “Pluto is a planet” 1000/10

GoSkyWatch (I apparently rated this sometime ago)

Fantastic!!! Best program of its kind that I have found. The more I use it the more I discover things that it is capable of doing. (Like tracing out the sun Analemma as a function of time.) I input my own location with a high degree of accuracy and find extremely good accuracy in everything else that it calculates. I find the accuracy of the program to be Impressive. The display is very realistic as to the relative brightness of the stars and constellations, just the way you see them. I feel you are to be congratulated for creating such a versatile program. Being able to choose between ordinary time, the mean solar day or sidereal days is very useful. In fact, that is what allows you to see the Analemma traced out over the course of a year with a time function of your choosing with a simple flick of your finger.

Its the best
