Highlights

This app helped me learn the basics

Thank you so much for bringing this amazing app

This app provides an excellent map of the sky

It's indeed a great app

Cool you guys are the boss for updates

This app helps you to navigate through the night sky very easily

I have found my new favorite toy

My 6 yr old autistic son loves this app

I love seeing planets and constellations in the sky in real time

I had this on previous android and loved it

Poor control and basically does not do what it says it can

Now the automatic mode does not work at all

Only manual which means I may be pointing at wrong star

No luck with the troubleshooting guide

On automatic mode screen stays completely stuck

The auto sensor mode does not work on the Samsung J3

I can't even get it to run on the j7

Screen locks once loaded

For now I'm uninstalling it and I'm going to try a different app

I used to love this app but it doesn't work anymore

Description

Sky Map is a hand-held planetarium for your Android device. Use it to identify stars, planets, nebulae and more. Originally developed as Google Sky Map, it has now been donated and open sourced. Troubleshooting/FAQ The Map doesn't move/points in the wrong place Make sure you haven't switched into manual mode. Does your phone have a compass? If not, Sky Map cannot tell your orientation. Look it up here: http://www.gsmarena.com/ Try calibrating your compass by moving it in a figure of 8 motion or as described here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1EPbAapaeI. Are there any magnets or metal nearby that might interfere with the compass? Try switching off "magnetic correction"(in settings) and see if that is more accurate. Why is autolocation not supported for my phone? In Android 6 the way permissions work has changed. You need to enable the location permission setting for Sky Map as described here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/6270602?p=app_permissons_m The Map is jittery Try adjusting the sensor speed and damping (in settings). We have a better solution coming soon! Do I need an internet connection? No, but some functions (like entering your location manually) won't work without one. You'll have to use the GPS or enter a latitude and longitude instead. Can I help test the latest features? Sure!
