    Stellarium Mobile is a fully-featured planetarium for your phone. It shows a realistic night sky map in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. The sensor control will also ...
    This app has been incredible and I ve been using it for years However the latest version of stellarium doesn t seem to be working well with the current iOS The coordinate box for the currently selected object has a tendency of displaying garbled information The same is true for the date and time inputs The problem seems to be intermittent and simply relaunching the app fixes the bug temporarily Unfortunately it will re occur after a while One additional issue I have with this app is that it will not display the same coordinates as the desktop version for the sun moon The discrepancy is usually only a couple of arc minutes but it is curious that there s any difference at all It may be due to the lack of elevation inputs or the iPad version may be using fewer periodic secular terms to model the sun moon but the two platforms ought to be in agreement for the same date time and location                 Needs an update machutch280
    Just like how you do it on PC             I want to switch to another planet Mikiko6
    Search function is completely useless as when you type all that comes up is random garbage             Busted search function J. "Deuce"
    This is the best star gazing app IMO I would love a feature to set a marker as in the desktop version Bug in IOS11 Setting the Date Time displays odd characters instead of the date in lower corner                     Best App Needs Update for IOS11 DJL314
    One time purchase for a good app                     Great app NickNDS
    I found that my iPad case caused the problem and the directions were accurate believe When I removed the iPad from it s case everything worked as advertised I would recommend this app highly                     Update to Directions are off they weren t Cr8tvty
    The GPS was the major reason I downloaded this garbage I ll definitely skip anything from this developer ripoff     GPS doesn t work stellariumsux
    Just found out that this app was here I love the desktop version of Stellarium and the mobile app is just as great I ve bought several other apps a couple that I ve spent more than 13 on in app purchases they got me but none of them felt right compared to my desktop Stellarium application Finally I have a version that I can carry in my pocket with the same lightweight and highly functional software as it s desktop cousin There s a reason why Stellarium is the most popular software for astronomers people                     Finally ricky tikki
    Hi Thanks for your great app I am using it for 3 or 4 years But i can t use it well on my iPhone 7 plus It s slow and have lags Please Optimize this great app for 7 plus thank you                     Optimization K E S R R E L
    I used the app a couple nights ago and everything seemed as it should be But tonight I was trying to look back at that night on the app and it s not the same as what it showed then In fact it was way off I started setting the date back one day at a time until the moonset was at the right time and the date was 3 days off Second problem is finding a city THERE IS NO WAY TO SEARCH FOR A CITY If you are trying to find a city first you have to scroll through a list of every country in the world So the US takes a while to get to THEN it shows a scroll list of every city it has in that country So scroll scroll scroll looking for Sedona the city list doesn t list a state First time I got half way there and touched just off the list and it went away But it didn t start where I left off Oh no I had to start over again only to find Sedona is not on the list Can someone tell me in what universe does this make sense         OK but a couple MAJOR problems Tpa zzzz
    11 pm used app to find the milkyway But realized that i saw the moon in the wrong spot in the app because the moon was actually behind me not where the app was showing Sooo i dont know if the milky way is in the right spot either No way to contact the stellarium company And yes my gps location was all on updated         Not sure if working mykulangot92
    Good app When finding a location It has country city I wish it had the category state to help down select the city Or able to copy paste coordinates into the find field To help quickly find places you are going to             Good app needs improvement lefty38_wa
    I set this up on my iPad and mounted it to my dobsonian telescope to use as a star chart and it has been pretty amazing so far I don t have it set to motion so I just scroll on the screen to where I m looking and star hop using stellarium to show me where I m at by comparing it to my field of view It s not flawless but it s better than acceptable for finding deep sky objects tracking the planets and even satellites One thing I wish was offered was a telrad reticle overlay That would make this app 100 times easier to use than it already is The ability to see the size relation on screen and compare it through my telrad would enable me to speed up my star hopping faster than using a goto mount I d bet I only gave four stars instead of five because in motion it seems to be off quite a bit although still useful and because I feel that adding a telrad reticle overlay would then make it perfect At least for me                 Wonderful App SWMorrow
    Neat app idea After seeing the desktop version I immediately purchased the app to use with my daughter in our homeschooling astronomy studies I like everything about the app except that it can t seem to find north I ve checked the calibration on my iPhone and it seems accurate or close to But the app is about 90 degrees off Makes stargazing rather confusing I see others have had the same complaint I hope you can come up with a fix or tell us how we can calibrate it Fix that and there will be 2 more stars Thanks             Can t find north TweetTree
    this app is incredible I ve seen this same program on the computer with way amazing graphics Please making zooming in clearer to see                 BETTER GRAPHICS PLEASE Hspencer18
    Adding cloudiness and humidity would be nice                 Great App for Astrophotography jaygotthajuice
    Great features for amateur astronomers Red readout for night vision                     Great Jjjmmw
    The current version always boots up with the time set 1min 9sec ahead of the actual time A fix would be greatly appreciated This app is very handy to have out in the field for locating targets especially if you are familiar with the desktop Stellarium app but this mobile version is quite basic when it comes to viewing options I love that the ecliptic can be displayed but why not throw in some additional simple reference lines like the Meridian Galactic Equator or Planet Orbits It d be nice to have satellite orbits displayed when an object is selected perhaps Also being able to flip the view horizontally vertically would be nice while using a telescope A button or buttons to advance time in various potentially customizable increments would also be very useful Overall I am pleased with this app but it is missing a few key display features which would make it vastly more useful                 Current Time bug in v1 20 Svenry
    I have used Stellarium desktop for years and was excited to find this mobile app It meets all my expectations Works perfectly Any problems in previous releases seem to be fixed Directionality sensors can be turned on and work well Ecliptic line can be turned on Constellation lines have good visibility The only thing I don t like is the way you have to select locations if you are not using the GPS You cannot type in a search window but instead have to scroll through a long list of countries and the a longer list of cities to find your closest location Then it doesn t even remember that location so if you want to find another city in the same country you have to start the entire selection process all over That is a relatively minor complaint but can be annoying when you want to quick check the view from another location But all in all this is a 5 star app Many many thanks to the Stellarium development team                     The best star gazing app WynLaidid
    Doesn t seem to know which way north is Every other application works fine but this puts north facing the wrong way         Directionally challenged Arkitan
    I m a high school astronomy teacher and use the desktop app regularly because of the level of detail it provides over other apps I REALLY need to see the following features to make this useful for my students absolute magnitude for stars modern constellation boundaries and the ecliptic line Also the buttons are redundant since pinching does the exact same thing Use these buttons to do something more useful like advancing by a particular time increment of your choosing Also when in tracking mode where the sky moves with the phone make it so when you search for an object arrows guide you to where that object is in the sky so you can move your phone accordingly Common feature in many other apps and would make Stellarium on iOS stand out from its desktop counterpart by taking full advantage of the mobile platform Please add these and I would pay to have this app loaded on every iPad in our department That s for you             Please Absolute magnitude and constellation boundaries The Eclectic
    Rendering issue iOS 9 repaired like a boss                     Thanks Acela944
    Lots of things to love on this app However the lines for the constellations are almost impossible to see in the dark making it almost impossible to find what I am looking for Most frustrating is that the names of the stars and deep space objects are not in English and I can find no way to change it         English GalaxiesnNebulae
    best app ever                     I love it 10001110101TJKing
    It seems to be defaulting to Chinese with no option to return to western or English Date and time does not use English numerals     Stellarium v1 17 quit working on iPad whittlejoe
    not run         update plz 가카지지자
    You won t find a better astronomy app out there paid or free I rely on this app frequently and love it                     The best Dcmair
    Better than many more expensive options As good as desktop version Keep doing good job                     Great Asoloasoloasolo
    Updating a previous review Feature rich and well done Explore all the options to discover more capabilities Well done I wonder if it s possible to superimpose the sky over an actual image of the terrain from the camera                 Excellent Arash4
    As an astronomer with experience of other apps for viewing the sky please change the time steps to minutes hours days months so that real phenomena like retrograde motion can be viewed 10 100 1000 times real speed is of no use             Please change time steps Nuhnuhnuhnuh meh
    I am a big fan of the desktop Stellarium application and I bought this app with high expectations This app is very rudimentary compared to other astronomy apps on the App Store It shows only the brightest DSOs and stars and there is no way customize what you see When picking a location it goes straight from country level to city level so you have to scroll through hundreds of cities to find the one you are looking for Overall significant room for improvement             Lacks features poor interface Bart377
    I ve been using your program on my computer for many years and I m very pleased to have found it available on iPad Fantastic job Thank you so much                     Love it Popi2013
    AYFKM This is great I see a few unhappy reviews but I never used previous versions so it looks like things have been fixed Thank you Noctua                     Heavenly scottdaris
    Great job guys First version of this app was rough but it has been completely overhauled and is now SOLID Other apps have more features but none are as solid and simple to use as Stellarium The scrolling and zooming are like butter The standard projection Stellarium uses is my preferred I can finally use the best desktop planetarium software on my phone Thank you guys so much                     You did it wetjosh
    v1 17 is garbage It forget my location It crashes frequently After using GPS to set my location the manual location option doesn t start with GPS location There needs to be a search function for country state and city Better yet start with postal code entry Stellarium was one of my favorite apps I want the old version back iPhone 5s iOS 8 1 2     Skip this update The Blues 58
    This is a great update User friendly and more features Thanks                     Great Update Mahmoud.66
    I like the Desktop version I bought this app specifically for the sensor control and it doesn t work on my iPhone 5s Im really disappointed and frankly would rather get my 2 bucks back             Mr Dave_M_123
    I have the desktop Stellarium and love it Not allowing for a Landscape mode is puzzling Portrait mode is good for some apps but not this one I look forward to this feature in some future update             Disappointed Rigel Colony
    Very goodStellarium3 is absolutely great I used it with advanced elementary students via programmed computers Controlling the speed of revolving bodies helped produce a very enjoyable learning experienceand unlimited lessons I cant imagine teaching astronomy without this setup                 Very good
    Lots of things to love on this app However the lines for the constellations are almost impossible to see in the dark making it almost impossible to find what I am looking for Most frustrating is that the names of the stars and deep space objects are not in English and I can find no way to change it        English
    Better than many more expensive options As good as desktop version Keep doing good job                 Great
    Very well made app with a realistic feel and touch The only reason for four stars is because it would be even more amazing if there were little descriptions of some things Amazing app              Exceptionally beautiful
    Definitely a good start to a great desktop application Stable on my mobile iOS device Looking forward to future updates that include a larger database of objects the option to use the azimuthal mount to navigate by and the ability to utilize plugins found on the desktop version              Making progress
    Crashes every time I go to set location or landscapes Desktop version works perfectly but phone app a bust Great graphics     Disappointing so far
    You wont find a better astronomy app out there paid or free I rely on this app frequently and love it                 The best
    I just downloaded this to an iPad air given the amount of processing power the air has it would be nice to have something similar to the desktop version I have only used it for a few minutes but already hit a few annoyances It does not seem to have a setting to turn on the horizon line or several other grids and markings available in desktop version The most annoying thing so far seems to be that it is locked in portrait mode It can be set to use the built in orientation hardware but even with this turned on the interface still seems to be in portrait mode only For use on an iPad landscape mode would be much more natural I have not found any setting to change this yet I dont see any sliders to control the number of star names yet I may be missing something though I dont know how much development work is going into this mobile version The desktop project open source does not currently support the mobile version I like the desktop version but I would like to have the abilities offered by the Mobil version pointing the device and having the display match the sky This version 1012 seems to need a bit more work           Not as full featured as desktop version yet
    It seems to be defaulting to Chinese with no option to return to western or English Date and time does not use English numerals     Stellarium v117 quit working on iPad

    Avoid this waste of money Search doesnt work Not intuitive     Horrible is right
    Awesome graphics and features But the main feature that had me sold was the device sensor control tracking Unfortunately it doesnt work on my device Old first gen iPad I dont know if its device related or iOS 51           Interesting But disappointed
    This app is not only laid out great but its also accurate Its amazing Forget the bad reviewers who didnt give it a chance seriously                 Why the bad reviews
    This app is an excellent port of the computer software It runs very well on the iPhone 5 not sure about other iPhones One complaint I have is that the search mode is still white and bright when night mode is on which kind of defeats the purpose of night mode                 Best astronomy app by far
    I am not an astronomer or physicist and I liked the original app much better I could point to an object and the original app would locate it with its name and all of the surrounding star names I would like to know if that version is still available and if I can reload it to my IPad        Stellarium app
    Nice rendition of a very fine piece of open source software One item noticeably missing the ecliptic important for understanding the motion of the planets Moon and Sun Also would be handy to have the landscape mode available to manual operation nor just the sensors mode              A Planetarium Director
    This app is loaded with useful features Works extremely well and has awesome graphics You can even track the Milky Way to help you take pictures of it You can fast forwardrewind in time so you can predict the position of objects Also it has an amazing zoom into planets stars and also wideangle fisheye views Simulated landscapes make it even more beautiful Highly recommended                 Best app for night sky enthusiasts
    I only rated 4 stars because everything is in the wrong position              Great app but

    Updating a previous review Feature rich and well done Explore all the options to discover more capabilities Well done I wonder if its possible to superimpose the sky over an actual image of the terrain from the camera              Excellent
    best app ever                 I love it
    I love it I have used the desktop version lots and this mobile version is just like it Stellarium is the only astronomy app I know that labels the navigational stars which is great if youre learning celestial navigation You have to explore the icons a little bit to become familiar but then its quite easy to use I love the night mode in red which the desktop version lacks I agree with the astronomer who reviewed this version needs the ecliptic Also showing the celestial equator would be helpful As well in the desktop version the atmosphere condenses at the horizon This means that even without a ground you can see where the horizon is located But those are just tweaks to improve an already good app Thanks for making this mobile Stellarium              Just like the desktop version
    I like the Desktop version I bought this app specifically for the sensor control and it doesnt work on my iPhone 5s Im really disappointed and frankly would rather get my 2 bucks back           Mr
    Dont waste your time     Poor quality
    AYFKM This is great I see a few unhappy reviews but I never used previous versions so it looks like things have been fixed Thank you Noctua                 Heavenly
    Great job guys First version of this app was rough but it has been completely overhauled and is now SOLID Other apps have more features but none are as solid and simple to use as Stellarium The scrolling and zooming are like butter The standard projection Stellarium uses is my preferred I can finally use the best desktop planetarium software on my phone Thank you guys so much                 You did it
    Great app but please add ISON to mobile version Hurry before it too late              Great
    Ive been using the desktop version for a few years and was ecstatic to see that an iOS version had been released Sensor tracking is an awesome feature and has been a very useful tool for stargazing Great job                 Great job
    As an astronomer with experience of other apps for viewing the sky please change the time steps to minutes hours days months so that real phenomena like retrograde motion can be viewed 10 100 1000 times real speed is of no use           Please change time steps
    v117 is garbage It forget my location It crashes frequently After using GPS to set my location the manual location option doesnt start with GPS location There needs to be a search function for country state and city Better yet start with postal code entry Stellarium was one of my favorite apps I want the old version back iPhone 5s iOS 812     Skip this update
