This is still a fantastic update which exceeds expectations. The subscription model was more than worth the money given the developer has got to make a living and, let’s face it at just over £4 a year is an absolute bargain. Now, due to complaints from whiners wanting something on the cheap the subscription model […]

Simply the most useful app today, nothing else can compare to the amount of AMAZING information packed into something free to download or even paid apps too, so, in saying this, suggest a monthly or yearly subscription , if you are an amatuer or a pro and this app isnt on your device, your missing […]
The Application is really awesome. My only problem currently is that this App has not been updated since November 2023 and has lot’s of bugs and freezing issues with new Smartphones. Btw, Database and Accuracy is at par with any other astronomy app (paid) out there that’s for sure. And the widgets? Guys, I bet […]
Great app for astronomy enthusiasts! There is fairly comprehensive information about the night sky that will help anyone from the casual star gazer to the avid astronomer and astro photographer. My only complaint is the night vision mode. It seems to be too red and therefore too dark, at least for my eyes. Adjusting the […]
Many functions (I haven’t explored all of them). Clear display with smooth movement/animation. Helpful tips. Only thing that comes close to a fault is that it has to load data every time it boots, but it doesn’t take more than about 7 seconds over WiFi. And there are settings that allow you to download many […]
Unironically phenomenal. I love SkySafari, but can’t lie, MO scratches a different itch, and I’m finding myself leaning more and more towards it. Also, a suggestion – I would love to see the time controls have an adjustable “fast forward” (á la SkySafari) to let things play out at a hands-free rate, like a timelapse! […]
This app appeared, at first, to be informative, easy to use, and educational. That was until I started to look more closely at a certain comet (C/2014 UN271). Initially, the app showed the comets path would take it to within .02au of earth in Feb2031 which contradicted the astronomers who said, “it would be a […]
An amazing app that keeps me updated about the sky! The day is incomplete without its tonight’s best! Great work!! Suggest this particularly to young students who can easily pick up astronomy as a healthy hobby. Lot of time can be spent usefully. The mapping of the sky in terms of constellations, the calibration of […]
Cool app. This app has almost everything. Maybe one recommendation: please add Field of view to the objects, depending on sensor and focal length (something similar to Telescopius). It will help very much for observing and astrophotography and it doesn’t need to show real pictures. It can be a small circle showing only the size […]
Not sure what else is out there, been a fan of SkEye for some time but after trying MO free I’ve moved to the paid version It has added more enjoyment to a passing interest in astronomy with greater access to a variety of information and features. Downloadable catalogues etc. Edit. >>>Unfortunately no way to […]
Great app for amateur and semi professional enthusiasts alike. So far it has shown more than I expected, but it has been a bit fiddly to get to grips with so far. I hope and expect that there is a lot more to come now I have the full paid version. Great job devs, I […]
Great app, best I have found to display such information with ease. Only reason not a 5 star, need to load Comet data each time. Not a huge issue but annoying if forget to do it before heading out. Also the live mode seems a little all over the place. My North shows South in […]
The last stargazing app you will ever need. It has more options than a homegrown astronomer would ever need. I highly recommend getting the paid version, it is well worth it. The app regularly updates the local astronomical event updates like comets or asteroids. There is a small learning curve to grasp all the options […]
I really like this app, but am docking a star, because keyboard & mouse controls seem inadequate. Most people don’t use keyboard & mouse with mobile, so I understand why that’s the case. I suspect keyboard & mouse use is rising, though. A lot of Android phones play nicely with the TV, if you have […]
Wow! This is AWESOME! I’ve used Mobile Observatory II for four years. it has been very useful in amateur astronomy. Now with this version I will be able to do so much more! From AR of the sky to locations of celestial objects, this is one handy app to have. To fully understand everything you […]
I had it rated 5 stars but dropped it to 3 because it will not show objects, like the moon and Jupiter, where they are supposed to be. They will also not stay still. It’s like the Earth is rotating far faster than it is. I was looking at Jupiter and had to keep rotating […]
Best observatory app ever. Like having an encyclopedia for the cosmos in your pocket. Wish it was a little less touchy with the locking and unlocking every time, but I probably just don’t fully understand how to use it or I need to just get used to it. Not a problem really. I am having […]
Unusable. In order to show the sky “realistically” many of the brightest object will flair / glare / etc the view out, making it unusable. You can control the glare / flair of the sun and the moon but not the stars. I have checked every single “settings” menu / setting. no go. I want […]
Incredible features & a large amount of data. I took an astronomy class in school and this app has info I never learned about. The sheer volume of information may be a little overwhelming at first, but it’s organized into categories & there are lots of help boxes with explanations of terms (like ‘mv’) so […]
Very good, complete and capable astronomy app. My only two minor niggles are the on-screen controls are at times a bit small for a phone screen and there’s no way to turn off diurnal motion, which means the chart drifts when zoomed in. But that’s about it. However there’s been no update (as far as […]
