Description
Been using SkyView® Explore the Universe for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you point your phone at the sky and it’ll identify all the stars, planets, and constellations you’re looking at. Pretty solid app if you’re into astronomy or just stargazing for fun.
Here’s what you do: you just open the app, hold your phone up, and it uses your camera and GPS to figure out exactly what you’re looking at. And there’s also a night mode that preserves your night vision, which is pretty cool. And you can use it to track satellites passing overhead, like the ISS and Hubble – that’s a neat feature.
Look, if you’re into space and learning about the night sky, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the ads can be a little annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.
Editor Opinion
So here's my honest take on SkyView® Explore the Universe. I've tested a bunch of stargazing apps and this one's one of the better ones. The interface is really intuitive and it's cool how you can just point your phone at the sky and it'll identify everything. And the night mode is super handy too. My only real complaint is that the ads can get a bit much, but you can pay to remove them. Overall though, it's a pretty solid app for anyone who's into space and wants to learn more about the night sky.
