Reviews for Stellarium Plus - Star Map

Works better than you would think. Also note if you are using a crop sensor APS-C camera then in the observing tools when you add camera information it accounts for the sensor size so if you are using a mount and full frame lenses you don't need to account for any mathematical corrections yourself

I managed to resolve the issue with the July 2025 update, where the app continuously failed. The samsung app store was causing this issue (not relevant that I never use Samsung apps). When I updated the samsung app store the problem disappeared. I have been a very satisfied user of Stellarium for more than 5 years

Stellarium is an excellent app for photographers, and anyone who is curious about the night sky! What I love about it is that I can go back in time to remind myself of which stars or planets I photographed. Stellarium is incredible, but Stellarium Plus's massive database opens up the universe with more stars and objects.

Very useful for astronomy. As a tip, I use it to align my equipment. I live in the southern hemisphere, I turn on the equatorial grid and I select the nearest star to the southern equatorial pole and then with the augmented reality feature y can enclose the two circles to align my equipment.

I had already paid for Stellarium Plus, and when I installed it to my tablet, installation process charged again for $20. Never happened before! Same account, both Android devices. I think you should refund me.

Recently moved into a small PA town with really terrible street and other dusk-to-dawn lighting. This app provides an excellent and quite accurate indication where in the sky to try and locate guide stars. Also accurately maps planets and deep sky objects. Really useful for the small telescope user. Very nice as a hand-held. Not sure how to choose whether app continues to track sky as I zoom in. Default seems to be lock position when zooming, so user can easily examine. Both models would be good

Setting for thickness of lines of constellations should be there, so that I can reduce the thickness. Right now it is bit much and it downgrades the experience. Please take a look at this issue, Sir 🙏

Very useful app. I'm generally happy with it. If possible, I would like to see a database that included cross references to older deep sky object designations.

omg!!! I'd been using the free version for years but lost the use of it when the Amazon app store shut 😡 so I thought I'd treat myself to the plus version.....it's soooo good discovering new thing that the free version didn't do all the time..... should have done this years ago!

fantastic app, just one minor issue, which has now been resolved. I totally recommend this app to any budding astro photographer's. It makes finding items in the evening sky so simple, which assists in planning your evening photo shoots. clear skies.

All in all, a great app, well worth the cost of its "plus" version. Outstanding research app. It would serve my interests and purposes if transient celestial events, like comets, significant meteor showers, and supernovae, were easily available to add to the images. My current resesrch interests are the skies across time. I have neither the inclination, nor any idea how to customize Stellarium to my current needs. Thank you.

Save yourself some money and just get the free version. Free version is much more configurable and easier to use. Grid lines in this app are overwhelming. Deep sky objects are not highlighted like they are in the free version. Overall, if you want to look at constellations, and that's it, this app will do a mediocre job at best.

Very easy to use. A fantastic app to help you learn the night sky, from star names, to constellations and more. Packed with simple yet very useful perks, such as the ecliptic tracker, and an easy and comprehensive tool to locate planets, stars and when they will be visible in your sky. Over all an amazing and easy to use app, absolutely worth the price tag!

I'm an old school "star-hopper" when wanting to find an object in the sky, using multiple binoculars & my telescope at the same time. This app is amazing with it's ability to be able to zoom in & out, & also provide many low-magnitude stars as your field of view shrinks. I also love being able to choose a star in a constellation & potentially get to learn it's name. It was very handy to have this app during the recent passing of comet Neowise in the sky (July 2020); Stellarium had its location!

Very useful for astrophotography! Simple and so very informative about the night sky. It's the app I've been searching for all this time and I can't stop being on it just to learn everything I can about the cosmos. The only thing I would love to ask for is more photos of the galaxies and nebulae that we do have already photos of, and to be able to click and zoom in on those said photos. Per Aspera ad Astra!

Love how much information the app contains and the various cultures that can be used when viewing the night skies. Not happy with how off the system is however. Everytime I want to use the app it asks me to calibrate and I go through the motions but it doesn't work. The progression count stays at 0% no matter how much figure 8 I move it in. It probably has something to do with the calibration not correct but the app is off by about half a cardinal direction. This could be amazing if not for this

I had used the PC version of Stellarium years ago, and always found it to be overwhelming. I just bought this Android version to find the passing comet, and am amazed at how easy it is to use. The only thing that took me a while to figure out is how to get it to follow my phone again after zooming in - you just aim the phone straight up (this fact was probably shown in some tutorial box that I ignored...)

This is a great app for anyone interested in learning about astronomy. As some others have pointed out, I've had a little trouble with calibration, but it does work eventually. I also had the problem of the phone screen not tracking anymore when changing menu settings until it is pointed straight up, which isn't a big deal just annoying. I know quite a bit about astronomy but not much about constellations. This helped me learn much more about them. Great app and worth buying to support.

Great Information, except the letters are too small to read unless you make the phone brighter, the process of which blasts your night vision. I find the 'upgraded" version (in the past year, I think) much more difficult to use. I can't figure out how to see several constellations in relation to each other. They fade away if you point a slightly different direction.

Wow! I'm in love with this app. So easy. So many features. My first night using this, I could finally locate and identify more constellations than just the Big Dipper. I probably learned 20 new constellations that night. And I've learned the names of some of the more prominent stars. The next morning, it helped me locate 5 planets at the same time. This app is awesome!
