Team review

" Advanced Planetarium ! "

The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 9 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible from version 2.2 of Android. Any supperior OS version will support it.

Its weight is very light, less than a megabyte is sufficient to store and operate.

Its number of downloads in the Android Market (Google Play) makes it an extremely popular application and rightly so. More than a million users are using it on mobile or on touch pad.

Positive review The best by anonym
Tried pretty much every free star gazer app and although none works flawlessly, this one was definitely best, at least for my phone. 4/5
Positive review Does what it says by anonym
Much more accurate than the Google app! 4/5
Positive review The best! by anonym
This is the best sky viewing app, period. 5/5
Positive review Great app for astronomy by anonym
It will be great if you could add a drop down for choosing the date/month/year in the time machine 4/5

Positive review Trouble free by anonym
One of the best sky exploring apps very useful 5/5
Positive review by anonym
I can't say enough good things about this app. LOVE IT!!! Better than Google SkyMap in my opinion. 5/5
Positive review Above the rest by anonym
This is, BY FAR, the best star map app on Google play. 5/5
Positive review Brilliant! by anonym
Accurate, easy to use and, more then anything... useful! A technical master piece! 5/5
Positive review Great fun! by anonym
My excuse for knowing little astronomy is that in a city, it stops at the moon. That makes this app invaluable. Also it requires no permissions, and the dev corrected me in my earlier comment: it doesn't even need internet access. Take that, NSA. Also access might be a problem when in the field. 5/5
Negative review by anonym
Doesn't accurately read sensor data from my tablet, even after calibrating the compass. Also, doesn't automatically acquire my gps location. 2/5
Positive review Because ? by anonym
I havent even tried it yet but it has no retarded device access's requests. 5/5
Positive review Awesome App! by anonym
There are billions of apps just like billions of stars. This app is by far the most useful I've ever installed. Works great when aligning my GOTO scope. Many times it will ask to point to different stars during the alignment phase and i have no clue where it is. I then simply pull out my phone, type in the name of the star it's asking for, hold it to the sky and sure enough there it is, bright as day! Makes alignment so much faster, simpler and accurate. Thank you, donation on the way!!! 5/5
Positive review by anonym
Nice app! Does exactly what you expect it to do. Controls are simple. Have noticed recently that the location is not completely accurate; just kind of shifted. Appears as though it is shifted to the East. 5/5
Negative review Does not work with Mi3 by anonym
I used to like this app a lot, but this no more work with newly purchased Xiomi Mi3, unable to detect orientation. 1/5
Positive review by anonym
Long time since I used this app and it's really come on. Won't leave it gathering dust any more! Five big stars! 5/5
Negative review Is this app a joke? by anonym
Never saw the big dipper in the eastern sky before! Doesn't work with my phone. Only place it seems to come close is in the car sometimes. 1/5
Positive review by anonym
Got this app when a friend was looking into getting a scope. I had Google app, but was blown away by Skeye. So much more accurate. All this got me out to buy my own scope. Will be upgrading to the pro version soon. 5/5
Positive review Awesome! by anonym
Very good app. Only thing I would add would be links to information for each object. The app would probably cost $5000 then, but it would be neat! 5/5
Positive review Love it by anonym
if i could suggest one thing [which it actually has now & is active by default] it would be in regard to the sensors' input: a dampener, or low-pass filter, to smooth-out or slow down changes in orientation. 5/5
