This was one of the OGs and was one of if not the best on android and ios. I bought all the in app purchases for the different celestial bodies and it was worth every cent. Now it looks like it has t been updated in years and I haven't even been able to launch it on either my galaxy flip 3 or my s23 ultra. If the (I think it was free?) base app works for you then awesome, but I wouldn't spend any money on it until they update it to properly support current devices.

I can't believe this is back after being absent from Playstore so long...this is the best app of its kind, no doubt. Upgrades are expensive but well worth it. Has a ton of celestial objects other apps miss out & even important sites & landmarks listed on them! There are other really good apps like this but for detail & content this has it all. The satellites used to have an incorrect trajectory but maybe now its been fixed during its hiatus...? However, in a word, this is stunning.

For a few years this was the most phenomenal app with depth, accuracy, and tracking. It constantly exceeded expectations. I fear the creators may have gone broke because as others are writing, the app no longer works. I too uninstalled the app and reloaded it in the app store but although the opening page loads, it doesn't get beyond that and then disappears. I'm betting that they couldn't keep good developers with low ad revenue.
