Community reviews for Star Chart

Kids are fascinated with stars. How far away are they? Where is the Big Dipper? Why are they in different places different times of the year? How big are they? This app can give them the answers. Using the device's GPS, it creates a real-time look at the skies, day or night. Point the device at a spot in the sky and it will show you the stars and constellations in that area. As you move across the sky, the app moves the stars accordingly. Names of major stars are shown, as well as the constellations (both line & picture drawings). Touching a star brings up information about it. Sky search allows you to look for planets, stars, constellations, & messiers, or take tours. Tours are visually stunning representations of planets, as if you were flying by them. In-app purchases include meteor showers and extended solar system. This is a simple, beautifully done app that will amaze users.
