  1. 5/5EXACTLY what I needed!

    I have been a Stellarium user for quite a few years now, so I am familiar with the app’s features and user interface. What has really motivated me to write a review is Stellarium’s most recent update. I had been recently looking for a way to view my backyard obstructions in a planetarium software, and was well aware of the ability to import your own backyard panorama into Stellarium, but the problem that held me back was the fact that I image from several places in my backyard for different constellations. Long story short, Stellarium’s new AR feature has really upped my game to be able to view any deep sky objects path from any point in my backyard. This is much more versatile than creating and importing many panos into the software! Thank you! If I had one suggestion, if you could implement the ability to zoom in AR mode, that would be great! All in all, in my opinion, Stellarium is the best planetarium app/software to use for both Visual and Astrophotography!

  2. 4/5Good App - Iffy Interface

    Overall I really like Stellarium. But there is one design choice that is so frustrating that it really makes me want to use other sky apps for Astro. Specifically, when you are required to enter a number, you can’t just type it in. No, the developer has fallen for the fallacy that it’s better to use spinners and sliders. Even worse, when entering a focal length, you need to use not one - BUT TWO - sliders. So a 1377 mm focal length you have to sin the first spinner u til you hit 13, then spin the second spinner till you hit 77. So instead of taking two seconds to type 1377, it takes 15 to 20 seconds to spin it in. It’s ridiculous. I know it seems like a small thing. But when you have Stellarium on your phone and on two iPads, and they don’t sync with each other, and you routinely are adding new scopes or cameras, well, the frustration becomes real. A classic example of interface over function. This is literally the only thing I dislike about the app. In all other aspects it great. But this one point is just needlessly complicated and frustrating.

  3. 5/5Such a Joy to Use!

    This app is such a joy to use! I’m not an astronomer, I don’t have a telescope or anything more than my iPhone’s night mode, but I do have the good fortune to live in a light free area where the panoply above me is regularly on view. When I wander around at night or early in the morning, Stellarium opens up the omniverse for me, showing and naming the constellations and stars that would otherwise just be little lights. Through it, I have started to appreciate the vastness that surrounds us, even to understand how different cultures saw what I can see, so that it places me both physically and historically. I don’t know of any better way to use a smartphone than that. A totally unique application. Kudos to the developers!

  4. 5/5Fantastic, exactly what I want.

    This app is every stargazing tool I could want. It has extensive features even in the free version. I found the interface intuitive and spectacularly useful for identifying planets, constellations, and even individual stars. I learned a lot from the included descriptions of each constellation, but wish it was a little bit easier to read, maybe with just a couple headings separating mythology and interesting features and linking the Wikipedia entry instead of just loading a block of text. I also happen to love the fact the architecture is open source, and that they offer a lifetime price for the pro features. Good vibes all around!

  5. 5/5Favorite app for homeschooling and hobbies

    This app is so easy to use, and at the same time so mindblowingly complex to wrap my mind around (but in the best way): I’ve had another astronomy app for years, but hardly knew about minor objects like asteroids, much less that they have names and all kinds of amazing facts: this is a whole new dimension of astronomy and we love it! It would be really amazing if you could enable the option to have more than one object labeled at a time!! And someday… in my wildest dreams, all the Latin, Japanese and other language names could have English translations searchable—or at least noted somewhere! Meanwhile, my kids and I are finding gems daily and learning so much!
