Comments about SkyView® Explore the Universe Android Version
This app is definitely worth the $2 upgrade from the free version, contains all planets lacking from the free version (and yes, Pluto) in our solar system, far more stars, satellites and galaxies that can be easily located or favorited for later in the menus and is cheap for its value. Yes the calibration can drift or otherwise be a little bit off as others have stated but I would recommend this for what it offers at its price point. Definitely enhanced my stargazing experience.
I was using the free version on an older phone and I really love it. So then I got myself a new phone (Samsung A32 5G) and decided to get the paid version of the app. Unfortunately it's not working well. The objects on the screen are 15 degrees offset to the left compared to reality. I've tried doing that figure 8 sensor recalibration maneuver multiple times and it's still offset by a very visible amount. I hope you guys figure out what's up with that.
I have played with about a dozen of similar apps, liking SkyView and Stellarium the most and finding all the others notably less desirable. The most important criteria for me has been how easy it is to match up the displayed stars with reality and how hard it is on the eyes to switch back and forth. Suggestions for improvements: * Make the constellation art more dimmed (or dimmable) so that it does not overpower the other displayed information. * Similarly, make the thickness of the constellation lines configurable. * Implement a quick-switch display menu, like in Stellarium or Sky Map, so that users do not have to go through multiple clicks to switch on/off constellation lines, art, trajectories, satellites, etc. Ideally a single click from a slide-out menu should do. * Allow the display to to adjust when holding the phone horizontally. Currently the the identified star/constellation name is fixed on the bottom of the display (when held vertically). When the phone is rotated, the name stays in the same location, where it gets obstructed by the hand holding the phone, and the text direction becomes now vertical.
