Just point your phone at different parts of the sky to update the sky map. But search function is confusing. Don't click on magnifying glass in main sky map screen. Instead, click on the 3 vertical dots (...), then click on the magnifying glass. Why would you program the search function this way? Please fix it. The app takes up just 2 Mb of space on your phone, not like some other apps taking up 100+ Mb. Thank you developer.

I've used this so for years but recently.. perhaps because I changed devices..I no longer have the ability to view the sky as I move my phone. I'm not sure how you refer to that feature but for me that was the reason I used the so... now it only serves as a basic non interactive sky map... and as awesome as that is its just not the same level of awesomeness.... please help me fix this issue if it's on my end... thank you

If you don't need anything fancy like an app to aim your telescope, this is far and away the best what-is-in-the-night-sky app. And has the best graphics — love the defraction spikes & colors that help stars stand out from other objects. I would enjoy images when zoomed in on planets & nebulae, but that's not what SkEye is for. Fantastic customization options. Intuitive UI. And only 15MB. Its only real shortcoming is a strange dearth of moons around outer planets. (Doesn't zoom in far enough?)

Ok star map. PUSHTO function simply doesn't work. It will barely locate the saved alignment points and won't get within field of view of searched targets. It would work much better if the view axis could be rotated 90° to view along the phone's longitudinal axis, rather than the camera axis. Then, the phone could be aligned in a mount like a finder, with no need for complex alignments that never actually work.

Exactly what I was looking for. It lets you either use the phone sensors to target stuff, or (unlike every other app) allows you to scroll manually. The app doesn't ask for any unnecessary permissions (unlike the other 10 I tried today). And most importantly it doesn't open and then demand money before you can see anything (like the top recommended app does).

Well...Generally speaking—It works; It is Free; It has NO ADS—for any would-be app maker...that's a solid ~4 Stars right there. I don't have a choice to parse out the last star...it's certainly not perfect; again, ...it's free..(?). BUT! Free can always be better! Now, I gave 5 stars—however, in the spirit of 'Free & Better,' allow me to criticize: 1. The Horizon needs to be fixable relative to device/preference. 2. An alt perspective would be useful (Sol top-down for ref?) 3. More Free!

It takes a bit of practice and patience but it's fantastic once you get it. Hold the phone in your left hand in the center of the screen like pulling back a bow string. Put your pointer finger of right hand in the middle of your other two fingers, perpendicularly to the phone in every direction. You will soon be 👉 right at your goal ⭐!

Something bad is going on with the app. There is a huge delay in reaction to any input you make on the scope, and the motion is extreme. As you make adjustments, nothing happens, and then all of the sudden you are on the other side of the universe. Used to work very well, but lately the sensitivity has plummeted. Please, fix the app, as it is quite neat in its approach to polar alignment.
