Awesome app and I use it often! There are things I'd like pointed out and hopefully updated however. One is the misalignment of a couple layers for deep sky objects, particularly with Andromeda. I continue to see Andromeda in two locations, with a hazy oblong layer offset from the more detailed starry galaxy layer. They're quite far apart too, so it kind of ruins the immersion I can feel. Might occur with other deep sky objects, but Andromeda is the easiest to spot.

The free version is a little glitchy. Sometimes it seems to loose proper directionality, although that may be my devices fault, or some other interference. And I sometimes get frustrated not being able to look at things that are on the horizon line, but otherwise this is a super cool app. You get a lot for free, recommend giving it a shot.

Thank you for the positive feedback! A hardware compass sometimes returns bad data and need to be calibrated. You can easily do that following the instructions at https://starwalk.space/en/tutorials/fix-sky-displacement-tutorial

It's one thing to have an app that shows you where the moon is, the planets, cool stars, etc. But this one... adding the detail to make the sky look real with different shades of color and shapes makes this one very attractive to learn with. Excellent detail, in my opinion. Go ahead and buy out the ads. It's worth it.
