100% best app for finding things in the sky (for me). Took a minute to figure out that the locations are off-centered just enough so that what I'm searching for is on the screen, while the actual object is just to the side of my screen in the sky... Allowing me to see both at the same time. Helps me figure out if I'm on-target without moving the screen away and back many times to verify. Pay for the app, it's worth it.

After a year of working perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy S9, the App now crashes or goes to black screen every time I try to use it. Prior to this issue I'd have given Starlight a rating of 5 because I love its simplicity, accuracy, and user-friendly interface but it's almost useless now. I've uninstalled and reinstalled to get the latest version but that didn't resolve the issue. Please, please fix this previously super app!

Saved my night!! I was so excited for the chance to see Pluto tonight, had all my equipment set up and ready to go, and at the very last minute I discovered that absolutely none of the star/planet mapping apps that I was using included Pluto... except this one!! I went through at least 6 sky map apps tonight alone, and Starlight is the only one I'll be keeping. Thank you so much for keeping little Pluto around, devs!!
