About this app

The night sky has always belonged to everyone. Now Star Chart does too.

Used by over 40 million people worldwide, Star Chart turns your Android device into a window onto the whole visible universe — just point it at the sky and the stars introduce themselves.

✦ Sponsor a Star
Star Chart is free. Every feature, every upgrade, every corner of the cosmos — no paywalls, no subscriptions. If Star Chart brings you joy, you can support it by sponsoring a real star and making it your own. A small act of cosmic ownership that keeps the app alive for everyone.

What you'll find up there:
• Point your device at the sky and Star Chart tells you exactly what you're looking at — in real time, using GPS and a precise 3D model of the universe
• Over 20 million stars accurately mapped across both hemispheres
• All 88 constellations, illustrated with the timeless artwork of 17th-century astronomer Johannes Hevelius
• Every planet in the solar system, their moons and the Sun — all rendered in beautiful 3D
• The complete Messier catalogue of 110 deep sky objects
• Comets, meteor showers, and satellites tracked live
• Guided Tours — let Star Chart take you on a journey through the night sky
• Time Shift: travel up to 10,000 years into the past or future and watch the sky change
• Voice control: just say "Fly me to the Moon" or "Where is Andromeda?"
• Tap anything to learn more — distance, brightness, mythology and more
• View below the horizon, set any location on Earth, zoom deep into star fields

Whether you're a curious child pointing a phone at the dark, or a lifelong amateur with a telescope and a notebook — Star Chart is your companion under the stars.

How do you change a 5 star app into one that barely merits 3? Come out with the latest update like Star Chart. Gone is any discernible home page & while the basics of what was, at one point, the best app of its kind exist, it's now a confusing system that requires 'back door' methods to get where you want to go. When something isn't broken, no 'fix' is needed & do I get a refund for the $60+ I've spent on upgrades in the past now everything is free? Of course not. Thanks for nothing, Star Chart.

Thanks for the feedback. Star Chart now opens straight into SkyView since that's where most users want to start, it's not to hide anything. Tell us which features feel hard to find and we'll point you there. We can't refund past purchases for features that are now free, but we do value and appreciate your early support.

Hi Team, I have been using your app for the past few months. After the recent update, I really appreciate that you added Jupiter and Saturn's moons and made premium features free. However, there is a major bug with satellite tracking now. Whenever I try to track a satellite (like the ISS), the app does not show the satellite icon or dot on the screen. It only shows a constant direction arrow (>) on the edge of the screen, even when the ISS is passing directly overhead. The compass and screen rot

This is used to be my fav. Star app. But i think it has bug now. The app won't open and just closed automatically. Even on my new phone.
